You need to edit the "Local State" file

On Mac: /user/library/Application Support/Google/Chrome

On Windows: (Windows 7.  XP will be a little different) \Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data

Open the file in a text editor. Search for google.xx where xx is the domain that keeps coming up when you search.  replace .xx with your country. Safe and try again.

Always close chrome before changing the content in the local state file.  Open chrome after you have saved the changes in the "local state file"
