Windows 10: Region Settings on Windows 10

Hello, I have a question regarding Microsoft's region settings on Windows 10.Even if I am not living in the US, if I set my Region Settings to United States, will it be deemed illegal by Microsoft?Hope I was able to ask clearly. The reason why I ask this, is because when I set my Region to my own country, I can't use Windows search bar for internet.But if I set it to United States, then it allows me to search the internet.A reply from a Microsoft employee who is fully aware of this answer will be much appreciated.Thank you.
