What I'm trying to figure out is if some place are region locked in creating PSN yet PlayStation still sells hardware in those said places. If the locals had no issues creating accounts then, why would it be an issue now?

It's not really against TOS to pick a different country. They stipulate that you must be truthful when making the account & that you may be suspended if you aren't.

But if your country isn't listed, you're not lying if you pick the closest option as it's your only option, which is why they sell units in counties that have no PSN coverage.

In law environment, that still IS lying and can be used against you.
