As far as I understand, you can't. Steam locks the account to the region it was created in. If your IP address says you where in the US when the account was created, the account is always bound to the US. The same goes for any other country an account was created in.

As far as I can recall; It used to be that using a VPN would trick Steam. Then they changed it because, people where using VPNs to get better prices on games by using currencies that where not native to their own. A US local changing their location to Russia, for a lower cost in rubles for example.

Sorry it's not the answer you probably wanted, but there it is.

OP, here's the FAQ that sorta applies to you since you mucked around with your country settings: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6627-QSNM-5276

What do I do if I am a new user that is currently traveling?
If you are a new Steam user it is not possible to temporarily change your store region to make purchases while traveling. You will need to return to your country of residence before you can set your store country.

We suggest setting up your account and your store region before traveling. Doing so allows you to see the store in your country's prices and to be able to make purchases as you would normally at home.

Example scenario: a permanent resident to the US creates an account in Spain
If your permanent residence is in the United States and you created a Steam account while traveling in Spain, you will not be able to set United States as your store country until you have returned home. To complete purchases while traveling in Spain, you will need to use a Spanish payment method or Steam Wallet Code.
