lets guess from where i am!

I've been living in India since 2010 and I have come across different people here as expected.
As they say,India is the country of wonders in many aspects and one of the things that really makes me wonder ,though in another way, is what I call the " sequence of countries".
let me explain: a random passenger, lecturer, salesperson , waiter , driver and etc. sees you and asks you one of these questions (or a combination of them) :
1-from where?
2-which country?
3-where you?
4-country?
 
In the beginning , I used to actually answer them , but later for some personal reasons preferred not to. Then the problem appeared was that their reaction wasn't as I was expecting and they wouldn't just let it go and instead ,they tried to guess the country from which I came here!
 
there is nothing funny I think about these countries but the order of mentioning them..like you are either from the USA or china or something like that!
 
So ,the sequence of guessed countries was /is :
(sorted by years)
2010: USA, England (or) Kuwait.
2011:USA,Spain (or) Italy ,China!, Israel!
2012:USA,Kuwait,North India!
 
for your information the last one just happened last week ,in an auto rickshaw ...and I am still wondering from where on earth these orders come up! 
the next time I may not say but be my guest,take a guess !

      after that "china" is the surprise here!
      I remember I was talking to a Chinese friend in college ,a lab assistant saw us and came over,and started the conversation.in the end,he asked my friend about his nationality and then asked me if i'm from the same country as my friend was!
      I mean what?how!whyyyy!?
