It's not about where you are, but where you got your phone. HTC ships the 8x in europe without English US language in the ROM. Because of this you can't use English US as the default language, which is why you won't be able to enable Cortana, even if you change the region.

Is your phone HTC 8X/S and bought outside US? if so, the only thing you can do is wait until they release Cortana in your country, or buy a Nokia.
