What exactly determines the playstore location?

When I first registered my account I was in Malaysia, hence the store is set to Malaysian one. But, currently I'm no longer living there but It still detects Malaysia as my country. For a while, even Google Now thought I was a tourist when I came back to my home country but after reformatting I can no longer use Google Now since, it's not available in here. However, the store is still set to Malaysian Playstore. I do not wish to change this because my country playstore is really boring and dull. Almost every single popular app is not available, including stuffs like Viber and Clash of Clans which are widely used apps here. So, I was wondering if change my phone number and credit card info from account setting to my current one, would it change my playstore too?

I believe only by credit/debit card you can change your account so to show your address.

When I got my first Android I was living in Singapore, but my CC was issued in the USA and thus the Android Market (at the time) defaulted to the USA version which suited me just fine.

I suspect as the other poster said, it is based on credit card address.
