My country is not listed in iMessages

Does anyone know why certain countries are not listed in iMessages app? I failed to use this app because my hone country "Egypt" is not included among the built-in list of countries!? Thank you.

Not all content in the stores and all features on the iPad are available everywhere in the world due to either government restrictions or licensing issues over which Apple has no control.


Facetime and Messages are restricted by some governments and Apple may not have the licensing rights to sell certain content in all areas.
