Details:
After logging into my SE account when applying for the Alpha test, I am receiving an error - "The region is different." I am unsure why this is the case, as in the requirements it does not state any specific regions that can or cannot apply. I live in Australia, where English is my native language. All the requirements state is that you need to be able to submit bug reports in one of 4 languages (English being one of them).

Steps:
1. Going onto the Alpha test site.
2. Reading the requirements.
3. Logging into my SE account.
4. An error "The region is different" is displayed.

I really want to apply for the alpha test, and considering I live in an English speaking country, I don't understand why I cannot do this.
