Also the proposed security questions are often very US centric.

You're being purposely difficult. "Born in a hospital in another city" has absolutely no bearing on the question. The city the hospital was in is the answer. As to the rest of your complaints, those are things you have to deal with when
creating the security questions. As you only need to set up one or two questions, I still contend it can't be
that taxing to come up with a few whose answers won't stump you
utterly later on.
As to the suggestion (@crich70) to use false information, I find that a bit pointless for these types of security questions. If a hacker already knows that sort of personal information about me
before they try to gain access to my online accounts, I'm just plain screwed no matter what. And I've certainly got more to worry about than my email account being compromised.
Pick questions/answers you can't forget, or write them down somewhere. It's not rocket science.
