Most book publishing deals have geographical restrictions. Very few publishers are permitted to sell a book world-wide. A specific example: the majority of books have different publishers in the UK and US, for example. In that situation, there is obviously a requirement that the US publisher not be permitted to sell to the UK (and vice versa) since that damages the sales of the "correct" publisher for that country.
You may not like it, but that is the way that the publishing industry works, and it's not going to change in a hurry.
