Proxies mainly.
Big problem is Paypal. They won't allow you to change your country in your account. You basically need one account per country.
Main annoyance is that if you don't want to set up any payment methods in your new country, just use cards from your old country, and they decide your old account needs verification you can't configure a cellphone for a different country code, so you have to use your old phone/SIM card.
And if it dies or goes invalid then you can't make payments until you can sort it out.
It's a pain in the dick.

this.
paypal will also lock / freeze your account if they fail to verify your old address. so make sure you have no money left on it.
consider getting a prepaid credit card in your old country's currency. that was somewhat a problem for me because I still had some subscriptions up.
Other than that, if you use Android, banking apps of your new country won't work until Google decides to switch your residence location. Took me moths.
Why would you want to leave the greatest nation on Earth?

You can switch it manually but it is a round'about method to do so.
I managed to get my location changed to Japan after finding it.

It didn't work for me for a long while until I actually had the possibility to get a credit card in my new country (takes up to a year in Switzerland to get the required score for a newcoming foreigner) and added it to Google Play as my payment method.
I can think of a few examples.

I remember trying to watch the Sochi Olympics on CBC.ca, only to have the stream unavailable in the States.
The worst part was moving back to Canada.
Ebay and Amazon shipping costs went up dramatically. Netflix got "worse". Pandora is not available.
I even noticed that some YouTube ads went from Spanish to French (Quebec resident).

What you need to do is go to payments.google.com and in Settings change your country to your desired country.
