Can't change location to my country on newly purchased Xbox One

I just purchased a new Xbox One at Gamestop in Norway, where the Xbox One just recently released. I explicitly requested one of the non-imported, Nordic releases of the machine.

He ensured me that's what I got.

However, during the "Getting started" part of setting up my new rig, there was no option to choose "Norway" as my Location.

Now, I can't change my location to Norway in the Settings tab either. I can however select many other countries such as the US, Australia, UAE etc. I ended up selecting United Kingdom, but as they've got some wicked postal codes, the Norwegians ones won't even validate when e.g. adding a credit card.

Might it be that I just got an imported Xbox?
