Here is a list of all the ccTLD's http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/
You will need to investigate which one in particular you are interested in.
Each one that has the restrictions [if any] is noted on the individual links.

If you are not a resident of the United Kingdom, you are not allow to register .co.uk domain.

I suggest you to contact the Registrar and consult with support before registering any domains.

Why are you interested in other country code domains? if you are an invester, .COM is the best.

Bad advice is worse than no advice. You're completely incorrect, there is no such restriction on .co.uk domain names.

It is little confusing now.. I would rather stay away from buying country specific extensions to avoid any issues.

By the way your feedback, clarity on the same is much appreciated. just to ensure all of us are on the same platform

Thank you
