How to Learn the Countries Where Windows Store Apps are Available

Even though eаch app in the Windows Store has its own webpage that can be found using a search engine, Microsoft doesn't offer a full web version of the Windows Store. Also, in the Windows Store app, you cannot view apps that are not available in your region. This raises an interesting issue: you can't learn the countries where an app is available. It can happen that an app that you like is in the Windows Store but it is not available for your country. How do you learn the countries where any app is available?

Welcome to the 3rd-Party Web Version of the Windows Store

Below you can see a non-official copy of the Hulu app that doesn't provide much in terms of real, legitimate content. However, this app is available in all countries.
