When I open the site there is a modal window that reads: "It looks like you are in another country. This is the site for the U.S."

The first thing that went trough my head was "wtf is another country?" Does it have a name? Is it even on the world map?

The grey sides when you're on a wide screen, threw me off, for a second I thought I was looking at a full screen dribbble shot. I like the clean look, think it could've been pulled off better without the dark grey sides.

First thing - the global site seems different than the US site. Which one have you designed recently? I chose the US site because it looks better. I like the design very much. It struck me how you left margin around - that's interesting. One thing, though: the font is a biiiit too small, hard to read. Apart from that, although it looks like "just another website", it's more interesting than that. Well done.
