  I can’t surf for blogs from my country! I only want to read blogs from my country but ‘Blog Surfer’ is out of use. Can you help me?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Why don’t you use the global tags pages. See here for how to do that > http://en.support.wordpress.com/global-tags/

  Example: http://wordpress.com/tag/turkey/

  You can use Google search too.
  Example: Turkey site:wordpress.com
  Results: http://tinyurl.com/4xjeqeo

  Would be nice to have some sort of country filter – sometimes we forget there are more than a few countries in the world –

  I totally agree, it explains why noone can find my blog. It’s in Turkish but none of the features in wordpress makes it easy to access. Even I can’t find my blog typing the tags that I’m sure I put in my blog.

  It’s probably going to be easier to use Google:

  Turkey site:wordpress.com

  that should bring up all blogs about Turkey. As far as blogs written in Turkey, well, I can see political reasons for not exposing them (all WP.com blogs from China would probably be illegal by definition, and subject the bloggers to arrest) but the ability to geotag your blog already exists. It’s just that WP.com hasn’t made available that output to anyone but WordPress.com and possibly its advertisers. So it wouldn’t be hard.
