Are Computer/Laptop USB Conections The Same No Matter The Country?

Is the connection / port for USB the same no matter what country the computer or laptop was sold / made in?

I swapped USB thumbs with a French and a German computer before and they worked fine. Based on that, I'd say USB is a standard across countries.

Cool, cool. I thought that too, but i bought a 10 port USB hub the other day and it said "UK Cable", that was fine as im in the UK, but it got me thinking, are they different USB cables / connections for different countries.

USB is standard globally . Nowadays, it is just a matter of device compatibility with latest USB technology.
