Win 8.1 Bing map control is showing access denied image

I am creating a Windows 8.1 application. I am using Bing amp control in it. But it is showing access denied image on the Bin map control.

  <map:Map x:Name="MapControl" Height="480"  Width="475"   IsEnabled="{Binding IsMapEnabled}" 
                                            Credentials="{StaticResource BingMapKey}" ManipulationMode="All" ZoomLevel="3" 
                                            ShowNavigationBar="False" ShowScaleBar="False" ShowBuildings="True"  ViewRestriction="OneWorldOnly">
                                            <map:Map.Center>
                                                <map:Location Latitude="{Binding CurrentLocation.Latitude}" Longitude="{Binding CurrentLocation.Longitude}"/>
                                            </map:Map.Center>

enter image description here

Credentials are also given. What is wrong there? If anybody knows the reason please help me.

This is due to the region settings. Certain regions are blocked due to geopolitical issues. This is documented here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj670541.aspx

One way around this is to set the HomeRegion property of the map to US or some other supported 2 letter country code.
