    1) If your site has a .pk extension it is showing up only in Pakistan.
    2) If your site is hosted in Pakistan, it might be the case.
    3) If your site's language is in on of the dialects of Pakistan.

    Overall, your site would definitely appear in the SERPs under google.com.

    Actually I'm from Pakistan but I don't think that this site is linked with any .pk domains

    Send an email to your host and ask them if they are based in Pakistan.

    Go to webmaster tool and check Country Targetting is set to Pakistan? If yes, then set no association.

    I thought Google did actually link you.
    Reading your post it doesn't seem so...

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=superdiscountshop.com&btnG=Google+Search
    Results 1 - 10 of about 889 for superdiscountshop.com. (0.04 seconds)

    Your site is in google.com.

    My site is hosted in the USA, is a dot org, and most of my traffic comes from Japan at the moment, followed by Australia then America. So I am unsure but.. Maybe you are targeting very competitive keywords! and you just got lucky in Pakistan! :D

    Cheers
