Starting from Google Play Services v9.6,you can now set a country filter to your autocomplete suggestions. Please make sure your Play Services version is at least v9.6

AutocompleteFilter autocompleteFilter = new AutocompleteFilter.Builder()
                            .setTypeFilter(Place.TYPE_COUNTRY)
                            .setCountry("US")
                            .build();
Intent intent = new PlaceAutocomplete.IntentBuilder(PlaceAutocomplete.MODE_FULLSCREEN)
                                    .setFilter(autocompleteFilter)
                                    .build(this);  

You can change the country codes by using their ISO 'Aplha 2' Codes
