What does the だと mean in 日本だと?


I found this sentence on a video game review site:

> 日本だと「不思議のダンジョン」と言ったほうがわかりやすいかもしれないローグライクゲーム。

I am not sure whether `だと` means 'in Japan' or 'if it were in Japan'. The
translation in one case would be:

> This is a rogue-like game that, in Japan, is called 'Amazing Dungeons' which
> is probably a bit easier to understand.

A rogue-like game is a genre of video game which is similar to the original of
the genre, Rogue. The other option which I personally think is more likely is:

> This is a rogue-like game which if made in Japan would probably be called
> something more easy to understand like 'Amazing Dungeons'"

It boils down to me not knowing the `だと` construction. Can someone be kind
enough to explain this usage to me?




Instead of `だと`, it should be broken down into `だ(copula)` and `と(particle)`.

`と` here is used as a particle that indicates an uncontrollable event or state
will follow after what the particle marks. Sometimes parsed as `if` but not
really accurate since it's not really a conditional. Also can be parsed as
`when`.

日本だと[A] would mean "if/when in Japan, [A] follows as a consequence (not
controllable by the first person and/or seemingly agent-less)."

Also take a look at [Derek's answer regarding と for
"if"-clauses](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/393/differences-
