It has nothing to do with the country you are in. American options can be exercised everytime, European(-style) options can only be exercised at the end. If you click on an option (e.g. Contract Descriptions) it tells you which style the option is.

You can see that the OTM options have the highest theta decay the last seven days before expiration, while ATM options decay more constantly. Edit: This means e.g. you have to hold OTM credit spreads until expiration to make maximum profit from theta decay.
