it turns off the PSU, so you can work on your computer with no power on it, with the cable still connected.

Ah...

Now that you tell me the numbers I know what the switch does

basically, you need to flip it to match the voltage of the outlet you are connecting your PSU into.

why does it matter what country im in?

Some countries use 230V AC outlets while others use 115V AC outlets. If you use a 115V setting in a 230V AC household then expect lots of fires.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Wow, that seems.... really dangerous to just put and switch on there that could easily get accidentally pressed (I assume). I'm surprised a PSU maker would do that.

They're usually covered with tape and are very hard to accidentally press.

As mentioned above if you set it on 230V and you are in the USA then you will damage the psu and possibly other components. 

 

What psu is it ? As modern ones are auto switching.
