I think Altgrave is right.
"My country" is an entity to which one is supposed to have loyalty. If you claim the location of "liberty" to be your "country" it appears to me to be saying that the location of your loyalty is dependent on the location of liberty. That is to say that the cause of liberty is your primary loyalty, beyond that of patriotism.
I had expected this to be a quote from Tom Payne who moved around a bit in support of "liberty", but in fact its Ben Franklin. Other quotes from him make it quite clear that he was fairly big on "liberty".

You prefer to live where you can be free. You still can have liberty inside yourself if you live in a region that is not free.

It means that you will only live where there is liberty.

it means that you believe in the ideal of liberty, and associate yourself with where it can be found, which, ahemsorrytoeditorialise, these days, is away from everyone else. FAR away.

I am not bounded by any region or nation . Where there is freedom of thought and expression , I feel at home .
I cannot be slave to rules or people and the place where I can be myself is my country .

It is a way of saying "There is freedom where I live". It refers to America.
