My TV is not a smart TV but has hdmi inputs. Are there any non American alternatives to the Amazon fire stick?

Roku is headquartered in California. If we're prioritizing user friendliness over location (nothing wrong with this!) I'd go with a Google TV box or something like the Google streamer. Since it's Android based you can (with a little bit of a workaround) change the launcher and ditch the ads. With Roku you're stuck with whatever they give you; and they just "accidentally" tested ads on startup before you even see the home screen.
