Unhappy FMC Databases B767/B757/B747

Forgive me if I'm wrong but perhaps you techies out there might help me with this one. What do your MEL 's say about operating an a/c without a database in the FMC that reflects the area that you are operating in? Possibly like having a phone book for down town Tokyo when in Seattle. I know most MEL's say you can have an out of date database as long as special proc. etc. etc. and no more than 10 days elapse etc. But having a database covering Siberia when operating in North America is really not having a database at all ,would you not agree? No database is not a deferrable item and is therefore no go. Am I barking up the wrong tree or what ? Any info would be greatly appreciated
