I'm not in the US and there's a single key that corresponds to a back-tick. In fact, it hasn't yet been an issue for me on keyboard layouts for four different languages (from three separate language families, no less)!

Where is your keyboard from?

German keyboards have both accent directions as a dead-key. So you have to press press shift+´ then space to get `. And that assumes you can remember which direction markdown wants.
