At this stage I would say your own country would be the best. The reason is very simple - language.
I have affiliates in my team from different countries and I am pretty sure they are not reacting or doing what they need to do because they do not fully understand English. I am trying to communicate by translating my message in their language but I think a lot is lost in translation. It is also extremely time consuming if you have 20 people from 20 different countries and you have to translate.
You can also communicate with people from your own country easier and set up ways to work together a lot easier, you experience the same kind of obstacles, have to adhere to the same rules and regulations etc. You can provide more personal support too when you are in the same country and speak the same language.
