If I wanted to keep my investors and the Japanese market happy, Italy, or Germany.

For the largest Asian market, I would base the region entirely on China, although I would lose the rest of the international market—basically, an exclusive region for that market—it would still be profitable.

If I wanted the money of the American left, California, and make it "Tumblr the region". If I wanted the money of conservative America, I don't know, Alabama or Texas? Personally, I'd prefer to base it on the entire Yellowstone National Park.

And if I wanted to surprise an international audience, it would be Nuclear Wasteland Australia, making it the weirdest and craziest region of all, making it a survival game, with mechanics of hunger, dehydration, heat exhaustion, illness, injuries, and more for both your character and your team. You could be devoured by giant sand whales, touch a plant that's actually a poisonous lizard, die from swimming in water full of Pokemon amoebas, be attacked by poachers, be hunted by aliens, have colossal bosses appear out of nowhere, lose your stuff and all your progress, start naked and beaten from scratch.

The fans would probably hate it, and it would be a financial failure, but I'd be happy to have created something different for the series.
