I think it is best to start in Europe. Since your initial base is free, and
since the cost to establish a new base somewhere in Europe is more expensive
than anywhere else ($1,000,000 versus $800,000 for the U.S. for example), the
most economical starting location is Europe. My second base is in the U.S.
while my third major base is in Asia near Japan.
