It takes so much more resources to get your data outside your country. And if your country is a part of 5-9-14 eyes, you should not be using your countries vpn at all.
Like I said, if you're trying to hide from your government, your opsec requirements are on a whole different level than those of someone trying to download a torrent. You don't need to use TOR over a public wifi while booting Tails from USB on your laptop if you want to download Fast X. A VPN that is either not required or even better just cannot provide information to the content industry is quite sufficient in that case.
The five eyes stuff is dumb. For starters, this is is a technical question, not a political one. If your OPSEC relies on guessing where the CIA does or does not have resources, you fucked up.
I can assure you, the CIA is perfectly capable of buying colo racks in Slovakian datacenters.
