Hosting location and intended audience, I assume.
Being "accessible" from a country doesn't normally require that you obey
their laws, because that would cause no end of trouble and ridiculous
results; there have finally been a few court rulings confirming this.
Operating a project from a particular country, or operating it primarily for
people from a particular country, on the other hand, is more likely to
subject you to their laws.
