Supporting XCOM's activities is a Funding Council of 16 countries that will supply XCOM with § and extra resources (e.g., soldiers, scientists, engineers) but will also ask for assistance. Each country provides funding as long as they remain in the council, which depends on their panic level, which ultimately depends on the player's ability to 'protect' those countries by successfully completing tactical combat missions. Continents provide bonuses for placing your base there and for covering the entire continent with satellites.

Panic Level
Each country has a panic level of 0-5 depending on how well XCOM responds to alien activity in that country. Once a country has reached a high enough level of panic, that country may permanently withdraw from the XCOM project. Starting panic levels are higher in Classic and Impossible difficulty levels and failing or skipping a mission on those difficulty levels increases panic faster.
Satellite Cover
The Situation Room can be used to manage satellites, including launching new ones built by Engineering (assuming there's room under your current Satellite Uplink cap). Expanding satellite coverage enhances UFO detection and provides bonus § and resources. Satellites also decrease the panic level of the countries they cover. Aliens will target and destroy satellites; XCOM in turn can protect their remote satellites with collocated interdiction aircraft. This does not create a new base, just 'hangars' in the sense that the aircraft are stationed with the satellite.

Finances
The Situation Room provides links to XCOM Finances, the Gray Market, and pending requests as well as displays your total § on-hand and monthly income.
Objectives
The Objectives suggest milestones (e.g., "Construct the Alien Containment Facility"; "Research the Arc Thrower") to help you progress through the game. Those actions are usually marked as 'Priority' on the lists of available projects for your base.
