Situation Room (EU2012)
Supporting XCOM's activities is a council of 16 countries that will supply XCOM with funding and extra resources such as soldiers, scientists and engineers but that will also ask for their own needs. These countries are geographically divided so it is up to the player to decide what regions to defend when alien activity threatens them. Each continent provides bonuses for your base and funding, the latter depending on how good of satellite coverage they have and the results of combat missions.

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.
Satellite Cover
To improve defense, XCOM can manufacture satellites and then choose to launch them over specific countries to improve coverage. This will also give XCOM a funding bonus, with extra scientists and/or engineers received for each additional country. As the satellite cover expands, the player get specific bonuses for covering entire continents.

UFO Interdiction
Additional interdiction aircraft can apparently be stationed at each remote satellite. (pause this video at 36:01 to see)
