Tough one and I'm not really in the loop. I have heard positive privacy things about Switzerland a lot, but yeah it also seems to be the home of the uber-elite. Can you link or PM me to the hosting companies you are considering? It looks like DMCA policy might differ by company.

Sure! Good idea.

Here's my favorite one I've found from each country so far:

https://oneprovider.com/dedicated-servers/oslo-norway

$46 for 8GB RAM

https://my.alpinedc.ch/index.php?/cart/&step=3

$30/mo for 4GB RAM

I think switzerland is like "home base" because they all know their data and money is safe there. But I don't think it's compromised in the sense of data security. And I think their entire business model for the country is based on not compromising security, and I think they know if they start breaking that people will lose faith. Like everyone is losing faith in NZ with their sudden law changes after the shooting. Switzerland has a long track record of not changing their airtight data-security laws. Norway does too, but not as deeply perhaps. It's probably a coin flip tbh. Switzerland just sounds more secure too, I think the users would find a swiss server more impressive than a norway one, even though they're the same cost.

Anyway, tell me what you think of those specific companies I linked to.
