What's your favorite locations for bases, and why?

Title says it all.

Also, what do you usually put in the bases after they've been built?

Personally, I like Europe for my first base. I had a base in Warsaw, called "Warsaw", in UFO:EU. In my most recent game in Xenonauts, I chose Sevastpol', in the Crimean peninsula in the Ukraine as my base. I always name my bases after cities or towns in the area that I place them.

In this game, I've not really progressed much at all into the game yet, so I basically have just my starting base and another hanger.

What about you guys?

I like to go for maximum coverage of land. Shooting stuff down over sea or chasing it around untill it comes to land is a hassle. For that reason I usually end up in the IndoChina region covering a little of russia and most of china.

Sou'frica is my favourite for a first base. Covers a lot of land (like DeviousAlpha), but has the added benefit of covering a bunch of funding nations. Then I place my next base in North America somewhere and then one that covers the little space that my first two don't near China and Australia.

Currently, I'm placing the first one in Med, and then one in any one of the southern US states. Then, it's just getting the coverage from the far east.

I usually place it on Madagascar. I hope my Soldiers turn out like the penguins from that movie.
