The number of Azure Regions increases every day. Just a few days ago two new locations were announced. All the things that are now happing related to the cloud are not only crazy but also scarry.

Scarry from the government and legal perspective. For example inside an Azure Subscription, a user can create storages in any location around the globe. What happens if you based in the UK, you have customer information that is not allowed to leave the country.

You might say that you would train the team that has the rights to create new resources only in Azure Regions that are based in the UK. This solution is not enough because from government perspective you don't have a mechanism that would enforce this.
