easy master<->master postgresql 11 cluster solution?
If you're doing this across regions, you really really should reconsider. If you're doing it in the same data center you might be able to get away with it (but then I'm not sure why you're doing it in the first place, if the system fits in one DC then you probably can just scale up). It might be worth considering a sharded & passively combined approach -- i.e. every country has it's own data, and there's some huge public schema which consists of all the data that is drip fed in to materialized views or tables at regular intervals. You could also combine this with temporal_tables to get a very delayed but theoretically time-consistent (well, aside from clock skew across regions of course...) view of your DB to query... Really depends on the use case.

SQLite the only database you will ever need in most cases
One of postgres's most underrated features. RLS is amazing, can be unseen/basically work silently if your programming language-side tools are good enough, and is documented well (like everything else):
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-rowsecurity.html
But the power of PG is that it doesn't stop there, if you combine this with a plugin like temporal_tables and you can segment by user and time:

All of this mostly unknown to the thing that's accessing the DB. If that's not enough for you, why not add some auditing with pgaudit:
https://www.pgaudit.org/#section_three
I think it might not actually be hyperbole to say that Postgres is the greatest RDBMS database that has ever existed.
