#4981: There is no easy way to tell tor to not use the same country per circuit

 Priority:  normal       |      Milestone:     
Component:  Tor Client   |        Version:

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Frequently the same country, generally Germany or the US, appears in my
 circuits twice. Often, first and last hop in the circuit.  This seems
 suboptimal. There is no way to tell Tor to avoid using relays in the same
 country as the first and last hop. It is trivial for a single government
 to watch my connection as I establish it and exit within sovereign
 borders.

 If there is a way, please tell me. thank you.
