I can't understand neglecting the continents of Australia and Antarctica, but no Asia or Africa?! 
Non-EU passports makes scouting Africa and Asia a low priority for youth players. Buying players over 21 from African or Asian teams would also be low priority. Pretty much all the South American kids we pick up have EU passports.
I think it'd still be worthwhile to scout for talent in Korea, Japan, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, etc... every once in a while. No harm there 
With east Asian players there is a lot of adapting required, which means you are better looking directly at the J-League and K-League and getting them when they are 19-24 and more mature. They cost relatively nothing anyway. Kagawa cost Dortmund €0.3m. The most expensive would be €2m max.
Why are we even bothering scouting Sweden? I'm Swede and I can tell you for sure that there's nothing here to be seen. The only few, not even handful, of promising players are far from Juve material. Waste the cash on some place else.
Maybe a dumb question but why not follow more former Soviet countries, like Poland? Are we assuming maybe that Germany already have "control over the operations" there? Since most players from that area usually plays in either Germany or Russia.
