Can you name a country which demands that works of art be published by a local publisher? I certainly can't think of one! It's entirely at the author's discretion to decide whether to give one publisher world-wide rights, or to sign separate contracts with publishers in different countries. The reason that many authors opt for the latter is that they can make more money that way (3 different publishers = 3 separate advances).
