Does the country in an oDesk account affect customer trust? To withdraw money?

I live in Lithuania, but I don’t consider myself a Lithuanian and I don’t see much “profit” in indicating a country that is far from known to everyone, besides, I know the Lithuanian language quite poorly, my native language is Russian. What will happen if you specify, for example, Russia? Will there be any problems?

Doesn't affect anything after you get feedback.

The main thing is not to indicate that you are from India or Pakistan. The rest of the countries are treated about the same.

Trust affects. For the most part, Russian developers on Odessa have a good attitude, so you can safely bet. As for the withdrawal of money - does not affect. It only has its own feature for US residents.

I don't think that Russian can have any problems on Odessa, except for ardent haters. But I, for example, have not encountered such.

Very rarely there are requirements “from Europe”, although I think that the attitude towards Eastern Europe and the countries of the ex-USSR is approximately the same
IMHO, the country affects much less than the rating and feedback.
I personally would not experiment, otherwise they will ask for an id during disassembly and then another country and explain because you are not a camel
