Why does TOR not intentionally choose nodes from different countries?

Question

I've read than if an attacker could control both entry and exit node into the tor network he could easily de-anonymize TOR users. I have also read that TOR chooses nodes at random. So my question is wouldn't it be better to ensure that nodes are chosen from different countries (and therefore jurisdictions). I mean the network could still choose nodes at random from within different countries? (See pictures below for an example what should be avoided)

You can also have entry and exit node in the same country!

Note: I did not manually choose nodes I just pressed "New Tor Circuit for this site" until the shown constellations appeared.

Answer 1

Tor relays ARE chosen from random different countries. You are correct that the relays are chosen at random; tor uses three relays for every connection - the guard (node 1), middle (node 2), exit (node 3) and your relays will be different every time you use tor. The three relays will all be in different countries, tor browser allows you to see what countries the relays you are connected through by clicking the green onion icon while surfing websites in the tor browser.
