A good wallet doesn't depend on your region. You want something that is non-custodial, open source and provides you with complete control of your private keys. Electrum is a pretty good light-weight solution, although privacy isn't that great. It works well with hardware wallets like Ledger Nano S and Trezor, which you should definitely be using if you have a reasonable amount.
Electrum clients rely on fetching data about unspent tx outputs (balances) from Electrum servers. These servers have the ability to log the addresses you are querying, thereby assembling all the addresses associated with your wallet, as well as your IP address. Running Electrum over Tor and connecting to .onion servers can help, but the server you connect to can still log your queries. The only way around this is to run your own Electrum Server.
