No you purchase and depart from the same country. I was just saying you could start your RTW in Sweden, close by.

Just thought i would continue here.

There is no way of doing a OWE3 for Europe/Asia/SA right? i have to use either NA or SWP?

Cause from what i understand even transiting through other continent will count.

Also is a transit considered a segment? if not does that mean you can do 4 segments, and do unlimited transits as long as your within the 20 flight limit?

Yes, you need xOWE4 to visit South America.

20 flights limit means 20 flight coupons, 20 boading passes, or 20 flight numbers for whole your trip.
Even your flight contains some stops, one flight number means one segment.

For example, QF1 SYD/LHR 1stop at BKK.
If your itinerary is SYD-LHR and one flight coupon, it is one segment.
If you go SYD-BKK-LHR and two flight coupons, it is two segment even you just transit at BKK.

As well as the overall limit of 20 segments, there's also a limit of 4 within each continent (6 for north america).

Not until there is a flight from Asia to SA (none at present), and transoceanic surface is not allowed except for Australia origin OWE. Both are unlikely to change soon, so you are limited to xONE4 when including SA, SWP or Africa.
