I can't address those geographic locations with authority, but the two best tailors (they work as a team) in Antarctica are these guys:

In the photograph above, they are measuring the client. Discussions of cut, fabric, sauce, and poaching time follow.

Here is the happy client:

For the UK, I have to go with William Westmancott and his Ultimate Bespoke. Why? Do you know what the word "ultimate" means?

You should one-up him with a £46,000...Ultimate+ Bespoke Suit.

Then again, he apparently is in not in business anymore...could have been only one suit away from solvency.

How about outer space? Who is the best there?

There have got to be millions of planets with tailors.

Apparently an infinite number, have you seen the suits they've been doing for Richard Branson?

That was his MTM. But then he went bespoke.

I don't see why; check out the high armholes on his MTM!

For all the money that he's spending, Branson is getting a rather small rocket.

I hope that his grip is good.
