Letsencrypt is under US jurisdiction. Is there a free-er alternative? (sopuli.xyz)

I know that I can simply make my own private certificate authority that only I and my family trust. But is there some public provider like letsencrypt that is in a free-er part of the world than the US?

Maybe I'm mistaken but aren't the logs cryptography verifiable? (As in you can't create a rouge cert without it creating a trace)

apparently certs can have a cryptographic proof of having been included in the CT logs. but what do browsers do if the letsencrypt cert has no such proof?
