Answers.Text: In addition to what Jon said above, CiviCRM multisite also is handy if you have different chapters that want to be streamlined with the parent org but still allow for some flexibility. For instance, each chapter can have it's own accounts for things such as email or SMS service but still use the same infrastructure. There's also some out of the box permissioning with the multisite extension: https://civicrm.org/extensions/multisite-permissioning.

  CiviCRM multisite allows you to have several organizations sharing the same instance of CiviCRM, but only a superuser can see the data across all sites.
  
  The most common example is an organization with multiple chapters. You mention your organization is active in different countries. If:
  
  * You require that users from country A not be able to see contacts entered in country B;
  * Users in a "head office" need to see contacts from multiple countries in a single place;
  
  Then multisite is for you.
