XCOM can have many bases set up around the world, if it can afford to! At the beginning XCOM has only one base. sited where ever the GM chooses. The DM also has the say of how many extra facilities can be added to a base, since they come in all shapes in sizes, most are ex-military  nuclear or secret establishments.

MAKING A NEW BASE: it will generally cost $200,000 just to begin construction of another  base (excluding costs of base areas such as access lift, hangars etc) . XCOM can have many bases, provided it can pay for them!

FUNDING

At the end of each month, the nations funding XCOM will decide on how well the organization did in their own particular areas, as well as their overall performance. If they are satisfied, funding will increase by up to 10%, and if they are not pleased it will drop. Special circumstances can adjust this (The DM has some notes on this in the Alien section)
Below is the amount of funds that XCOM received at it's initialization, after the costs of the starting base are deducted it leaves $4,125,000

XCOM can also get money by selling advanced items it either makes or captures from the Aliens. For instance, Alien bodies are valuable, fetching up to $10,000 from pharmaceutical and bio-labs! Prices in such markets fluctuate, but typically the selling price of an item is 150%--200% of the cost of producing it.
