The site will be focused on specific countries, how can I put it example; the finish language of the site will be for the Finish (Finland). Same goes for other languages and countries. What worries me is that it would be a bit of a hassle to manage all the domains... |

Many global corporations with country-specific sites use different domains for each site and make their primary domain (usually www.companyname.com) a gateway where customers can choose their desired country and language. Each country is handled through a specific domain, and multiple languages (when applicable) are often implemented via URL/GET or cookie selection.
Yes, managing many domains is a hassle. The primary reason to choose such a method is recognition in specific locales. For example, .co.jp domains are only available to registered KK companies in Japan (the Japanese equivalent of a C-Corp), so such a domain is very familiar in Japan and give users a sense of added trust. Whether to go with such domain names or not really depends on your business.
If you need to put each site on a different domain (for some reason that you have not specified) but do not want the hassle of managing many domains, then you could consider subdomains: fi.companyname.com is the Finish site and www.compnayname.com is the gateway.
