Greece: 2 for sure but probably three if I could decipher the Greek alphabet. The #1 team Olympiakos started Regan Hood, Ana Lazarevic, and Saskia Hippe at least in CEV.

I don't pay much attention to these rules. Switzerland requires two local players playing and France only one, i think.
The tier thing is always hard to do. There are hardly any matches between clubs from different continents. In many leagues the gap between top and bottom seems pretty big. Some leagues are dominated by 1-2 clubs, others have 4 title contenders and so on...
For the european leagues mentioned (just a guess):
Italy and Turkey at the top
then Russia maybe somewhere between (not sure if the league is closer to ITA and TUR or the next tier, probably the latter)
then Poland, Germany and maybe France
then Switzerland, Finland and maybe Spain (they seem pretty similar to me)
Sweden is still slightly behind them, i think
Romania is hard to say, but i think overall a bit weaker than France but slightly better than (SUI, FIN, ESP). There are also Hungary and maybe Greece quite similar to Romania, i would say.

Italy: 4+ = The rule is 3 out of 7 starters have to be Italian. 4 foreigners are allowed as starters and no more than 2 per federation on the roster. No limit about bench players, you can hire 6 foreigners to sit in the bench but 3 Italians always have to be on the court.
Turkey: 3+1 = 3 on the court and 1 in the bench. No limitation about nationality, you can hire 4 Serbians or Americans.

In Poland you can sign as many foreign players as you like but only 3 are allowed on court. As for competitiveness I would say the Polish league is strong fourth place behind Italy, Turkey and Russia. The gap to the first two had grown bigger over the last few years but recently things started to look good again. The condition of the Polish league is strongly connected to the condition of the national team. When the national team plays well, then sponsors come along. The 4th place in EC last year was encouraging, and although losing to Turkey in Olympics qualifier was a huge blow, the game was watched by 4 million viewers, the biggest audience since th EC final in 2005. This attracked sponsors , the Polish league will be sponsored by a big energy holding company Tauron starting this coming season, also the second-to-last team of the last season Volley Wrocław secured a back-up from the big KGHM company. Budowlani Łódź and ŁKS Łódż didn't achieve any success in the CL last season (which was expected because they had very limited budgets) but in the CEV Cup Chemik Polike won both games against Galatasaray rather comfortably and Developres Rzeszów put up a good fight against Busto, so that was was also very promising. Unfortunately this damn coronavirus will probably stop the recent progress of the Polish league, most of the mid-table clubs are supported financially by the cities they are based in and the small local companies,and both these groups are hit hard by the virus so they will reduce their support significantly for the coming season  |

In Russia you can have two foreign players, most teams only use one. Because Minsk was in the Superleague players from Belarus were exempt from the foreign player rule.

In regard to the European leagues, I think they're hard to decipher because it is changing always. At one point Azerbaijan and Russia were the two powerhouse leagues. Switzerland I would argue would have been up there at one point too with all of the power Volero had for a few years. Turkey and Italy always seemed to have been amongst the top but recently had become deep in the quality of the league from top to bottom. Germany and Poland are two leagues that I like to think are growing, at least before COVID. Stuttgart beat their first Italian team ever this past season, a telling sign the league is on the rise.

What about Brazil, China and Japan's limits? I read that Brazil was going to increase their foreigner limit next season (not sure to what number), but I think that was one of the reasons why there was an increase of rumors last month about players going there, unless that was a result of the financial impact the Italian League is going to face. China is still 2+1, 2 on the court and 1 on the bench. Of the Asian Leagues, China are a level above Japan in my opinion with Korea and Thailand both under them. |

Turkey: 3+1 = 3 on the court and 1 in the bench. No limitation about nationality, you can hire 4 Serbians or Americans. You are correct on the limit on court but this past season both Vakifbank and Eczacibasi Vitra had 5 foreigners on their rosters. So either that is the limit or there is no limit on how many can be on the bench. Now I know in Champions League there are little to no restrictions. I think only 1 domestic player has to be on the court. In the Club world Championships both teams fielded all of their foreigners. |

So either that is the limit or there is no limit on how many can be on the bench. . 4 out of 14 players on the game roster can be foreigners. Clubs can sign with more foreigners but they have to sit in the stand. (Clubs can rotate 4 players for every game) Brazil: It used to be 2 but it's increased to 3. Japan: 1+(1, foreigner from asean countries). |
