BTW, why didn't they leave the country? Really weird that with the wide world open to them they decided to stick around the UK.

Because the whole series depicts the UK as the center of the world, a continuation of the pre war Pax Brittanica.
Little, if any, mention is made of wizards/witches from other countries unless absolutely required, and none are portrayed as being equal to the one based in England. There is not even a mention of Ministries of Magic of other nations (China?) or in former colonies (US? India?).
