Hi,
What's the noun form of "domestic"? 'Domesticity'. But this is only used in reference to a person's home and family life, so it is not suitable in your context.
e.g.) a total of 100 branch offices (domestic and oversea) We usually say 'overseas'.
Why do you want to use nouns here? What is an example of a sentence you'd like to writ

Well, I cannot come up with a right example off my head now.
But I am sure I often get into the situation I want to use appropriate nouns and adverb forms of "domestic" and I can't find it in the dictionary, and there are several words that I can't find other forms of.
How about how to express the following correctly? When I don't want to use at "home" to avoide confusion with

Context is everything. "Home" is a noun used regularly to refer to nationally domestic things and people without confusion with personal domiciles: "policies at home and abroad"; "when the soldiers are at home." "Domestic" is an adjective used as often to describe the family/personal home as the nation: "domestic abuse."

Hi,
As a Canadian, I dislike at the use of 'overseas' to mean 'not American'. You don't have to go over a sea to get to Canada, or to Mexico.
I'd say 'domestic or international branches'.
