We have some rules in our country!
Hello everyone.
How would it be to use a relative clause in such a sentence?
In my opinion, It would not be a good decision to write
"We have some rules in our country that many people find to be hard to follow."
Because "that" seems like referring to "our country" instead of "some rules".
So, they would be better
"We have, in our country, some rules that many people find to be hard to follow."
or
"In our country, we have some rules that many people find to be hard to follow."
Do you agree with me?

" Because "that" seems like referring to "our country" instead of "some rules". In practice this is not a problem. We readily understand that "that" refers to the rules and not the country, so the structure is OK.

- Your other two sentences are OK too, in respect of what you are asking about.
- However, for the meaning that I believe you intend, it is not necessary to say "find to be hard to follow".
