How does one emphasize something in Spanish?

Question

Consider the following sentence:

I'm in your country, therefore I'll speak Spanish.

Notice the emphasis is on 'your'. How would this translate to Spanish?

Esto en el pais tuyo. It's a nontraditional enough statement to draw attention to the possessive adjective. — dockeryZ, Jan 31, 2016 at 9:11

With a big accented TU. (Like you were about to shout it.)

Estoy en TU país, por lo tanto hablaré Español.

Haha. I must really be over thinking things. It's really that simple, huh?

As a native speaker, I can tell it's just as simple as that.
