what is the best option for setting up a network for about 50 people across the world?

I don't know a whole lot about networks and stuff. A group of friends and I are working on turning a former Facebook game which was shut down a few weeks ago due to the lack of profit Into a game that will hopefully be much better (the developers that wrote the game didn't do a good job or writing the code but the people who played it got addicted) The problem is we live all over the united states and 1 person who knows English lives across the world, what would you suggest for a network and server? (we are looking for network engineers but have had no luck yet)
Thanks Gary, i have a few friends who are developers but that is about it, no one who is good with networks and servers, i think i have a lot to learn, but I do think it is possible, I might of missed it but i don't think you covered the problem that the developers working on the game live all over the united states and you kept mentioning LANs which are local area networks
