+1 for the us and uk.

For ca:
@Marc (as speaker of the canadians):
Maybe the canadian can be with the us with special content, links etc?
For nz and au:
The same in uk?
So we would have only two different NLs for en.
The austrian and swiss (german speakers) are in the 'de' although they 
have their own market. And it works.
The swiss would have the same problem with languages as the canadians.
