--- Comment #18 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
Not to contradict Eike (personally I totally agree with his assessment), just
wanted to mention two related discussions, which incidentally show how
ambiguous this is - so this basically is expected to support Eike's PoV:

1. In this one, a random person argues that for "Guessing the missing parts"
problem, *the rule is to select the "original country" of the language. The
exceptions are mostly based on population* (mentioning en, pt, and zh as those
exception cases).

2. This one shows that the first fallback for English locales is chosen by
Google to be "International English variant", which is en-GB: "After opening a
bug report on Google, defaulting to en_GB and not default strings.xml, they
mentioned that this in the intended behaviour for Android N above".
