... none of which are relevant when choosing a _font_. Changing a font should
have no effect on dictionaries, thesauri, hyphenation or autocorrect.

So, clearly, the choice of country should be placed somewhere closed to where
we control or configure the use of these features.

Even if choosing a country is significant in some contexts, there is rarely a
need to choose a pair from the Cartesian product of language x country (as
opposed to local language variants).
