Comment 24 for bug 392986

Adding data point from official Ubuntu site:
http://www.ubuntu.com/community
"Local Ubuntu teams
Find and join an official local community (LoCo) team near you, or get advice on how to create a team in your local community."

Note the specific terms "local community" and "near". Countries, regions, states, provinces are by definition not local in this sense.
See attachment for screenshot.
