uppercase region codes are defined in ISO 3166.
The specific CultureInfo to use at runtime can be
found in a number of ways. The class provides four public properties
that return the current CultureInfo instance.

CurrentUICulture returns the
CultureInfo used by the
System.Resources.ResourceManager. This can be a
user, machine, or application-based locale setting. It is set in
Thread.CurrentUICulture.
InstalledUICulture gets the default
CultureInfo used by the
ResourceManager and represents the locale of the
Operating system. InvariantCulture returns the
CultureInfo for the invariant locale, which is
non-culture-specific, as well as in the default OS language. This is
used with non-culture-specific functions such as system-level calls.

retrieve the culture name. For example, NativeName
gets the culture name in the language of that culture.
LCID gets the NLS-specified number for a culture name. Other properties ...
