It seems reasonable to ask for > this upon installation time (?) My suggestion: use the current timezone as a fallback unless the user has specified the locale somewhere. That can obviously be done in NM or lower, ideally we delegate this sort of thing to the supplicant and just pass the alpha2 when NM adds the interface to the supplicant. The addInterface() call args are just a dict, so it would be trivial to add another item in that dict for country code. Since the country code is global to the machine it's probably something we should just store in the system settings service, and it's also something that probably requires privileges to change.
