Canada foreign? Eh?
I know that Canada is an independent nation, although it is (or used to be at least) a virtually seamless border. When I lived in North Dakota the nearest big city was Winnipeg. Used to visit regularly for a dose of civilization.
When I spoke of materials, Iwasn't even thinking about Ritual matters; I was thinking about officer manuals, forms, and other administrative materials. I suspect that our Canadien brothers in Quebec make do with forms and materials in English but the thought of having to translate materials into Spanish or French, the two other predominant languages spoken in the Americas seems like a big undertaking - oh, wait, I forgot Brazil, so we might need Portugese, too.
Giving proper service to a Zeta is tough right now. We have a colony in Alaska that may just be hanging on. The logistics of getting them the needed help is likely a challenge. In contrast, our Canadian Zetas are in the midst of civiization and easy to get to.
There are some significant legal differences as well that might enter into the equation. I'm not a scholar of European Union law, but there may be issues with respect to single gender organizations.
Finally, there is the question regarding how well the fraternal experience that you and I enjoy would transfer to another nation and culture. I don't have an answer for that, but it is a question that would require some serious thought before deciding to explore expansion beyond the US and Canada
