Nor would a chapter including Vancouver and Montreal or Bombay and Calcutta  
(note that there are language differences between those cities as well). Is  
size a function of geography (Canada and Russia are bigger) or population 
(India  and China are bigger). 
 
It just seems that instead of importing existing models from Europe with a  
few tweaks, the unique conditions of each of the aforementioned countries would 
 require the foundation to develop new models to meet specific needs.

One  reason is that the United States is a really really really big   
country.  France is the largest country in the EU.  It's a  little  
smaller than Texas, so if France were an American state (an  amusing  
and unlikely thought) it would be the 3rd  largest.

Having a "local chapter" including both New York City,  Chicago, and  
Los Angeles doesn't feel very  "local".
