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".
