Since there is no canon source material to justify or
counter any suggestions, any way the GM feels it to
their advantage should/could do what they want.

Virtually all businesses must have some local
employees.  It is just a fact that the day-to-day
business in a foreign country be handled in the
locale's language and customs.  If you don't know the
language, how are you going to complain about the
electric bill, order new paper for the copier, etc.?

As much as some Americans get bashed for being dense
and ethno-centric to their culture, I feel that the
Americans on this list tend to think more "globally"
than not.  Lets not let stereotypes get in the way of
good and honest communication.
