Answer 1

If I navigate to the constructor the summary I see in Visual Studio says:

name: A string that contains a two-letter code defined in ISO 3166 for country/region.-or-A string that contains the culture name for a specific culture, custom culture, or Windows-only culture. If the culture name is not in RFC 4646 format, your application should specify the entire culture name instead of just the country/region.

The entire culture name would be 'en-GB'.

Or you could use 'GB'
