Any idea of putting the map first doesn't make much sense to me - I may be in Germany, but I don't want German as my language on openSUSE.
Which is almost certainly an exception rather than the rule, so perhaps not the situation to set the default by.
I don't change language settings on installation, as long as I understand the default language, I will keep the default (also polish keyboard is basically US keyboard but with alt modifier having some additional characters which are interchangable with standard US keyboard characters so I don't even bother changing keyboard). I'm not in New York (same for >80% of US population). Maybe we could get location from user's network (which is a common practice nowadays).

oh no!!, please not that. Let's not go the way that the system knows better than the user.
Geolocation could be used to automatically propose the user a setting that is better suited that somewhere in USA for everybody as done now. Then click on the map to choose the correct country if the guess was wrong. I understand that the map currently is used only for the timezone, but why not use it for more?
Anyway, I'm wondering. AFAIK one can change the keyboard settings during installation. It should be possible there to change to Austrian.
During installation I click on Spain, which gives me the Madrid time zone, then select Spanish keyboard and EN language as default, with Spanish as secondary language. It is easy to customize. If not the map, it could be a list of choices: language and countries taken from the list of available locales. Or directly list the entire list of locales, expanding on the side what EN_uk means. This list is longer to browse, but less error prone to code. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
