Why these defaults?
The country code comes from ISO 3166. Unicode CLDR supplies presentation-oriented locale, currency, paper, date, language, calendar, numbering, and direction metadata. Defaults reduce setup time; they do not decide what a valid document must contain.

Source review completed; detailed guidance unavailable
Evidence is insufficient for safe claim-level guidance
No local claim-level commercial invoice legislation found; do not inherit UK VAT. This is a documented research blocker, not a conclusion that no requirements exist. No parent-country rules are inherited and no compliance claim is made.
