Languages and nationalities are not a one-to-one match anyway. What would you expect from a Canadian flag? French, or English? The USA has NO official language, so that makes even less sense.

Aliens connect their nanoprobes to your the main character's PC and download the Internet so they can judge humanity.
Even if they had magic tech to do this, they're still constrained by the MC's shitty 10Mbit DSL. Somehow they can download everything humanity has ever done in 5 seconds, and all while pictures of it are showing up on the monitor for no good reason.
In Scotland we have a thing on some homes - like trailers park sort of things - that requires them not to be used for living for at least one month out of the year. They're cheap to buy (like £30k for a beachside home with a deck and shared facilities) but you're not technically allowed to live there permanently.
