I'll start working on an OOC soon as we've got quite a bit of interest.  So far Canada seems to have the most votes for a setting.

This'll be a modern day setting with relevant technologies rather than a Columbo/Diagnosis Murder/Midsomer Murders set-up.

On your subject of the differences between the US and UK, Canada is pretty much a happy medium between the two. There's tons of diversity, more stringent gun laws (AKA you basically just have to register them and can't own fully automatics without special permits I believe). Smaller communities in Canada also have a sort of familiarity that you were talking about.
