Culture and locale are distinctly different concepts. Germany and USA 
are countries defined by administrative boundaries, each encompassing a 
great many locales and cultures.

Culture? My grandmother thought I had none, so better to not start there.

A better place might be the administrative areas in which most of your 
users reside (perhaps countries or continental regions) and then look to 
the systems the administrators of those areas have chosen.

If you have a truly global audience, then chose the one most 
administrations have chosen, which is likely ISO 8601.
