What are the differences likely to be encountered in other countries?
Isn't a basic mortgage calculation based on principle times interest, and
then determining monthly payments? There could be other aspects to
calculate, depending on the scope of the module.

I'd go with the suggestion of "Finance::Mortgage" or ("..Mortages"). but I
don't see an obvious need for a country code. If mortgage markets and
calculations are widely different between countries, couldn't one module
be flexible enough to handle variances in the formula.
