Another option is:

switch( locale )
  case Japan: cipher = Camellia;
  case Russia: cipher = GOST;
  case Korea: cipher = SEED;
  case France: cipher = JEAN_PAUL_GAULTIER; // Since we're making fashion 
statements
  ...
  case Burkina_Faso: cipher = whatever;

This one would make more sense than forcing everyone to use Japan's vanity
cipher.
