Remarks
If the current RegionInfo object is created with the RegionInfo.RegionInfo(Int32) constructor that takes a culture identifier parameter, the Name property value is one of the two-letter codes defined in ISO 3166 for the country/region and is formatted in uppercase. For example, the two-letter code for the United States is "US".
If the current RegionInfo object is created with the RegionInfo.RegionInfo(String) constructor and is passed a full culture name such as "en-US", the Name property value is a full culture name in .NET Framework and just the region name in .NET Core and .NET 5+.
