They're near, if not actually, universal in places like Canada and Scandinavia. Not exactly tiny markets.

Canada has roughly 40 million inhabitants, Scandinavia (if you include Finland) less than 30 million.
Even combined, that is pretty much exactly the population of France alone, or about 15 million less than Germany alone - and neither of those is exactly a huge country.
Canada and Scandinavia, on the global scale, are small markets.

And how much of the world's purchasing power?

Now add Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The parts of Russia where the rich people live, too.

How about you do it? I'm getting bored of recreating the character of Sigourney Weaver > Gwen DeMarco > Lieutenant Tawny Madison in Galaxy Quest.
Hint: less than Canada even when combined, both population and GDP.

Central London?

Just voting for this wasn't enough.
