[SOLVED] Regional settings of Gnome, how to have more regions?

Hi, I'm giving Gnome a try and after installing it and changing my keyboard layout I went to change my regional settings. In the "Region and Language" part of the system settings, under "Format" there's only one region to select, United States. Clicking the + button brings a list of regions but there's only the US in there, what do I have to install to add more?

Enable the locales you need

I see, thank you ijanos, that part wasn't clear anywhere. I wanted the system to be in English so I had only enabled the en_US locales, never thought it'd affect the regional settings too.
