For example, I have a league of 16 teams, 9 US, 3 Mexico, 4 Can. I use the Americas - USA/Canada/Mexico Region. I set the foreigner player limit to 20 based on team nationality. This assures each team will have at least 5 players from their home country on the team. The remaining 20 will come from any of the 3 countries in the region.

I'm still not sure that quite fits what I was thinking of with regard to limiting foreign players. I was thinking of a way to put a limit on the number of players a team could have from outside the UK and Ireland, ie outside the region. All English/Scottish/Welsh/Irish players would be designated as 'home', regardless of whether they played, for example, for London or Dublin.
I'm not sure I would want to force Dublin to have a given number of Irish players on the team and London to have a given number of English players (especially as there are about 10x as many English players in the league as Irish). My draft pool each year is drawn from across the UK and Ireland, so in terms of the limit I would want to treat all homegrown players the same.
If I could base the limit on league region, rather than league or team nationality, I could limit the number of imports from Cuba/Venezuela/Japan/USA etc that a team could have on its roster, while having each team in the league work with the same rules on the available pool of 'home' players.
