Region	Key	Description
any besides `GB`	`all4`, `britbox`, `hayu`, `now`	These collections will not be created if the region is not `GB` as these streaming services are UK-focused
any besides `CA`	`crave`	These collections will not be created if the region is not `CA` as these streaming services are Canada-focused
`CA`	`max`, `showtime`	These collections will not be created if the region is `CA` as these streaming services are part of the Crave streaming service in Canada
