Let's see, ruling out the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland) leaves Australia, New Zealand, Southern Africa, or Canada where they use British spellings (I hope that list is exhaustive).

Jane's Spanish accent is almost perfect. And her Spanish is the best I've heard in a person from her country (it's true, I'm not being )
