America should be Eevee, because there are so many opportunities for variation.

America actually has very little geographic variation in accents.

In the UK, for instance, it can change drastically from village to village.

As a native speaker, I agree.

But the way check out c/Englishlearning if you are learning English.

There is not much there, but I’m happy to help and answer questions.

I feel like all three of those accents have normal/fancy/wildcard options within them

No. Wild card is you learned English in a foreign non English native country and your accent is an absolute mess. You say Autumn but Taxi, color but wa(t)er, and maybe you call you cell phone your “Handy”.

Also, you never considered pronouncing gif as “jiff” because your native language (German), where you heard it first, has no soft G.

It’s a cosmetic thing. @mojo@lemm.ee here has set a display name in addition to their username, which I believe supports any unicode character.

Phew. I thought this could lead to Unicode in URLs, which can get nasty.
