Booker is, IIRC, just UK, which would mean that your reliance on it is excluding any other countries where English is spoken, including this one.
For many years, the Booker was limited to books written in English by authors from Commonwealth countries (plus Ireland and Zimbabwe) and released in the UK; in 2013 this was expanded to any book written in English and released in the UK, which resulted in Paul Beatty and George Saunders later winning.
