Well most operating system distributions ask you when you install them
what region you're in and use a collation for that region.

In 8.4 you can check what collation a database is set to use with \l
in psql. In 8.3 the entire "cluster" has a single collation which you
can see using "show lc_collate".

You can see how your system's collations work by running sort:

$ LC_ALL=c sort s
