Of course I don't personally know if FRS can even
be *licensed* for use outside the USA much less,
if usable, what the rules'd be.

The USA and Canada have the same FRS radio allocations, so US FRS
radios can be used in Canada, and vice versa, without interfering with
other services (whether it is strictly legal is another matter...)

Other countries have similar services (and similar-appearing radios),
but often on different frequencies - In North America, FRS is around
460 MHz, but the similar service in Europe is on 446 MHz - use of
North American FRS radios in Europe, or vice versa, is likely to
result in interference with licensed services on the other frequency,
and is almost certainly illegal.
