What you're asking for unfortunately does not exist (although what 
you're asking about in your sub-question re Britain may, I don't know). 
  I've often proposed something along the lines of what you're asking 
for, and in fact Bill Poser and I did a rudimentary survey of about 150 
languages several years ago, now very out of date.  (Actually, we 
weren't looking so much for compiled copora, as for raw resources--for 
many of the languages we looked at, we were reasonably certain there 
were no compiled corpora, but there might be things like electronic 
dictionaries and on-line newspapers.)

Having said that, here are some places that will give you some of the 
answers you're looking for:

    http://www.olac.org
    http://www.languages-on-the-web.com/
    http://www.lmp.ucla.edu/
    http://www.ldc.upenn.edu
    http://dir.groups.yahoo.com/dir/Cultures___Community/By_Language

And I'm sure you're already familiar with www.ethnologue.org, which is 
not a listing of corpora, but a listing of languages of the world.
