You can't create multiple tables with one statement; but you *can* put multiple statements
on a single line. However, this does nothing for performance - nor readabiltiy, for that
matter :-)

You could (on *nix) write a simple commandline loop for it, I suppose. Something along the
lines of 

for x in UK US BE FR; do mysql -e "create table ${x}_table_new as select blahblahblbah";
done
