Country-wide 12
Plates: long white front / short yellow rear
Gen3: car front shows blue-white-red patches through the blur ('French flag', red most visible)
This car is unique to Sri Lanka - Ghana's coverage shows a similar car front, but that car also carries a roof rack.
Ghana: No roof rack → Sri Lanka; roof rack + tape → Ghana.
All Gen4 = low-cam (bigger blur, wide-looking roads, low angle) - Gen3 here is normal height!
Japan: Kanji/kana + temperate landscape → Japan.
Switzerland: Alpine Europe → Switzerland.
Sinhala (very curvy, rounded) everywhere + Tamil (straighter) regionally; some English
Sinhala is unique to Sri Lanka - but Tamil is also found in India's Tamil Nadu; a Tamil-only sign alone doesn't settle the country.
India: Sinhala present anywhere on the sign → Sri Lanka; Tamil-only → could be Tamil Nadu, check other Indian clues.
Concrete poles: square w/ pinholes only in the top part + holey poles (big see-through holes, lower half)
Thailand: Pinholes bottom-to-top → Thailand; top-only → Sri Lanka.
Vietnam: Large see-through holes → Sri Lanka.
Short, wide tapered stone bollards - black base, white top
Tall white concrete waystones with an indented bottom section + yellow road number
Black-white striped signposts
Bangladesh: Bengali script → Bangladesh.
Bhutan: Dzongkha + mountains → Bhutan.
India: Indian scripts + shitcam/smallcam → India.
Nepal: All-shitcam + Himalaya → Nepal.
Malaysia: Malay (Latin) + left-drive highways → Malaysia.
Rural roads: outer lines but no middle line (most small roads have none at all) - good 50-50 decider
Tropical: lush green, densely populated, agricultural patchwork; often reddish soil (sometimes white sand); palm trees everywhere; orange/red tiled roofs with brownish wear
70% Buddhist: temples, Buddha statues, stupas, Buddhist flags everywhere (minorities: Hindu 13%, Muslim 10%, Christian 7% - strongly regional)
Tuktuks: bulky shape w/ black roof - green/yellow/red common; some low-quality 'shitcam' coverage exists (wide circular blur, brownish)
Regional 5
Area codes: landlines = 0 + 2 mapped digits (mobiles 07x non-regional)
Religion = region: Buddhism most of the country (absent north/parts of east coast); Hinduism north + east + Nuwara Eliya; Islam strongest east coast; Christianity northwest (Mannar)
Tamil script ≈ Hindu areas: native Tamils north+east; Indian Tamils around Nuwara Eliya; Tamil-ONLY signage → Tamil-majority areas (bilingual signs appear everywhere)
Topography: hills/mountains concentrated in the central-south; southwest = wet climate (deep green, dense); rest = drier (lower, open, brown-green mix - never truly arid; Gen3 looks more arid than reality)
Tea plantations → central + southwest, most just west of Nuwara Eliya (compact bright-green shrubs in rows on hillsides)
Specific spots 1
Distinct hilly long-grass plains, forests only in the distance
