Finland drives on the right side of the road. In-game, the Google camera car is on the right side — so oncoming traffic comes from the left. This is the norm for most of Europe, the Americas, and continental Asia.
Finland has been ranked the world's happiest country for seven consecutive years. It also has the most saunas per capita of any country — approximately 3.3 million saunas for a population of 5.5 million, meaning almost one sauna per household.
