Latin (German)
Germany 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.
Germany has over 1,500 different types of beer and over 300 types of bread. The country gave the world the printing press, the automobile, aspirin, the MP3 format, and the theory of relativity.
