Malta drives on the left side of the road. In-game, the Google camera car is on the left side — so oncoming traffic comes from the right. The steering wheel is on the right side of the car (visible in reflections). This immediately rules out most of continental Europe, the Americas, and most of Asia.
Malta contains the world's oldest freestanding stone structures — the Ġgantija temples, built around 3,600 BC, are 1,000 years older than Stonehenge. This tiny island has more history per square kilometre than almost anywhere else on Earth.
