San Marino 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.
San Marino is the world's oldest surviving republic — founded in 301 AD by a Christian stonemason named Marinus. It is completely surrounded by Italy yet has maintained its independence for over 1,700 years, making it a remarkable anomaly in European history.
