United States 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.
The United States has won more Nobel Prizes than any other country. It put 12 humans on the Moon between 1969 and 1972 — the only country ever to do so. It is also the world's largest economy, larger than the next three combined.
