Zimbabwe 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.
Zimbabwe has 16 official languages — the most of any country in the world. The country is also home to Great Zimbabwe — a vast 11th-century stone city that gives the country its name and was once the capital of a powerful trading empire.
