This is based on trees and scenery looking like it would be somewhere geographically similar to Northern Europe, but that one building and the grid layout of the roads looking American. Am I on the right lines?

Road markings (that box junction in particular) suggest a former British colony, and are those mopeds driving on the left?
― sent a message through the Internet but it rejected (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 27 October 2025 16:29 (one week ago)
Chinese gate is a bit confounding but the people look more African than Asian to me. I'm guessing somewhere in Africa, I was going to say former French colony (building on left looks colonial) but if they really are driving on the left, then former British colony. There are more options if it was former French though

no vegetation which is odd. the indonesian cities i scoped have vegetation everywhere afaict. so possibly dryer / coastal. i don't see any evidence of driving on a particular side of the road. z axis road is one-way. y axis road likely one-way too? africa would be my hunch as well.

Might be stretching the "city" part, but . . . the railroad tracks look narrower than usual (USA usual, anyway). I thought those trees in the center of the left side vegetation clump might be Italian Stone Pines, but not sure, and I think those are common in many areas anyway.
