That's all I can think of.
Britechester I suppose you could say is British (as seen from an American perspective though), the modern part is very similar to my university in Britain with the big dorm buildings that are more like apartment blocks and the university being one building in a city area. The older university is more like American universities with the quad and "school spirit" but it looks like it was modelled upon Cambridge (one of the big elite universities for the rich and priviliged) so I guess that works.
San Myshuno I suppose is Asian, but I get more generic city vibes. Could be anywhere. There's nothing identifiably Japanese enough about it to call it an Asian world.
Yes, definetely! I would love a western african world inspired in Namibia, Angola or South Africa.

Then even with that mod could configure each region with a language
Simlish for City
Windenburgish for Countryside
Komorebigo for Highlands
Selvadoradian for Desert
So I always like to start off with Willow Creek and Newcrest which are right next to each other. Granite Falls is located in the forests that border the edge of both WC & NC. From GF if you take the main road you pass through Glimmerbrook or you can take the dark old path and head to Forgotten Hollow. Past GB you end up in Windenburg.
If you head toward the city off of WC & NC you'd be heading toward San Myshuno, specifically the Uptown. Mt. Komorebi is just a drive away from the Fashion District. Take the road out of the Art Quarter will take you to Evergreen Harbor. From EH you can head more more east and hit Brindleton Bay or you can go north and head to Britechester.
Back to WC if you head south of it you'd hit Del Sol Valley and heading toward the dester will take you to Oasis Springs and further into the desert you'd hit StrangerVille. Head south of DSV and you can hit Selvadorada. Lastly to get to Sulani you head to the coast of DSV and hop on a boat.
San Myshuno is a Pacific Coast American city to me.
Sulani has the closest match culturally to French Polynesia, but borrows from many Pacific island cultures. I don't consider it any more Hawai'an than, say, New Zealander.
Glimmerbrook the upper level, Granite falls the lower level
Which has its roots in British Victorian. Victorian architecture is better understood as relating to a time period rather than a particular style of building. There were several main styles running essentially concurrently, with builders and designers blending elements with carefree abandon.
Queen Anne style, I do believe, is British.

@GalacticGal thats why he said AMERICAN queen anne style. When an architectural style goes to another country, it goes to some adaptations within that culture, creating a variation.
Now is:
Countryside (East):
Windenburg (capital), Brindleton Bay, Britechester, Henford-on-Bagley
Apparently there are historical plaques there? I never found those in game but here are the descriptions. I put this info in a spoiler in case other people want to discover these easter eggs for themselves.
"This Park was once the estate of scientist and herring baron Barnabas Skye. After his mansion was gutted by fire, the fish mogul gifted his extensive gardens to the people on the proviso that his personal Observatory remain standing and free of use to any budding astronomer living in the city. To this day the telescope is maintained and updated by the Barnabassian Scientific Society."
Llama Freedom Movement
"On this spot the Llama Freedom Movement was born. A simple protest, known as the Llamoid Sit-In, shocked the public with its extreme use of acoustic guitars, hair flowers and slightly tuneless singing. Though many years have passed since that day, the spirit of activism remains alive and well, and will continue until all Llamas are free to strut and spit and neck wrestle to their heart’s content. (Plaque paid for by the Llamean Popular People’s Front)"
Disaster Memorial
"This plaque commemorates the Shirt Factory Meteor Strike And Subsequent Big Lizard Incident that razed the Fashion District to ash. Like a phoenix reborn, the District has risen from this disaster to become an exemplar of regeneration, with award winning modern architecture and a vibrant festival scene."
Herring Monument
"This Plaque was erected to mark 150 years of fishery in our fine city. From the humble kedgeree peddlers of the gold rush era to the mighty height of the Canning Industry, the noble Spangled Herring (Clupea Pallasii Fabulousa) has been the slippery, silvery key to the fortunes of this city. As we step into a bold new century, let us not forget the bounty of the sea, nor the piscine origins of our metropolis."
DynaSign Co. Plaque
"Raised in memory of the Open Street Act, legislation which allowed communities of all cultures to organize celebrations in the streets. The progressive vision of our founding fathers has allowed generations of residents enjoy the many delights that ‘Festival City’ has to offer. (Plaque donated by DynaSign Co. ‘If it’s in the streets, it’s on our Signs’ (TM))"
Monument to 'Emperor' Horton
"This monument marks the spot where noted eccentric ‘Emperor’ Horton experienced the cities’ first Death by Pufferfish. (Plaque donated by Stove Makers Against Sushi Association)"
Some of this looks like San Francisco history.
