I understand the argument for corporate hegemony & whatnot, but variety is far better.
I prefer the idea of having house-specific lanes & gates and it makes sense to have them regionally specific.
US, UK, Germany, & Japan all have roads & traffic signs but are all unique to their areas. I figure it would be nice if the idea of regional uniqueness were in some small way represented in game.

Would Ageira and DSE cater to the various houses they do business in? If so, how different? Would the change in appearance be strictly cosmetic, ie; differing textures, slightly altered details. Or should they be radically different designs, each with their own unique animation?
There's an American construction company named Bechtel, & they contract to build roads all over the world & their end products are regionally specific because they have to contract with regional governments...so yes, Ageria & DSE would presumably do the same.
I think the changes should just be cosmetic, because I imagine it would be an effin' nightmare to go full-blown radically unique across the board.
(but radical changes past cosmetic would be GREAT!)
If radical changes were introduced a little bit at a time, it would be probably be a much easier pill to swallow as an overall project.
