The answer is a group of islands.




More properly "geography and language", I suppose.

          Looks like




          the different parts of the image correspond to Geographical areas encoded with different methods. Here are a few decoded for a start:
          enter image description here
          For example, 4d 65 64 65 6c 70 61 64 is for Medelpad in ASCII

          Nagaland is written with cyrillic letters

            We can see binary code on the right of "demerara", it's written in white on a black surface, the first line is : 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1. There's the same font for the one below Saarland, with roman numbers : 2 15 20 19 23 1 14 1.

              ma-so-da-ri-so seems two be 2 characters too long, so probably 'so' needs to be replaced with a single character. mandarin looks like a good solution, but how is that geographical?

              @ user Gareth McCaughan♦
              I agree that its a bit difficult since the "so"and "n" look a lot like eachother and since its pixels it looks more like a "so"

                I think that after all the eight-letter words are discovered, we'll find that there's exactly one letter for each of the 8 positions that doesn't occur in any of the words.

                  I don't think your guess about the final extraction can be right. E.g., the last letters so far are all ADIGLNO and only eight answers are un-found, so there's no way to eliminate all but one of the possibilities.

                      We can see binary code on the right of "demerara", it's written in white on a black surface, the first line is : 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1. There's the same font for the one below Saarland, with roman numbers : 2 15 20 19 23 1 14 1.

                            The katakana one (20) looks to me as if it says "ma so da ri so" which I can't identify.

                              ma-so-da-ri-so seems two be 2 characters too long, so probably 'so' needs to be replaced with a single character. mandarin looks like a good solution, but how is that geographical?

                              ma-so-da-ri-so seems two be 2 characters too long, so probably 'so' needs to be replaced with a single character. mandarin looks like a good solution, but how is that geographical?

                                        I agree that its a bit difficult since the "so"and "n" look a lot like eachother and since its pixels it looks more like a "so"

                                              I don't think your guess about the final extraction can be right. E.g., the last letters so far are all ADIGLNO and only eight answers are un-found, so there's no way to eliminate all but one of the possibilities.
