And the signs are in the same language, and the people at the gas stations all speak English.

If you had to get gas three times along the way, saw signs only in German and Croatian, and paid to cashiers speaking German and Croatian, I think you and your friends might have noticed something was out of whack before you had gone 900 miles. Anyone can overshoot a few exits on an interstate. Overshooting three countries is a different story.
