As an island nation, Lillorainen has no direct land borders. Road rules within our sphere of influence may heavily vary.

Do the neighboring country allow you to drive without any kind of recognition mark (be it an oval sticker or the country code in the license plate)
The country code got included on license plates by default in the 1990s (a blue stripe on the left with the federal flag and LL below it); oval stickers may be included in addition if this is given; vehicles without the stripe require an oval sticker whenever leaving the country.

Are foreign countries' vehicle's allowed to sport their license plate or they have to be registered again with provvisory license plate?
Yes, they are generally allowed, as soon as the country of origin can immediately be told. If there are no license plates in the country of origin (crazy, but such places do exist!), a provisory plate needs to be issued.

I'm going to try and answer all the questions made so far, including the theoretical ones in the OP (except the one about colours as I haven't thought about that too much yet):

What side of the road does your nation drive on?: Both. Esparmuran consists of two municipalities, simply called West Esparmuran and East Esparmuran. In the West, people drive on the right. In the East, people drive on the left. There's a long, convoluted reason behind this, but in short, back in the late 1800s/early 1900s the municipalities really, really did not like each other (to the point where a civil war broke out between 1897-1900). During these early times in the nation, each side thought of as many ways as they could to differentiate and stay as disassociated to each other as possible without outright breaking off from the other. The side of the road you drive on was simply one of these ways. Prior to 1903, both sides drove on the right, but East Esparmuran changed to the left side for "geographical reasons".
What real-world nation, if any, inspired yours?: Esparmuran is pretty much just a much smaller Greenland with some things changed here and there.
How old is(/are) your leader(s)?: Prime Minister Jim Oullie is a strapping young lad of 66 years.
What tech-level is your nation?: Despite the country's old vehicles, complete lack of enviromental laws, concerning pollution rate, old fashioned, heavy usage of coal and even whale oil, Esparmuran is indeed set in Modern-Time. It just hasn't had the technological ability to advance like other nations due to it's extreme weather.

What music does your leader generally listen to? Little is known about Prime Minister Jim Oullie's musical tastes, though it's assumed he listens to the Espar music radio station (which mostly plays old rock classics and top charting pop tunes), as do many Espars.
Does your leader play an instrument? Probably.
If he/she does play an instrument, then which one? If you've ever been in his office, you'll see he owns an acoustic guitar, hung up on the wall. Whether he plays it or if it's just for show isn't exactly well known.
If he/she does play an instrument, is your leader particularly skilled at it? You'd have to ask the guy himself.
Anything noteworthy related to your leader and music: If there's anything we know about Oullie and music, it's that he's at least aware of the Espar 70s rock band Meresulten, which he referred to as "legendary" when he made a speech last year about Espar culture.

What type of electrical outlets does your nation use?: Esparmuran almost universally uses Type A plugs, out of simplicity.

The idea behind this thread is great btw.

[Epoecuaotoe]

What side of the road does your nation drive on?: Right, except for some isolated micronations.

What real-world nation, if any, inspired yours?: Papua New Guinea, Switzerland, New Zealand.

How old is(/are) your leader(s)?: Upjøsqa is 85 years old.
What tech-level is your nation?: Similar to Earth in 2030-2050.

What music does your leader generally listen to? Generally classical.
Does your leader play an instrument? Yes.
If he/she does play an instrument, then which one? The piano.
If he/she does play an instrument, is your leader particularly skilled at it? Grade 18, but has declined slightly in the past few years due to arthritis in his hands.

Anything noteworthy related to your leader and music: Nothing.

What type of electrical outlets does your nation use?: I have not considered that yet.

The idea behind this thread is great btw.
