Same in Pakistan. People tend to use a lot of English words in Urdu, even when an equivalent native word exists. For example, the proper way to say "What's the time?" is "کیا وقت ہوا ہے؟" ("kiya waqat hawa hay?"). But a lot of people will say "کیا ٹائم ہے؟" ("kiya time hay?") instead. But of course, there are also loanwords such as "واشنگ مشین" (washing machine) and "کمپیوٹر" (computer).

If you consider lemmy.ml and hexbear.net "most extreme" then sure.

Damn. In the SpongeBob Movie there's an ice cream shop called "Goofy Goober". I didn't know why the mascot's a peanut until now.

I wouldn't count it, as it's still in the San Jose metropolitan area... same reason why I didn't count Wagah in my reply. It's too close to Lahore.

I'm from Pakistan and I know it too, it appears in the movie Robot Dreams.

For foreigners, probably Abbottabad (population: 275,890) due to being the site of Osama Bin Laden's compound.

For Pakistanis themselves, it's a bit harder to determine, as I'm not able to find reliable population statistics for smaller settlements. However, some contenders are probably Nathia Gali, Chitral, Skardu and Ziarat. All of these towns are in the northern mountainous regions of Pakistan, which don't have as much population density as e.g. the plains of Punjab. They're also fairly popular tourist destinations for Pakistanis who want to take a break from the heat. Ziarat could be especially famous, as Muhammad Ali Jinnah (founder of Pakistan) spent some of his last days in a cottage there. It even appears on the 100-rupee note.

Yeah, we've been studying the sex lives of various different animals (including ourselves!) for centuries now, yet nobody bat an eye until now. 🙄
