Feel free to start a wiki page for Australia if you want

California at least has separate provisions for vehicles registered else where -

Mirror Laws by State (U.S.) - California - EcoModder]Mirror Laws by State (U.S.) - EcoModder
(a) Every motor vehicle registered in a foreign jurisdiction and every motorcycle subject to registration in this state shall be equipped with a mirror so located as to reflect to the driver a view of the highway for a distance of at least 200 feet to the rear of such vehicle.

Every motor vehicle subject to registration in this state, except a motorcycle, shall be equipped with not less than two such mirrors, including one affixed to the left-hand side.

A wiki for Europe would be nice But that would probably require A LOT of translating. 30+ countries with almost as many languages, try arguing with with the Polizei.

You can start with Poland . It really only matters to have it in the native languages,

I guess you're right, since trying to have your way with a police officer usually requires getting into the nuances of the wording of a certain law, and such nuances would be lost in translation. But stating the law in the native language and giving a rough interpretation in English would probably be the best way to go. (Can Ecomodder.com handle text in non-english languages, including language-specific letters, accents, etc.?)
I'll look into Polish law and see what I can find. And hopefully other Europeans (yes, I'm thinking about English, French, and few more ) will join in.

I'm pretty sure the wiki can do other languages. Go to ecomodder.com/wiki and just make a test page to be sure. If not I'll find out what I need to do to install language support.

I read Porsche is planning on replacing mirrors with cameras for the next 911. Don't know if that's Euro only or they'll somehow get a law changed to sell it (here's hoping they do in the US as well), but I imagine that would be an EU-wide allowance, then.
