My personal favorite is Nicaragua. Here's an example:
Reparto Serrano, de la Policía de Plaza del Sol 4 cuadras al Lago, Casa esquinera Managua, Nicaragua
Translation: Serrano Division. From the Policía de Plaza del Sol go four blocks towards the lake (which is North in Managua). Corner House. Managua, Nicaragua.
Absolutely crazy. No street names at all. Addresses are really directions from well-known places (except when it doesn't exist anymore - "de donde fue" : "from where there was.."). They use the old spanish unit 'vara' - 84 cm instead of the meter to specify houses within blocks. Up and down aren't north and south; they're where the sun goes up and down (east and west).
