Where can I find the transition altitude in different countries or regions?

Hoping to cover as many places as possible. Links to the applicable regulations would be nice.

What is the difference between "flight level" and "altitude"?
Where can I find regulations in different countries for flight level rules based on direction of flight?

EDIT: Instead of request a list, now the question asks for how to find in general. A few examples should still be given though.

    It looks like you're looking for a list, which is a reason to close IIRC. – raptortech97 Apr 02 '15 at 20:41
  • @raptortech97 it's also marked as community wiki, I'm not sure how that's handled. – falstro Apr 02 '15 at 20:42
  • @raptortech97 I believe lists are generally bad if they are subjective, but there is a finite and defined set of information requested here. I hope it will work but that can be up for discussion. – fooot Apr 02 '15 at 20:51
  • @fooot I thought remembered questions that asked for plain lists were not allowed, but I can't find any reference or evidence for that. And if there's no source out there already, the answer's helpful to the internet in general. I suppose the only concern is that there's no clear stopping point, and too many countries to find information for all of them. But I suppose people can just keep adding to a CW answer, so that seems reasonable. Hmm... – raptortech97 Apr 02 '15 at 21:01

    A Google search would be a good place to start with your research. – Ralph J Apr 02 '15 at 23:33

    @RalphJ There are a lot of instances that mention various places, but usually not authoritative or extensive. – fooot Apr 03 '15 at 00:24

    @RalphJ I could not find good references on this topic searching on Google. This list will probably not cover all countries, but can grow to be extensive. – Farhan Apr 03 '15 at 14:35

    I don't think it can, or should be not too broad. There appears to be no 'one list' findable on the Interwebz. We can make one. The more countries, the better. At least we're not duplicating wikipedia... – CGCampbell Apr 03 '15 at 21:46
  • @CGCampbell I kinda agree, there should be a Community Wiki answer. – Danny Beckett Apr 04 '15 at 04:02
