I've seen a California plate in a small town of 15,000 in Yorkshire, England - presumably a real one since the steering wheel was on the wrong side of the car for this country. God knows what it was doing there. I saw a Ferrari with Russian plates on it in London quite recently, pretty obviously Mafia. There must be a lot of haulage companies in the Netherlands because it's very common to see NL plates on long-distance trucks over here.
I forgot to say that you see almost all the Northeastern states here, but you see just as many from Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and others because of all the people from those states that vacation here.
Some weeks during the summer, it seems like it is Cincinnati or Cleveland South with all of the Ohio tags. I've seen local Cincinnati HS bumper stickers. I've also seen most of the counties in Georgia.
You don't see much west of Louisiana or Mississippi.
That's hard because I live in the middle of the country. Although its fun to see different plates because we don't get many visitors here. I think California is the furthest I have seen. Maybe a few Florida ones too.
I don't know if this was a joke, but at the WV State Fair this year, I walked by a truck with Hawaii Plates. It was parked in the lot just like everybody else.

There are plenty of cars driving around the lower 48 with Hawaii tags. Many of them are military folks I would think. I have seen Guam, American Samoa, Puerto Rico and USVI tags, too.
We see Alaska plates here all the time. I always attributed this to the oil and gas industry. Also not strange to see plates from various parts of Canada. Also see them from Hawaii occasionally, as well as American Samoa and Guam, but I'm sure that's because of Tinker Air Force Base being located here.
While living in Houston it I would occasionally see plates from various parts of Europe.
Saw a Vermont plate in California. I see quite a few Canadian tags on big rigs, but generally just for some of the western provinces directly north of here.
Tribal plates are not all that uncommon in certain states, like Oklahoma. Most of those are not from reservations, the tribes have tags available for their members who live in whatever part of the state the tribe calls home. The Cherokee for example have a 14-county area in their jurisdiction, so any tribal member who lives in one of those counties can get a tribal tag. I know at least five or six other tribes in the state have tags too.
When I was living in New Brunswick, Canada, I drove to San Salvador, El Salvador. When I got up in the morning, I saw the New Brunswick plate on my own car, and I guess that was it.
I live in NJ, but I was once visiting relatives in Maine and there was a car in front of me with a Hawaii license plate. I have no idea how that one happened! That's probably about as far a stretch between states as you can get, with a lot of water thrown in, too.
In NJ, Florida plates are very common. Lots of snowbirds.
From the northern end, we see Quebec plates. A lot of people from Montreal come to the Jersey shore in the summer.
I see quite a few FL plates here in MN in the summer time. Yup, snowbirds. Declare yourself a FL resident to escape MN's income tax but live here six months minus one day per year.
