Geography at the pixel level

The answer is a group of islands.
More properly "geography and language", I suppose.

Looks like
the different parts of the image correspond to Geographical areas encoded with different methods. Here are a few decoded for a start:
For example, 4d 65 64 65 6c 70 61 64 is for Medelpad in ASCII
Nagaland is written with cyrillic letters
Saarland encoded with flags
Demerara as puzzle pieces
Interestingly,
every set seems to have 8 letters, at least for the ones that I've solved so far
Based on the observation of @PilsNot3,
these fit in 8 categories, having 4 entries each:
$ quad bullet $ Mountains: WATZMANN, WARUSAWA, WELIRANG, WOODRING
$ quad bullet $ Lakes: VICTORIA, TITICACA, WINNIPEG, MICHIGAN
$ quad bullet $ Capital cities: MONROVIA, CANBERRA, FUNAFUTI, KINGSTON
$ quad bullet $ Languages: MOLDOVAN, MANDINKA, MANDARIN, SINDARIN.
$ quad bullet $ Forests: SHERWOOD, SIHLWALD, EYREWELL, GISHWATI
$ quad bullet $ Countries/sovereign states: THAILAND, SURINAME, BOTSWANA, KIRIBATI
$ quad bullet $ Rivers: GODAVARI, RIO NEGRO, MISSOURI, DEMERARA
$ quad bullet $ Provinces/territories: MEDELPAD, NAGALAND, SAARLAND, BELGOROD
Inside each category all the entries have a common letter in the same position, and no letter position is the same between any two categories. These letters spell out WINDWARD, which refers to the Windward Islands.

The katakana one (20) looks to me as if it says "ma so da ri so" which I can't identify.

ma-so-da-ri-so seems two be 2 characters too long, so probably 'so' needs to be replaced with a single character. mandarin looks like a good solution, but how is that geographical?

8.
SURIBAME(?) (Taiwanese Mandarin Zhuyin) -> I think this one should be SURINAME, but the N character is kinda wonky...
29.
SINDARIN (very pixelated letters)
(Will add more as I figure them out)
As for the meta, I have found that
every geographic location can fit into one of eight categories, with each category having four locations - somewhat like a connect wall. I’ve listed the categories here, along with the locations and the regions they represent:
$ quad bullet $ Mountains: WATZMANN (German), WARUSAWA (Japan), WELIRANG (Indonesia), WOODRING (United States)
$ quad bullet $ Lakes: VICTORIA (Tanzania/Uganda), TITICACA (Peru/Bolivia), WINNIPEG (Canada), ???
$ quad bullet $ Forests: SHERWOOD (England), SIHLWALD (Switzerland), EYREWELL (New Zealand), GISHWATI (Rwanda)
$ quad bullet $ Provinces/territories: MEDELPAD (Sweden), NAGALAND (India), SAARLAND (Germany), DEMERARA (Guyana)
$ quad bullet $ Countries/sovereign states: THAILAND (Asia), SURINAME (South America), BOTSWANA (Africa), KIRIBATI (Micronesia/Oceania)
$ quad bullet $ Rivers: GODAVARI (India), RIO NEGRO (Brazil/Venezuela/Colombia), MISSOURI (United States), ???
$ quad bullet $ Capital cities: MONROVIA (Liberia), CANBERRA (Australia), FUNAFUTI (Tuvalu), ???
$ quad bullet $ Languages: MOLDOVAN (Moldova), MANDINKA (Ivory Coast), MANDARIN (China), SINDARIN (fictional/Middle-earth)
So the three unsolved clues must fit into one of three categories: lakes, rivers, and capital cities. Maybe that’ll make things a bit easier?
I’ll add this to the community wiki once the other three clues are solved.

Some more:
14.
Rio Negro (every row is shifted to the right one pixel further)
17.
Michigan (in Shavian alphabet)
31.
Gishwati (every row has one pixel, number of pixel corresponds to alphabet number)
Additionally, regarding the final answer,
I think that after all the eight-letter words are discovered, we'll find that there's exactly one letter for each of the 8 positions that doesn't occur in any of the words.

I don't think your guess about the final extraction can be right. E.g., the last letters so far are all ADIGLNO and only eight answers are un-found, so there's no way to eliminate all but one of the possibilities.

A guess at the final answer based on the clues everyone else solved and Gareth McCaughan's predicted method:
So far taking the most common letter in each position gives:
MINDWANA
That's not an island group, but if we look at the second most common letters:
WARRIORD
So if the missing answers allow the second placed letter to overtake the current leader in positions 1, 7, and 8, we get:
WINDWARDfor the Windward Islands.

#26
is Kingston in the Deseret alphabet.
#30
is Belgorod. Start at the beginning of the alphabet. For each arrow, add an offset. Upwards arrows go forward in the alphabet, downward arrows go backwards: start + 2 → B + 3 → E + 7 → L and so on.

Some more:
4. Titicaca (Arabic)
12. Godavari (tap code)
22. Eyrewell (inverse binary)
25. Funafuti (futhark)
28. Kiribati (Hebrew)
32. Missouri (Greek)
Other remarks:
The katakana one (20) looks to me as if it says "ma so da ri so" which I can't identify.

ma-so-da-ri-so seems two be 2 characters too long, so probably 'so' needs to be replaced with a single character. mandarin looks like a good solution, but how is that geographical?

Ech, I redrew that letter in #20 so many times and now that I look at it it still looks wrong... Mandarin is correct.

SURIBAME(?) (Taiwanese Mandarin Zhuyin) -> I think this one should be SURINAME, but the N character is kinda wonky...
29.
SINDARIN (very pixelated letters)
(Will add more as I figure them out)
As for the meta, I have found that
every geographic location can fit into one of eight categories, with each category having four locations - somewhat like a connect wall. I’ve listed the categories here, along with the locations and the regions they represent:
$ quad bullet $ Mountains: WATZMANN (German), WARUSAWA (Japan), WELIRANG (Indonesia), WOODRING (United States)
$ quad bullet $ Lakes: VICTORIA (Tanzania/Uganda), TITICACA (Peru/Bolivia), WINNIPEG (Canada), ???
$ quad bullet $ Forests: SHERWOOD (England), SIHLWALD (Switzerland), EYREWELL (New Zealand), GISHWATI (Rwanda)
$ quad bullet $ Provinces/territories: MEDELPAD (Sweden), NAGALAND (India), SAARLAND (Germany), DEMERARA (Guyana)
$ quad bullet $ Countries/sovereign states: THAILAND (Asia), SURINAME (South America), BOTSWANA (Africa), KIRIBATI (Micronesia/Oceania)
$ quad bullet $ Rivers: GODAVARI (India), RIO NEGRO (Brazil/Venezuela/Colombia), MISSOURI (United States), ???
$ quad bullet $ Capital cities: MONROVIA (Liberia), CANBERRA (Australia), FUNAFUTI (Tuvalu), ???
$ quad bullet $ Languages: MOLDOVAN (Moldova), MANDINKA (Ivory Coast), MANDARIN (China), SINDARIN (fictional/Middle-earth)
So the three unsolved clues must fit into one of three categories: lakes, rivers, and capital cities. Maybe that’ll make things a bit easier?
I’ll add this to the community wiki once the other three clues are solved.

Some more:
14.
Rio Negro (every row is shifted to the right one pixel further)
17.
Michigan (in Shavian alphabet)
31.
Gishwati (every row has one pixel, number of pixel corresponds to alphabet number)
Additionally, regarding the final answer,
I think that after all the eight-letter words are discovered, we'll find that there's exactly one letter for each of the 8 positions that doesn't occur in any of the words.

I don't think your guess about the final extraction can be right. E.g., the last letters so far are all ADIGLNO and only eight answers are un-found, so there's no way to eliminate all but one of the possibilities.

A guess at the final answer based on the clues everyone else solved and Gareth McCaughan's predicted method:
So far taking the most common letter in each position gives:
MINDWANA
That's not an island group, but if we look at the second most common letters:
WARRIORD
So if the missing answers allow the second placed letter to overtake the current leader in positions 1, 7, and 8, we get:
WINDWARDfor the Windward Islands.

#26
is Kingston in the Deseret alphabet.
#30
is Belgorod. Start at the beginning of the alphabet. For each arrow, add an offset. Upwards arrows go forward in the alphabet, downward arrows go backwards: start + 2 → B + 3 → E + 7 → L and so on.

I'll just take a moment to appreciate how cleverly made these puzzles are. @jafe you are ingenious. I wonder what you'll do seven puzzles later when you reach your 200th! :D

This is an amazing puzzle - so much packed into so little. You've got a real gift for puzzlecraft and presentation. If you're not publishing somewhere, you should be :)
