Matt Busch map seen above discussed here.
Apparently, we didn't have a single generalist thread on this up until now.
Closest we came was an excellent thread, "Hey, Lucas & Spielberg here are some locations!", started by Indy's brother, but that was more about posting images of stunning locations suitable for the screen. Some similar material shows up in Indy 5 visual wish list, particularly later on.
As usual, a review of other existing materials:
Monkey King: Strip it for parts? - a pet thread of mine, advocating a little for a haunted house, maybe in east Asia, and advocating <I>a lot</I> for Africa.
Idea for a snow bound Indy 5 - an early essential thread digging into snowy and icy types of environment, with, as I recall, discussion of Russian, Alpine, Scandinavian, and Chinese possibilities.
Indy V is in China??? - a relatively deep dive on China as a possibility, with some consideration of the political reality both then and now, which also begets some posts on Australia and Oceania.
Your Wish Locations for Indy 5 - a thread that didn't quite get traction but which does mention a few places.
Hitchcockian Indy V - apart from discussion of some geographic options, this is mainly relevant as its a discussion of vehicle-as-place, most specifically a train.
I think the only "Frontier" left for INdy V HAS to be an [Asian one] - as you'd guess, makes the case for a return to Asia as a natural next step, but also brings in some other possibilities.
Some casting/character threads touch on this issue too, but maybe we'll look at those further down the line.
The Globetrotting Indiana Jones? - finally, some obligatory pushback on how integral to the concept going to multiple countries is.

Any poll has its own biases, but I've tried to weight this one towards broad swaths of the globe that haven't yet been included in any of the four films. Maybe vote for 3 each? Let me know if there's anything glaringly missing here.
It's more complicated than this, but I think there might be 2 primary considerations involved here, apart from any production considerations:
-What's an environment we haven't seen before?
-What's a culture we haven't seen before?
What do you want to see?
