Who goes first?

I wonder if this driving rule is universal. When there’s a 4-way stop, who goes first when you all get there at the same time, or at least more than one? In California, the person on my right goes first, so if I’m driving west, the person heading south goes first, but I go before the person heading north. The person heading east doesn’t matter unless he’s making a left turn, in which case I’d get to go before him/her because a left turner never has the right-of-way unless directed by an arrow (at least in California). A lot of people don’t know the rule on this and seem to think they’re #1 because they’re special. A lot of driving laws are regional I imagine. I know of one – in Texas one can’t make a right turn against a red light. In California one can do so unless there’s a sign saying “no right turn on red.” This discussion is mostly about 4-way stops…who goes first where you live? This applies to Australia, Philippines, Canada, wherever you live.
