Some areas I've looked into; Cultural exams for other countries in media, and Cultural exams in the UK for media other than video games.
Just some notes:
UK
Film - The games test is based off of the film one. Which is actually based off the French version. There are 4 sections (cultural content, cultural contribution, cultural hub cultural practitioners), and you must get 16/31 points to qualify as a "British film".
Animation Television Program - Same as above.
High-End Television Program - Same as above.
Found on Wikipedia, but has no reference/citation: "The BBC has stated that in ordre for a series in the United Kingdom to be classed as a 'series', it must conform to the following requirments;
- It must have at least 14 episodes per year
- It must have been produced in the UK
- Must be aired on British television
FRANCE
Film - To be eligable, projects must include elements related to French culture, heritage or territory. Eligibility is based on a cultural test, which assesses the relativity of the story, locations, characters, sources, landmarks, creators, crew and technical hubs.
RUSSIA
Video games - "Russian government to fund 'patrotic' games while titles that 'distort' history could be banned in the country. Aide to Russia's culture minister says video games must be "conducive to patriotic education"."
JAPAN
Personal Notes: Products of Japanese games are so evident. They are truly recognizable as a "Japanese game". J-RPG, their art style, characters characteristics (gestures, over exaggerations), rich music, inclusion of Japanese culture in the games.
USA
Films: US Congress created the National Film Registry program in 1989 to preserve films for their cultural or historical significance. The latest additions bring the registry to 600 films that include Hollywood features, documentaries, independent films and early experimental flicks.
Personal Notes: Darker, grittier in visuals. War games. Strong links to the US Army.

I'm trying to think what's the best way to approach a structure with this. I'm starting to stray off from my first draft Question (basically arguing against the Culture Test, especially section A2 defining characters?) so I need to really fix up these notes into an argument. I feel like I'm missing something big here, by accident. Hoping to go through these notes with Dayna G. as soon as possible, before my area of research becomes either too muddy or grows beyond what I can do in my time limits.
