Definitely not the US jfl.

I picked Norway because of the architectural style and urban design, as well as the climate and geographical terrain in some of the photos. It could very well be Sweden too however.

Why not?

What about the architecture, climate and geographical terrain?

I've been living in the US for 10 years and not once have I ever seen a neighborhood that looked like that.

First of all, this nation seems wealthy, and seems to have very cold, snowy winters. This automatically rules out Mongolia, New Zealand, and the UK.

Secondly, this country seems to have plenty of vegetation, with a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees, which would eliminate Greenland.

The houses, especially in the 3rd to last pic, look very Scandinavian because of the vertical timber cladding (to which there goes Japan, because most modern Japanese single-family home use a special earthquake-resistant material), plaster exteriors (US and Canada out), non-sagittally facing gable roofing, the type of roof tiles, the style of the chimneys, and the color of the houses. Furthermore, most houses in the US have fences, while the neighborhoods here lack them, which is a common occurrence in Scandi countries. These houses also seem relatively new and well-put, which is not something Russia is known for, so there goes Russia.

Aside from the houses, the asphalt sidewalks, fire hydrant shapes, and the types of cars on the driveways look very European too.

The only reason I picked Norway over Sweden was because of a hunch tbh. The picture with the snowy river is very reminiscent of the Troms og Finnmark fylke region of Norway, which borders Russia.

But now that I did a reverse search:

Sweden.

Fuaaark.

I think it's japan because they've got a similar climate to my country and love my culture, and the pictures look inspired by it.

What's the climate like in your country, anything similar to the UK? (cool and damp)

we're both temperate oceanic climates.

mild winters, mild summers.

that includes the UK as well.

This climate also prevails in the northern United States/southern Canada, as well as Eastern Europe.

This is actually a fairly rare climate, also found in a few slivers of Eastern Europe, as well as the southern states of the American Midwest.

Southern Portugal (Algarve), Southern Spain (Andalucia, Almeria, Murcia), Southern Italy (Sicilia, Calabria) and Southern Greece.

@Beastimmung @Arborist These photos were taken in an area with a continental (Dfb) climate.

I don't know what that is but I thought it was already revealed that it was Sweden?

Does ethnicity and cold tolerance correlate?
yes, nordics are build to withstand the cold, hence our lip, nostril, nose and eye shape.

hard guess in that case.

I wonder if that's why I have less tolerance to the cold compared to Mum and white people in general, but not as extreme as black or full brown people.

If we take the midpoints of my mum's and dad's main ancestral areas, the midpoint falls within an area with a subtropical climate (Istanbul, Turkey).

I'm wearing a tank top outdoors as soon as it's above 15C because I start overheating, extremely poor heat tolerance.

are you good at swimming?

Meanwhile, I still wear a light jacket or a jumper when it's 15C.

Not the best tbh, but I can get on by. What about you?

extremely good at swimming, this is also partially genetic, people with african admixture have higher bone density, which makes them terrible at swimming hence why you see almost no dark-skinned men in the sport, for women the difference isn't as big so you sometimes see colored women though.

BMI is also calculated differently for them as a result.

Does this even take into account small African ancestry?

Gotcha
 
Thought it was Norway or Sweden before seeing the answer.

if you're unusually heavy for how you look it might very well be the case, I still have an enlarged spleen despite only being 10% austronesian, the trait just randomly got passed on.

the bone density is also why they do well in other sports, bodily proportions are also very genetic, the only people that have long torsos for example are concentrated around the baltic sea, or asia, but they're not quite as tall so they don't tend to be competitive in sports that favor it.

I'm 176cm, and since I lost some weight recently, 73kg. I've never dipped below this.

I also observed that I get tired out at marathon-style running, but do better when sprinting.
 
If yoy are on the country side in sweden every house is red. So it was obviously it was sweden

you're around 15% bodyfat right? if that's the case that's actually on the heavier side, I would not be surprised if you indeed have higher bone density and a predisposition towards fast-twitch fiber.

I've been told by my dad that I always looked solid, even when I was overweight and at my leanest, it showed.
