You're very good at this, didn't expect someone to get it right away. I was expecting more germanic oriented guess as usual, but yeah it's not Slovenian but you got the Polish and south slavic part right

For me, the eyes and nose were a factor. The nose shape hinted as some Slavic ancestry. Your eyes have an almond shape to them, and I know quite a few Polish people with that eye shape. The south slavic factor, well, I thought about the fact that you have a more rectangular-shaped face instead of a somewhat round face.

Well, I guess you're just too good at this. People usually assume I'm Swedish or something. Anyway, well done , you're the man.

Haha, yeah it's not that easy . And it's hard to see the south slavic part in me, as I'm pale and blonde. You have to be an expert to guess . You still can guess which southern slavic country I am from.

I'm guessing between Croatian and Serbian... Slavs have distinct look apart from the Germanic, surprised the fact I would've say Dutch at first shot without knowing.

Congratulations, it's Serbian . Yeah, I thought it would take a bit longer to find out my ethnicity and that I would get a lot of northern european countries as a guess. But green_mariner is just too good
