As someone who speaks the language, people from Skopje are generally busy and on the run. They're not as "warm" as those from other villages. They are also kind of stuck up and claim their language is the true language, and undermine the other dialects. I'm just trying to convey that there's so much more to Macedonia than just Skopje.

The Montreal Hotel de Ville has a tall peaked roof like a French Chateau and beautiful stone walls. By contrast, Ontario traditional architecture is mostly....awful. Canadian Gothic is quite nice, although it looks pretty much like American Carpenter Gothic. But where American vernacular domestic architecture follows a parade of styles from Colonial to Federalist to Greek Revival to Gothic to a variety of Victorian styles (Italianate to Queen Anne) to Craftsman to Deco and midcentury, it's hard to pin a Canadian building to any specific period.The pricey Annex in Toronto is vaguely Edwardian/slash/Craftsman but other than that the buildings seem to follow no aesthetic schemes or eras whatsoever. Even a lot of contemporary Canadian design is just wretched--look at the horrific new homes on House Hunters or Love it or List it on HGTV. Why not put an arched single light window here and a few rectangular windows there, and maybe some random vertical panels here? In part that may be because while American contemporary houses harken back to earlier styles, if a country doesn't have any of those antecedents, there's no model to follow for guidance. This commentary mostly applies to Ontario. I've never been out west.

@@WinstonSmithGPT I’ve been to Alberta. It’s not interesting, architecturally. I don’t think Canada has as interesting of a cultural history as the US, though, and that probably has a lot to do with it. The land is beautiful, though.

[@Luis-fd2bi]

It makes perfect sense. He’s saying that Indonesia is a big yet very similar place. And that the western part of Europe he was talking about is small, so it looks similar. It’s not interchangeable, just because something being small makes it similar doesn’t mean that the sountriy not being small makes it different, that’s not how logic works. Although it is a somewhat common mistake.

[@ericktellez7632]

Europe is insanely small and it’s shocking because they kept themselves centered in the maps using a projection that makes them bigger when you actually see how small they are it’s like whiplash, i can drive for 10 hours in a straight line and not leave my state let alone enter another country’s borders

Finally, something that i doing better than Rainbolt. But mostly because i'm indonesian and only play indonesia's map. Each region in Indonesia has its own characteristics but it is quite difficult for non-Indonesians to distinguish them. such as government buildings whose designs are different in each province, unique means of transportation that can only be found in certain areas (such as Bentor in North Sumatra and Riau), shops that always display addresses, cigarette brands that can only be found in certain areas, the way people -people's general clothing, the shape of the rubbish bin, the width of the road and the general condition of the surroundings

Personally, I think Philippines is on top of the hard category just because it's an archipelago and each island can have different and unique characteristics. In a point system that is geoguesser, however, it is fairly easy to score since it's a small country and points are based off of the distance between guesses and the exact location.
