Isn’t putting up flags an American thing too? Don’t really see this kind of nationalism in other coutnries.

I've seen it in just about every country I have visited physically and in Geoguessr. Maybe not quite as prevalent as the US but I wouldn't actually say the difference is as big as people probably think.

What's funny is that beyond knowing you're in America, the flag doesn't help a lot with location guessing. USA is one of the tougher countries to pinpoint within in GeoGuesser. It's probably harder to distinguish Vermont from Ohio from Oregon (depending on the photo) than it is to tell Albania from Austria even with no flags or signs.

Complete opposite of my experience. While you do see flags in other countries they are usually only at governme t buildings, it's rare to see people flying flags themselves. Whereas in America they are everywhere and also buildins will often have multiple. Like I went to a mall and the outside had at least a dozen flags on sides.

Turkey also has lots of flags everywhere.

It probably only happens in some types of countries... Turkey, Russia, Hungary... USA...
