Depending on where we grow up, we know different things, and our knowledge can make it surprisingly easy to determine where we’re from.
You may not think that a slight detail in your recollection could reflect something like your nationality, but it certainly can to a person with the right knowledge!
That’s the basis of today’s What Nationality Are You Based on Your General Knowledge quiz. We’re going to ask you some seemingly incongruous questions that we will then use to determine what nationality you are.
We won’t promise that we’ll get it right, but we’ll take our best shot at guessing the country that you’re from.
