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.
Unless there's a football match on, then they're literally fucking everywhere
And there's always a football match on...
Turkey also has lots of flags everywhere.
It probably only happens in some types of countries... Turkey, Russia, Hungary... USA...
DPRK also geta their dick super hard from their flag.
No kink shaming!
Mexico.. they have those really big ones
american geography is also aggressively diverse as well, it varies from ice in alaska, to the literal desert
Or ice in Minnesota to the literal desert, or ice in Massachusetts to the literal desert, or ice in the literal desert to the literal desert
comparing american lat to european lat is a rather interesting exercise, the majority of europes latitude is covered by america. We're quite the diverse climate region.
