By this I mean:

- Britain/Ireland
- Germany
- Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania
- Russia

?

Swedes do not look as distinctly western as Norwegians for instance.

Northeast Romania, because many descend from Slavicized and then Vlachized early medieval East Germanics

It is a good question. And I think % wise there is not much difference between those populations in their comparison to Swedes. But probably Germans pass better due to their blondness. Consider these average faces for northern and central europe:

Germany has different regions that look different, just like England, I observed a lot of Nordic looking English people in London.

If it were not for the blondness I think Brits would pass as well as Germans in Sweden. The Swedish face/head shape is the same as the British, not like the slightly wider German face (to generalise).

Germany.

No way for Britian/Ireland. They are mostly of the Celtic or pre-Indo-European Neolithic type. When I went to England many years back I found some Celtic types (the typical freckled and ruddy "Ginger") or the medium brunette-type (brown hair and brown eyes). I sometimes saw stunning English women of the north Atlandid type (dark hair and sharp blue eyes - think Megan Fox or Jennifer Connelly). However, I rarely saw a Nordic type there.

Many Latvians and Lithuanians can pass off for Nordic. Some Russians can too.
