post people whose nationality you can tell immediately just by looking at them

Trun, especially the middle guy could very easily be Serbian. The woman I agree looks very Bulgarian. I think you could find better examples. For example Archduke I would never mistake him for anything but a Bulgarian.

Archduke can easily by Armenian, Georgian or Pontic Greek.

Maybe I'm just unfamiliar with them but I strongly disagree on that. I think I could be more easily Georgian than Archduke, as to Armenian/Pontic Greek I don't see it. Something about him looks very Med combined with slavic. I see both in him, in a way not usually for any south slav and obviously no one else.

All of the people in these two photos I wouldn't guess as other than southern Italian:

You look too western for a Georgian. Not that Archduke looks Georgian too but I think he can pass.

Anyway, when picking the examples I searched for very typical Bulgarian faces, apparently they can also pass in Romania and Serbia but I would guess them as Bulgarians before anything else, no matter where I see them.

SvenDC is also an example of somebody I would guess for Bulgarian no matter where I see him.

I think ur problem is you live in Bulgaria. You're surrounded by Bulgarians, so you pick the most common face. However the most common face is not always the most easily distinguishable. You appreciate this when you live abroad surrounded by many different nationalities. I picked Karadzic, not because he is a common face (far from it) but because he can only be Serbian and no one else. Not a Bulgarian. Not an Albanian. Not a Croat.

I guess I see what you mean.

As for Karadzhic I agree he looks very Serbian (maybe more typical for the west than the east) but I sure I'd take him for Bulgarian if I see him in Bulgaria. So it is a bit complicated.
