I reckon I am *pretty good* at guessing country of origin. I have spent a lot of time in international (esp student) communities. Partly I pick accents and mannerisms, but also physical features. The tall, broad blonde? Swedish. The tall thin blonde? Lithuanian (and correctly guessing that might well have got me laid! Chick was crazy, tho, so I bailed). Looks Italian, sounds Slavic? Romanian. Smells like cheese and onions? French if it is their breath, English if it is their feet...

But yeah, there is so much mixing, both historically and especially presently, that these are never more than guesses.
