About
Guess the Country By Looking at One Image refers to an image macro format on Reddit in which you are asked to guess the name of a country with only a given image, or sometimes a word, as the hint. The image or word is often stereotypical to one or more countries, and often purposefully offensive. The trend began in late August 2021, spreading to other platforms in the following days.
