    Somehow I can tell it it’s a room in a USian or canadian house, not sure why exactly though. Maybe it’s the closets, door styles, the carpet, or how they paint their walls. Windows, outlets and door knobs are a dead giveaway.

      It’s the unpainted walls because why bother if you can’t afford it and your landlord will soft-evict you by doubling rent in a year?

        It’s definitely painted, otherwise you’d see the cardboard drywall, maybe it’s the choice of colour.

      US: pastel colours, gaudy ceiling furniture, furniture the colour of the walls, tacky metal frames sprayed with gold, needless 6-panelled doors, walk-in closet.

      If this was UK: white walls + cheap spotlights that point nowhere, wood-coloured furniture, tacky metal frames but thinner and black, smaller doors with stupid handles, no closet.

      If this was Germany: white walls + no ceiling fixtures, cheap but wooden furniture, tacky metal frames but strong for some reason, clearly framed doors, wide light switches for household pets, no closet.

            It’s a particular shade of paint. It’s widespread enough in the UK that multiple brands do their own version of Magnolia. It’s often what’s used when people don’t want to have to decide what colour to paint, or in council housing, and it’s increasingly common in private rentals.

              If you can’t answer the question, then the criteria for citizenship is highly dubious
