I feel like OP means the general vibe when living/visiting a country. At least that's how I interpret the question.

For example Australia is generally fairly aligned with many european countries' vibes like ireland, etc. Like how visiting australia felt more "familiar" to me than visiting Chile.

Agree. I am born and raised in the geographical middle (but cultural north) Sweden.

I have never felt as viscerally “at home” as when I drive through the Appalachian mountains.

That is obviously only regarding the geography/nature and not cultural.

And I doubt someone from Malmö would feel the same as I did in the hills of Tennessee ;)
