1 Hour of Interesting Maps. This is a 1 hour compilation of my interesting maps videos, conveniently stitched together for your viewing pleasure. @JackSucksAtLife @JackSucksAtStuff @JackMasseyWelsh on JackSucksAtGeography we upload a range of easy to watch & sometimes educational geography related content. I have successfully learned all 197 countries and flags of the world. I also look at interesting maps to teach us more about different parts of the world and their culture. On this channel I also play Geoguessr. video edited by: https://instagram.com/kairossbest instagram: https://instagram.com/jackmasseywelsh my subreddit: https://reddit.com/r/jacksucksatlife/ tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jackmasseyw twitter: https://twitter.com/jackmasseywelsh business email: jack @ skycade . net

One hour of interesting maps
0:01
Great Britain, UK and the British Isles. Okay, so if you're talking about Scotland, England and Wales, that is apparently Great Britain
0:07
But if you're talking about Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland, that is the United Kingdom
0:13
Which is quite ironic considering most of Ireland did not want to be united with the rest of Great Britain
0:19
But if you're talking about Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, that is the British Isles
0:25
Yeah, that is definitely confusing. 2024 is a worldwide election year. It has just happened to line up that there are 64 different countries in the world that all have a national election this year
0:35
Perhaps this is a real opportunity for some actual positive global change
0:39
Probably not, though. The size of the Roman Empire at its height compared to the United States
0:43
That's actually quite interesting to see. So yeah, Roman Empire at its height basically covered all of the countries surrounding the Mediterranean
0:49
And in terms of scale, that's pretty much the size of the entirety of the United States of America
0:53
Which is rather large, yeah, they really knew what they were doing. Countries that drive on the left versus driving on the right
0:58
So 69% of the world drives on the right, which is a lot. That's 165 countries
1:03
The UK really is doing its own thing here when you look at the rest of Europe. Why don't we just switch to driving on the right like everyone else
1:08
What's the worst that could happen? I'm sure that wouldn't cause absolute carnage. Poverty in South America
1:13
This one's actually really sad, because normally when you see a poverty map, when there's a 10-year difference, the amount of poverty's generally gone down
1:19
But in this case, in South America, it's actually gone up. And that's in every single country, some of which particularly bad
1:26
Like, Argentina, it's gone from 4% to 36%. What are people saying
1:30
What's the reason for this? Okay, obviously, there are tons of reasons, but COVID was a big one
1:34
Apparently, inflation in the US also caused problems to developing countries, and lots and lots of other things, but hopefully things improve soon
1:42
The world 250 million years from now. Oh, this is an enhanced, enhanced
1:47
Well, it turns out it's not really great quality for an enhanced, enhanced. But either way, the continents will all have squished about
1:52
and Paris and London will technically be connected. Not that there will be a London and Paris in 250 million years
1:59
Cairo, Moscow, they're just side-by-side capitals. That's crazy. Tokyo, we can actually still see remnants of the shape of Japan there, I think
2:06
But it is completely squashed into the rest of China, as has Australia too
2:10
And Antarctica not looking that chilly anymore. That's crazy, isn't it? Will there still be humans in 250 million years
2:16
Presumably not. I mean, I guess there might be somewhere else in space at that point. But that's so far in the future that would they still be classed as humans
2:22
I don't know. Stop asking me. I can't answer these questions. Foreign cuisines that tend to be popular
2:28
Italy taking Europe by storm. Apparently in United Kingdom, Indian is the number one, which is interesting
2:35
I mean, yeah, I do really like having an Indian takeaway, but my go-to cuisine would definitely be Italian
2:39
Oh, it's just delicious. Is that Suriname over in what? Belgium? I did not say that, Cullen
2:44
Comparing US states to entire countries by GDP. Oh my God. So this is saying that just Texas has a GDP equivalent
2:52
to the entirety of Canada, 1.73 trillion. And just California has a GDP, $2.8 trillion, which is equal to the United Kingdom
3:01
This is absolutely crazy. Even smaller states like Wyoming have GDPs equal to Singapore, which is like a pretty strong economy
3:09
$300 billion. My God. Then following a similar theme, these three regions make up 50% of world GDP
3:15
So that's England, a bunch of Europe, less than half of the USA, a teeny bit of China, and half of Japan
3:20
That is a lot of global power to hold considering how many people live in these grey areas
3:25
Most common immigrant in Germany. Wow, what a beautifully detailed map. We've got a lot of regions here
3:30
You can see that generally it's dominated by Turkish immigrants. Also a few Russian, a couple of Ukraine
3:35
We've got USA in this region, which is interesting. And then quite a lot of Vietnam too
3:39
Can we get some info in the comments? Unsurprisingly, the region for the cluster of Americans is because of US military bases
3:45
And the reason for lots of Turkish migrants in Germany is because they were encouraged into the country due to a shortage of manpower
3:52
And understandably, over time, people have settled and started families, etc. Map of nicknames for states and provinces in USA and Canada
3:59
Ooh, this is a pretty looking map. Enhance, enhance. Oh, that's delightful. We've got drawings of polar bears and everything
4:05
Northwest Territory is a nickname, Land of the Polar Bear. Inuit Territory is nicknamed Our Land, which is nice, isn't it
4:10
Now, let's scroll down into the US. The Golden State, that's California
4:15
Oh, Pelican State, which is that? Is that Louisiana? Yes, it is. I can see the text
4:19
I saw a pelican try and eat a child once in Australia. It was unreal
4:23
Oh, okay. New York is nicknamed the Empire State. That makes a lot of sense, actually
4:27
I see what they did there. Jewish population in Europe, 1933 compared to 2015
4:34
So nearly 100 years later, Jewish population hasn't even remotely recovered from the impact of the Holocaust
4:40
That is so, so sad. And it's not just the Holocaust, of course. I think there's been lots of other factors over the years
4:45
But that is crazy how low the numbers still are. Favourite vacation countries? Based on the most common country, people stay out for leisure
4:52
So United Kingdom, that's Spain. That aligns with me. I've been to, I think, three different Spanish holidays
4:58
Interestingly, people in France holiday in France, which is quite nice, isn't it
5:03
A lot of these countries near Greece holiday in Greece, which makes a lot of sense
5:07
Turkey's another country that prefer to holiday in Turkey. Thinking about it, if my own country's up for grabs, then I have holidayed in the UK way more than I've holidayed in Spain
5:15
How many wolves are there in European countries? This is a cool looking map
5:20
Look at this big wolf down here. So there are now zero wolves in the British Isles
5:23
That's a shame. Although I don't think my dog Kong would like them. There's still 70,000 in Russia, which is epic, isn't it
5:29
And 7,000 in Turkey, which I wouldn't have thought of. There's actually way more in the rest of Europe than I ever would have anticipated
5:35
I genuinely would have only expected within Europe them to be like quite a few up in the north
5:39
like Siberia and stuff. But they're bloody everywhere. You can't move for wolves. A map of European supermarkets
5:45
Right, here we go. There are littles over basically everywhere in Europe
5:48
There is an Auchan in a lot of countries, but not the UK, hence why I've not heard of them
5:52
Same with Maxima. Villa, not really getting anywhere. Metro, I have not heard of, but you can see they're dominating a lot of Europe
6:00
Kaufland with a name like that, you expect them to be in Germany. Tesco! Tesco
6:04
Tesco not actually got that much control over Europe, but they are my go-to, so I got a bit excited there
6:10
Then we've got Kaufhammer and Aldi. I've been quite a few oldies in my time, but I'm definitely a Tesco boy
6:15
The largest generation in every European country, Europe has the oldest population in the world
6:20
This is really interesting to see. Most people in this continent were born between 1944 and 1964
6:25
because people are just living for a long time these days and people are starting to have less kids and stuff
6:30
I mean, when you see this data, it starts to explain why things like getting on the property ladder are so difficult
6:36
These days, for people in the UK, the best chance they've got at getting a house is inheriting one, which is just a really depressing reality
6:43
Countries which have capybaras. They're capybaras, right? So lots of countries have them in..
6:47
Look at that one stretched over Russia. Lots of countries have them in zoos
6:51
A lot of Africa doesn't have any capybaras anywhere. But in South America, there's still actually a few in the wild
6:56
which I'm guessing is that's because that's where they're native to. I actually thought they were native to Australia
7:00
Yeah, they're from South America. I'm totally... I was sure of that. I think I just saw them in a zoo in Australia and I may be getting confused
7:07
Nearly half of Americans will have obesity by 2030. I can't look at a map of the USA anymore without seeing that stupid fella holding the fried chicken
7:15
Ongoing civil wars. So since 1991 there has been a civil war in Somalia and also in Syria Mali Central African Republic Yemen Ethiopia Myanmar and Sudan And I knew about basically none of them There are people just out there fighting or living unsafely And we just going about our business It really quite sad to think about
7:36
Whoa, 1 billion years of plate tectonics. That's a moving one. Oh, this is so satisfied
7:41
All right. It has been 200 million years ago at this point. And I don't really recognize anything yet
7:47
Oh my God, this is unreal. Oh, here we go. Yep, I can see India just drifted from..
7:51
Oh, it's reset. It was just getting good. We're gonna watch india drift from the rest of there. It is that's india and then america's down here and it's it's going
7:59
And it's getting sucked into the rest of asia incredible most bizarre human world records
8:04
Ah, here we go. Is there any of these I could attempt fastest motorcycle driven blindfolded to 260 kilometers an hour
8:12
I'll leave that one most pubs visited in a day by one person 44 000. How do you do that in a day? Of course, that's the english record on the map further swim under ice
8:20
that was in the Netherlands. Most bizarre human diet. He ate 18 bikes and a plane. Right. The
8:28
oldest human was 122. That was in France. Longest time holding breath is 37 minutes. What? Longest
8:35
human nose is a fella in Turkey. Oh, there could be a lady in Turkey. It doesn't say. Tallest living
8:39
woman was in Turkey and tallest living man. Isn't that interesting? What's the science behind all
8:43
three of those records being in Turkey? Most spoiler console in every state. The Switch
8:48
dominates quite a bit as does bs5 and the xbox x are there any obscure ones anyway and yes is that
8:56
an xbox 360 no it's an xbox one which states that pennsylvania maybe no it's west virginia
9:01
pennsylvania is up there my assumption would be that people perhaps just have a bit less money
9:05
in west virginia compared to some of the other states so they just can't afford the latest
9:10
console and there's also ps4 down here as well which is probably the same kind of reason generally
9:14
they will be in groups which you can see has happened with the xbox x because people generally
9:17
gonna get the same console as their friends who are their neighbors and it just kind of spreads
9:22
where music artists are more popular in the us jean-se has a pretty good spread there taylor swift
9:27
that's really interesting how she sways over to the west you would think taylor swift perhaps
9:31
coming from a country background she'd be more popular in the south but i guess her music's maybe
9:35
shifted there are so many to go through here so i'll just click and you can pause because i'm not
9:40
gonna be able to get through all of these i can't talk something interesting about each one of these
9:44
Alright, there you go. How to say lion in the predominant language of each country
9:49
So in the United Kingdom, it is lion. In France, it is lion. In Spain, it is lion
9:53
In Portugal, it is Leo. In Italy, it's lion. In Norway, it's love
9:57
In Sweden, it's lion. In Finland, it's Leona. In Russian, it's Lev
10:01
In Belarus, it's Rev. In Poland, it's Lou. In Ukraine, it's Lev
10:05
In Turkey, it's Aslan. That's why he's called Aslan in Narnia. Countries visited by Queen Elizabeth II
10:11
I'll tell you what, she got about, didn't she? 117 total countries that is a crazy amount seatbelt laws in the us okay so in new hampshire you don't
10:20
have to wear a seatbelt why would that be a rule there's no reason to not just make it mandatory
10:24
it makes no difference to like your convenience or whatever what generally though in all of the states where it's green you could be ticketed for not wearing a seatbelt which obviously is what it
10:32
should be in the orange states though you can only be pulled over and ticketed if there is another
10:36
violation of the law that makes no sense what is the logic to that just put your seatbelt on man
10:41
Ending of place names in Poland. So up in the north of Poland, all of these red dots, there is a place that ends with a war
10:48
Whereas in the south of Poland, place names predominantly end with owl. That is some real geography and history right there
10:54
I don't understand any of it, but it's still interesting to look at. The world according to fish
10:59
Oh, that is incredible. Enhance, enhance. So seeing the world centered around the ocean
11:04
So we've got Antarctica in the middle. Then this massive area is the Pacific Ocean
11:09
Over here on the right, we've got the Atlantic Ocean. And that kind of shows you how much smaller the Atlantic Ocean is than the Pacific Ocean
11:16
And also, how much bigger the Indian Ocean is than you normally would assume
11:20
And all major rivers are included in this map as well. So, the Nile, for example
11:23
This is a beautiful map. World map, true proportioned continents. More weird map projections
11:29
So, this is the Mercado projection down in the bottom right. This is what you normally see on a world map
11:34
But this stretches and shrinks lots of different areas. So, this is apparently way more accurate
11:39
And you can see how much smaller things like Greenland and the top of Canada look compared to on the Mercator projection
11:45
Like, look at the size of Greenland. It literally takes up so much space
11:49
And this also shows us, just like the previous map, how much of the world is ocean compared to land
11:53
This video has been going viral on Twitter about lasting differences between East and West Germany
11:59
Yeah, I've seen maps like this before. There are so many different things within Germany that follow historic borders between the East and the West
12:07
Look at everything. trash, childcare, vaccinations, trailers, gender pay gap, graffiti, organs donated, they all follow
12:15
the same styles, it's crazy, Arab colonialism, so in the year 540, Middle East was basically just
12:22
where most of the Arabic population was, but these days, in 2022, Arabic people live in basically all
12:27
of Northern Africa, quite interesting to see Ethiopia doing its own thing there, I created a
12:32
map of Europe with cookies, why is it so good, that is so unbelievably accurate, oh I want to put
12:38
me mouth around it right now oh yeah look at that you must have done some delightful little stencils
12:43
and then you've lined it all up and oh it's beautiful you let yourself down on portugal
12:47
though actually the more i look there's no tectonic plates there you're not fooling anyone
12:51
us state mottos i always find it so cute how the us states and even towns and counties have like
12:56
designated animals and catchphrases and flags like we do that nowhere near to the same extent in the
13:02
uk california's state motto is eureka which means i have found it texas's state motto is friendship
13:09
well that's sweet isn't it under god the people rule equality before the law equal rights industry
13:16
all for our country union justice confidence in god we trust generally speaking rather positive
13:22
mottos whoa countries that have been under european control this is basically showing that
13:26
everywhere in the world has been in some way influenced by europe whether positively or
13:31
negatively. Green represents land that was colonized or controlled by Europe. That is awful
13:36
isn't it? It is so, so much of the world. Very few places that have never been impacted, such as
13:40
Japan and the Koreas and Myanmar. And then what's that little dinky fella in Africa? Uh, Liberia
13:46
Yes, Jack knows things. Literal names of countries. Ah, we are getting some incredible maps this
13:52
video. So, United States of America literally just means the United States of America, but Canada
13:58
apparently translates to the village, which is interesting because it's quite a bit larger than
14:03
a village. Mexico is in the navel of the moon. Then we've got lots of Caribbean countries. Saint
14:08
Lucia would be land of Saint Lucy. Makes sense. Land of the saviour is El Salvador. Land of many
14:14
trees, Guatemala. It's really interesting seeing where places got their names. What else have we
14:19
got? We've got South America. Uruguay meant river of shellfish. So basically what happens a lot of
14:24
time is entire countries just get named off what the person that first saw the land saw first so
14:31
chile being essentially the last bit of land to the west translates from where the land ends which
14:36
is really interesting and i know that venezuela means little venice because the person that first
14:42
discovered the land well the person that came from europe and discovered the land spotted little
14:46
houses built on the water that reminded him of venice norway means northern way sweden land of
14:52
the sphere finland just means land that interesting cyprus island of copper land of many rabbits spain did not see that coming i could look at those names all day but we need to move on Countries the Cold War divided and I don really know that much about the Cold War
15:06
other than like the big things. So I don't actually know why these countries were impacted
15:10
but it seems they've made some serious lasting effects. Things like North Korea and South Korea, and then West Germany and East Germany
15:16
Obviously, we've seen all of the impacts that have happened there. What are the European countries called Germany
15:20
So the UK called Germany, Germany. Germany calls Germany, Deutschland. Italy calls them Germania
15:25
France go with Allemange. Allemania. Allemania. Germania. Germania. Germania. Allemania. Nemesnia. Nemexnia
15:35
Nemesi. Nemeko. Nemeko. Nemetozog. Nemesija. Nishmaka. Nishmaka. Nishmaka. Voketia. Vakstia. Saxama
15:44
Saxa. Duska. I'm not even going to attempt that one. The world's top selling car brands
15:49
Okay, we have Volkswagen in Germany. Hyundai in Germany. spain what's uk i can't actually read it nissan all right fair enough volkswagen in ireland as
15:59
well the russian one i don't even recognize i'm not sure where that is got a lot of toyota over
16:03
in this part of europe tesla have switzerland which is interesting and bmw's only appearances
16:08
in belgium is your country singular or plural in polish that's one of the most difficult things
16:13
about learning new language having to remember things like plurals and masculine or feminine
16:18
oh it's a nightmare i don't know why he went with bananas for this representation but we can see
16:22
that generally everywhere in the polish language is defined as a singular country but italy germany
16:28
netherlands czechia and where's that it's hungry i've just remembered they're the only countries
16:33
that you have to say with a plural which i don't know polish so i don't quite know what that means
16:37
what's across the ocean from you i haven't seen this map in ages it's a really good one i always
16:42
forget that canada and the uk are level with each other it always feels like canada should be up
16:47
here and the uk should be a bit further down but europe is so much more northern than the americas
16:52
when you actually look at this, it's so interesting to look at. Maybe it's just me, but I kind of would
16:56
have always just assumed that Florida, for example, would be level with kind of Spain, United Kingdom
17:01
but Florida's mostly level with Morocco. Also quite interesting to see from the other side that
17:06
China and Mexico are level with each other. Same with Japan. Then we've got Australia level with
17:12
a big chunk of the middle of South America. Most popular city by country. So all of the green
17:18
countries in europe are countries where the capital city is the most populated city whereas
17:23
the three red countries are countries where the capital city is not most populated so for example
17:28
ankara is the capital of russia but istanbul is the most populated city the world 180 this requires
17:34
an enhance enhance the quality is too low i can't read any of the words but i guess generally it
17:39
means that these areas aren't really inhabited yet but that can't be great humans have been
17:43
kicking about for 200 000 years starting in this area but these are the only areas that are kind of
17:47
defined as countries or civilizations at this point in time. Help me date this globe found in
17:51
my new classroom. Is it a globe if it's not around? It's more of a map on a chest, really
17:56
isn't it? Go on then, let's see if myself, with my poor knowledge of history, can date this
18:00
All right, so Yugoslavia in Europe. I think that broke up in like 1991, maybe. Germany
18:05
Poland's kicking about. Scotland's not defined, but I'm guessing it existed. Africa's still called
18:10
French West Africa. We've got some other bits. I don't think it's that old. I am going to say
18:15
that this is from the 1980s, the middle of 1939. I really know my stuff
18:22
So Yugoslavia broke up 1992, which is one year out from what I said
18:26
But that's basically the only thing I used to take the map, which means it's any point older than 1992
18:30
But for some reason, I saw that as it must be around the same time. Oh, whatever
18:34
This is interesting. Usual name order in European countries. I did not know this
18:38
So most of Europe just has the first name and then that surname, you know, Jack Welsh
18:43
But in Hungary, you say the surname and then the first name like welsh jack in russia ukraine belarus you say the first name the father's
18:50
name and the surname is that just the norm in iceland it's first name then father's name as in
18:54
father's surname or father's first name and then does that change if you get married or whatever
18:58
spain first name plus father's surname plus mother's surname well it's good to see that the
19:02
mother gets a look in down in spain then portugal also has mother's surname but it has it before
19:08
father said this is crazy topography of indian subcontinent whoa look at that very large area
19:13
is completely flat in the north. So interesting to see how quickly
19:17
when the Himalayas turn up, the topography just goes crazy. I guess that's because the land that's now India
19:22
was originally attached to Africa and it slowly split off and worked its way over here
19:26
and then smashed into this tectonic plate, creating the Himalayas. But yeah, that's really cool to see
19:30
Europe's longest flights to each continent. Ah, this is interesting. So we could do a one-way flight
19:35
14 hours from London to South America, Chile. You could also go from Turkey to Mexico
19:41
from Netherlands to South Africa. that's mad. From Perth to London as well, and then from somewhere north of London, maybe Manchester
19:50
or something, you could get straight to Singapore. One flight, that's crazy. Most used apps to message
19:55
other in 2023. I'm personally a WhatsApp fella these days. Viper. Who uses Viper? Okay, a bunch
20:01
of the Balkans apparently. Telegrams, quite popular over in the east, and Messenger actually
20:06
kind of darting through the middle. Iceland doesn't live there. What's Iceland doing down there
20:11
European countries where voting is compulsory. So, more or less all of Europe, it isn't compulsory
20:16
In Switzerland, compulsory in certain areas. And then it is compulsory to vote once you're eligible in Russia, in Greece, Luxembourg, and Belgium
20:25
Is it a good thing to have compulsory voting? Because it is annoying in the UK when there's, like, issues that need sorting out
20:31
But then a bunch of people don't turn up to vote. And at the same time, I'm curious what the impact would be
20:35
It's probably better how it is, but you should just really encourage people to vote once they can
20:39
Europe divided by equal GDP. Okay, so there's six regions, and they all have basically the same collective economy size
20:48
So the blue is just four countries, Iceland, UK, Ireland, and Denmark
20:52
But these four countries are equal to GDP to basically the entirety of Eastern Europe
20:57
which is about 20 countries. And I assume it'd probably be pretty similar if it was just the UK
21:01
Oh, did not notice Germany. That's not even the entirety of Germany. They've got the biggest GDP on there
21:06
I didn't realize France's GDP was as big as that as well. Not even the entirety of France. Obviously we've got Netherlands and Belgium and Luxembourg shoved in
21:13
But yeah, I think what this map's showing is just how poor Eastern Europe currently is
21:17
People's reaction when you start speaking their language. Okay, so in English-speaking countries, if you as a foreigner start speaking English
21:25
it is so normalized that people aren't impressed at all. Over in countries like Germany, Sweden and Norway, the reaction is apparently
21:31
that's cute, but let's just speak English, shall we? A lot of the Southern European countries, the reaction is
21:36
You just said one word in my language and we're officially best friends forever now
21:40
It's cute, isn't it? I think it's really nice, particularly as an English person
21:44
It's really nice to make an effort to embrace other cultures and other languages
21:48
because those English people can just get away with making no effort at all. In a lot of northern Eastern Europe, the reaction is congrats
21:54
but why did you put yourself through this? Yeah, I've seen that things like Russian are very, very difficult to learn
21:59
and the French apparently do not want non-French people to speak French
22:03
According to this map, I'm sure there's exceptions. Countries where it is illegal to spank slash smack children
22:09
So apparently it is legal to spank your children in England? I did not know that
22:14
They passed a law in Wales to officially ban it starting 2022. A lot of the world, as you can see, you can hit your children if you want
22:21
That's awful. I felt horrible saying that. There are surely better alternatives to teaching good behavior in your children That is ridiculous Which countries are Russian passport holders not allowed to enter So many neighboring countries have completely banned Russians from accessing their country
22:36
And it's just really sad, isn't it? Because obviously, people in charge of Russia currently, they're awful
22:40
They're causing a right ruckus. But it causes people to be horrible to all Russians
22:44
And that is just not the case. I'm sure there are literally millions of people in Russia
22:48
that are totally against the war on Ukraine and any other bad things that Russia are doing
22:52
These days, my biggest audience on my main channel, JackSucksAtLife, comes from Russia due to my Russian audio tracks
22:59
If there are hundreds of thousands of Russians out there sat enjoying JackSucksAtLife's play button YouTube videos
23:05
then there is no way they are also at the same time just hating the rest of the world
23:10
And I just feel so sorry for all of the countries out there that just have people in charge that are awful
23:15
I mean, I suppose thinking about it, we can kind of relate to that. Most popular metal band of each country according to Spotify
23:21
Ooh, go on, enhance, enhance. Turns out it can't enhance, enhance. The quality's literally awful
23:26
I can't really see anything in Europe other than Black Sabbath. Slaughter to Prevail is the Russian lead
23:31
That is an incredible name. But Metallica have got the lead in the USA, so I guess nothing else matters
23:37
1300s Netherlands map compared to 1900s, 2000s Netherlands map. Yeah, they have recovered a lot of their land
23:43
And is it just due to their flood management techniques? I mean, they've really made the most of it, to be fair
23:48
US counties where the African American population is 25% or more and you can see it is very much
23:54
limited to this specific area of the south. You see this kind of thing all over the world
23:58
it is just crazy the long-term impacts that things that have happened in history still have today
24:03
just hundreds of years later. Like presumably it's going to take another thousand years or so
24:08
for these sort of systemics to disappear. Number of Nobel Prize winners in each European country
24:13
All right, who has had the most? The United Kingdom, okay, and then who's had the least
24:18
There's a few ones out there. We've got Slovakia. We've got Bulgaria. We've got Latvia. Is that Latvia or is that Lithuania? I can never remember. Yeah, it's Latvia. Step it up, Latvia. What are you doing, bro? The most western point in China is closer to Germany than the most eastern point in China
24:35
Well, that's crazy. 4,600 kilometers to get to Germany compared to 4,800 to get to the other side of China
24:43
China is wide. That's why the fact that it only has one time zone is particularly crazy
24:48
Where water stress will be highest by 2050. Projected ratio of human water demand to water availability
24:55
Brackets the water stress level in the year 2050. All right, well, that's something to look forward to
24:59
Good job, human race. World map according to Bhutan. This is countries that Bhutan recognizes
25:05
That's interesting. This is Bhutan, by the way, if you're not sure, little fella near the Himalayas
25:10
They only recognize 54 countries. UK, not one of those. USA, not one of those
25:15
That's so interesting. It's part of a deliberate isolationist policy of limiting foreign influence in the state
25:22
So they don't want any outside influence, so they've decided to just pretend that we don't exist
25:27
Fair enough. The European route E45 is the longest north to south European route
25:31
We're 5,190 kilometers, which is 3,000 miles. and it starts all the way up in Norway and it ends at the bottom of Italy
25:39
Ah, in a different timeline. That's a JackSucksAtGeography video. Just vlogging me doing this route
25:43
Wouldn't that be incredible? I've got to start doing things like that. Language difficulty ranking as an English speaker
25:49
Okay, so once again, the more East you get, apparently the harder it is to learn the language
25:53
with exceptions in Kosovo and Romania. We've got a lot of ones
25:57
Germany is a two, which is annoying because I'm learning Germany. Why don't I pick the slightly more difficult one
26:03
I do find the different genders that words have very difficult to get. That's where I'm kind of losing the will to live when learning German
26:09
Non-European countries closest in land area to each European country. Oh, this looks like a good map
26:16
That is getting an enhance, enhance. Do you know what? I don't think I understand this. I literally don't know what I'm looking at
26:21
Non-European countries closest in land area to each European country. Oh, in terms of size, not in terms of location to each other
26:30
Right, that makes way more sense. I thought they were saying that Guinea was the closest non-European country to the United Kingdom
26:37
And I was like, what? Okay, so apparently the United Kingdom and Guinea in Africa are a similar size
26:43
Botswana is a similar size to France. I would have thought Botswana was quite a bit bigger
26:48
Madagascar is a similar size to Ukraine. That's interesting. Oman, that's a surprising one
26:53
Oman I think of is quite small, but obviously here it looks quite big
26:57
Obviously there's a bit of distortion up in the north. Japan's a surprising one
27:00
would have thought japan was way larger than norway but apparently they are similar sizes switzerland
27:05
and bhutan being a similar size that one i do not find a surprise bangladesh and greece that's
27:10
surprising once again this really shows you it is just really difficult to kind of directly compare
27:16
different countries in scale from different parts of the map access to electricity per african
27:21
country it's gonna be a sad one so northern africa basically everyone's got access to electricity
27:27
which is fantastic but then in countries like drc it's as low as nine percent oh my god one
27:32
percent where's that is that south sedan no access to electricity that is crazy it's 2024 guys
27:38
obviously there are ways to survive comfortably without electricity i'm not denying that however
27:43
my assumption is the people in south sedan are not currently surviving comfortably i know there's
27:48
literally a war going on there percentage of internet users per african country is quite
27:54
similar there are a few differences like uh why is that algeria no that's algeria that's libya
28:00
right i often get those two mixed up yeah it's libya so compared to the neighbors libya have
28:04
loads of electricity but less interest in the internet which is not necessarily a bad thing
28:09
in that specific scenario average number of kids per women per country once again northern africa
28:14
just showing signs of far more development a lot of the continent having a lot of children per
28:19
person which of course is sometimes a choice but my assumption in this scenario is that it's because
28:24
of a lack of things like birth control protection and that sort of stuff yeah this map shows the
28:29
poverty level and you can see a lot of africa most of africa in fact still basically in poverty
28:33
which is very very sad government's position on the iraq war prior to the invasion that started
28:38
21 years ago today so the orange are countries that participated that includes the united kingdom
28:43
yellow were in support blue are countries that were opposed to the invasion which is a lot of
28:47
countries why can't we all just be like bhutan and just pretend that no the countries exist so
28:52
then you don't have to invade anyone you know european countries by world war ii casualties
28:56
we can see casualties across all of europe but look at the difference in russia or soviet union
29:03
20 million compared to next highest which is 6.9 million in germany 20 million that's insane global
29:09
distribution of penguins ah finally they've all been way too heavy the maps today what did i title
29:15
this video at the beginning i hope it wasn't mops i find epic the global population of penguins is
29:20
a very cool thing to see you can see they are entirely in the southern hemisphere oh maybe we
29:26
might just dip up in ecuador galapagos islands oh yeah look at that we've got penguins all down
29:31
the south of australia all of new zealand this little dot is the galapagos islands a few in
29:36
africa as well and then tons in antarctica oh that's amazing google searches for skin tanning
29:42
Slash skin whitening. I didn't even know skin whitening was a thing
29:45
But it's exactly what you think it is. It's a cosmetic procedure that tries to get you a paler skin tone
29:50
I mean, that makes perfect sense. All the pale people want to be darker and all of the darker skin people want to be paler
29:56
Well, not all actually, just the people that have actively gone to search one or the other
29:59
Countries mentioned in the Bible. That's rather interesting, isn't it? I mean, it makes perfect sense, obviously, based on where and when it was written
30:06
United Kingdom not mentioned in the Bible. Interesting. Chip logs from the 18th to 19th centuries versus 1945
30:14
Oh, this is a cool looking piece of data. So the black lines are routes that ships have done
30:19
So you can see the outlines of the continents are created, like Africa, South America
30:23
We can see back in 18th and 19th century, we didn't have things like the Suez C
30:28
So if you wanted to sail from Europe to over here, you'd have to go around Africa, which is kind of crazy
30:33
You can see a lot of back and forth from US to Europe over the Atlantic
30:37
But then if we scroll down to 1945 You can see the continents are far better defined and we actually have routes through Panama C and through Suez C as well
30:46
So you can skip going all the way around Africa or the side-by-side. It's actually really really interesting to look at Oceania
30:52
If Zealandia never sank so Zealandia is a continent that is now under the water
30:58
And that actually really switches things up. So modern day in New Zealand is kind of this area here
31:02
So much land is submerged. And all of these little island countries like Tonga and Fiji
31:07
actually become quite large countries that border each other. USA and Australia fit together almost perfectly
31:13
That is weird. Look at the way it curves around Florida and the Carolinas
31:18
And then all the way up to New York. The word soda takes over. So in 1947, you had a few areas of the US saying soda
31:26
but mainly it was pop and a lot of coke. In 2023, soda's now the biggest of the three
31:31
In the UK, we don't say soda. We would say pop, I suppose
31:34
But for me anyway, it's not part of my common dialogue. I would just say specifically the thing I wanted
31:40
like a cork or a tangle. I feel almost lame saying that I would like a glass of pop, please
31:46
It makes me feel like I'm a three-year-old. Taylor Swift's airplane travel history in 2023
31:51
She's just sipping about all over the place, back and forth. Oh my goodness
31:55
sometimes for just really really short trips as well that's ridiculous Taylor there needs to be
32:01
rules against this like I understand if you're like a mega famous celebrity it can be look at
32:07
that one my goodness we're nowhere near even denting it hang on let's skip ahead a bit there
32:13
are some lines yeah I understand being a massive celebrity and it can be like frustrating if you've
32:18
got lots of people looking at you whatever but you kind of gotta just get on with it and wear a hat
32:22
if it's a short journey at the very least. Like, that is just ridiculous
32:27
My god. It's just so terrible for the environment. You can't allow this
32:30
Peak of largest empires in history. So this is the Mongol Empire and the British Empire
32:36
Mongol Empire managed to take over a huge quantity of the same region
32:40
but British Empire managed to just spread themselves around different spots. Both definitely caused a lot of harm and had a lot of negatives
32:48
I finished my Germany project and illustrated all the German federal states. state oh it's so cute what a fantastic art style so it's the outline of the country but we've got
32:57
tons of references to germany based on different areas ah and they're all the specific shapes of
33:03
the regions and represent something to do with each region presumably that's really really clever
33:07
i like that it looks incredible oh look at that popular local beer brands of europe okay so
33:13
obviously ireland is guinness that makes sense uk john smiths i don't really know anyone other
33:18
other than me dad that drinks John Smith's. Heineken is from Netherlands. I honestly would have thought Heineken was German
33:24
Bex is apparently German, which I really didn't think. I potentially would have even said that Bex was English
33:29
But shows how wrong I am. Then we have quite a few that I have not heard of
33:33
Peroni, that would be my go-to beer, I think. That is from Italy
33:37
And Mythos, Greece. Only time I've ever had Mythos was when we got a free one with a Greek takeaway once
33:43
I like the look of Romania's Ursos. That looks badass. Evolution of high-speed railway lines in China
33:48
So in 2008, there really wasn't much at all. But in 2020, they have really kicked things up a notch
33:54
That is impressive. Is Egypt ruled by Egyptians? This is a really interesting type of graph
33:59
I've never seen this before. But we've got a timeline that incorporates the outline shape of the country
34:03
And we can see for about half of its history, Egypt was ruled by the Egyptians
34:09
With a blip during the Heixos period, which I know nothing about. And then from basically 1000 BC, it has been controlled by many different people
34:17
such as the Romans, the British, the Ottomans. And then since 1952, it is back to the Republic of Egypt
34:24
And 1952 onwards represents this tiny little bit of green down there
34:27
That really puts this timeline into perspective. Population of Ireland 1841 versus modern date
34:33
This is really interesting. So you can see in most areas, the population's actually gone down a lot
34:38
You know, 855,000 down here compared to 500,000 now. However, area around Dublin has obviously skyrocketed
34:46
So 1.35 million people living in this city. What's the word for that
34:50
Is it urban sprawl? No, literally the opposite of urban sprawl. I mean, this is just explained by kind of jobs changing since the Victorian times
34:58
Farmers, blacksmiths, all that sort of stuff. You just need to live in your local area
35:02
Whereas now most jobs, they're in the big seas. Countries that have become independent from the United Kingdom
35:06
Oh my god, that's hideous, isn't it? There's just so many, so, so many
35:10
And it's so sad particularly just how recent so many of these dates are. Like, a lot happened in the 60s
35:16
We've got 1978 there. We've got a lot of Oceania areas that are kind of 70s, 80s even
35:21
Requirements for entry into Japan. Alright, this isn't it, hands and hands. So, the dark green is visa-free as long as you don't stay too long
35:28
Light green is visa-free for three months. Saudi Arabia and South Africa can apply for an electronic visa with 90 days notice
35:36
So a bit trickier. But most of the world is grey, which is visa-acquired and strict visa regime
35:41
This is going to only be issued by the Japanese embassy in exchange for documentation proving intent to return to the country of nationality
35:48
So they're really keeping their borders strict. And then there's one dark grey. They're literally not allowed into the country
35:53
Where is that? Ah, it's North Korea. Okay, that makes sense. Support for gay marriage in the United States
35:58
So we're starting as late as 1975 and still very, very little support
36:03
Let's see how quickly this takes over. And it seems to be coming from the West as well
36:09
Oh, hang on. By 1985, we've had a big revolution, which is nice
36:13
Numbers still very low. Actually, hang on. The percentage needs to get to like 100
36:17
I was thinking it was getting to 10. It is still incredibly low in that case. And we're in the 90s
36:22
This is just terrible, isn't it? Well, this is really sad. This is my lifetime now
36:26
And we have no numbers that are higher than 36 out of 100
36:30
I mean, it's easy to understand why this is. Like, I really like the sitcom Friends
36:33
But there are many jokes within that show that are just homophobic and at the expense of gay people
36:39
And that's just so wrong. That was not that long ago. That show finished in 2004
36:43
I'm curious what it's gonna get to by today. Oh, we actually have our first bit of green
36:48
Okay, it's 2005 now 2010, but that's still only half of these areas half the people in those areas
36:53
Anyway, 2010 2015 it keeps going up But as you can see, I think we're gonna find that the usa still has a long way to go
37:02
And what are we ending on? The south still very old-fashioned there. Ridiculous. The stink bug
37:07
invasion. Oh my god. Okay, so they started in 2005 and they are spreading east quick. Oh
37:15
and they've already made it to the west coast too. Presumably made it onto some flights across
37:20
or something Oh my god that a scary looking map Climate of Australia compared to the world So most of the Outback is the same temperature as the Sahara Desert which is crazy Hence why basically no one lives there and it just a barren landscape
37:34
Apparently, Tasmania has a similar climate to Alaska, which I did not realize it would be that cold
37:40
Then this little tiny area, like around Canberra, that's Finland? A lot of this East Coast is the same as England
37:45
I think Sydney's around this area. I don't know how accurate this is. I was in Sydney during the winter
37:50
and it was still much warmer than the UK. I don't know if I believe this. I suppose it's got to be time of year dependent for each country and Australia
37:58
Luxembourg, Ireland, and Switzerland are Europe's richest countries per capita. Wow, so Ireland now double the UK in terms of capita
38:05
And what is Luxembourg? Luxembourg, 131,000. So which countries are lowest? We've got Ukraine down to just 6,000
38:13
That's a huge difference. Belarus, 8,000. Russia, 14,000. Big differences between the West and the East
38:19
The world according to Google Street View, May 2024. 2024. We've seen many of these maps over the years, but obviously this is literally this month
38:26
So this is the most up to date and a lot of the world is now visible. Still lots of Africa that
38:31
we cannot see. Europe basically entirely visible now, excluding Belarus it looks like. Do we have
38:37
more coverage over Germany? I thought they got rid of a lot of the coverage. Yeah, it will be very interesting to see if they ever managed to get more of Africa visible. What a task that is though
38:44
That is crazy when you think about how big that place is. The Swiss plan announced by Libya's mad
38:49
dictator Gaddafi at the UN. Wait, he wanted to get rid of Switzerland? In 2009, he submitted a
38:55
proposal to the UN to abolish Switzerland and divide it up along linguistic lines, giving parts
38:59
of the country to Germany, France, and Italy. Why? What has Switzerland done to Libya? Brazil
39:04
overlaid onto Europe. Okay, it's flipped upside down, but wow. Look at the size of Brazil. Just
39:10
this tiny area is the same size of Spain and Portugal. And this includes most of the Mediterranean
39:15
Sea as well. So it looks like Brazil is basically the exact same size as Europe. How many years an
39:20
area has been ruled by the Roman Empire? So it's highest in areas like Greece and Italy, obviously
39:25
1,500 years there. Apparently, they ruled England and Wales for 350 years, northern England 300
39:32
years, and less than 50 years for some of Scotland. They never managed to take over all of it. We have
39:38
a crazy length of time in these northern African areas like modern day Egypt, 750 years, which we
39:44
did see reference to in that previous graph. Yeah, this is really interesting. They really had
39:48
the Mediterranean on lockdown for a while. Wow, UK and Ireland from space. We have an actual real
39:55
photograph. I've never seen it from that far away before. It is amazing to be able to actually see
40:00
the outline so perfect. That is a great distance. It was not very cloudy that day, was it? It's
40:06
kind of yellow looking, isn't it? I thought it'd be greener. Okay, it was taken during one of the
40:10
hottest heat waves on record in England. So yeah, the grass had all just kind of burnt and yellowed
40:15
TikTok censorship. So a lot of the country has no censorship, but you can see that UK, France
40:20
Canada have banned TikTok on government phones. So you work at the government, you have a work
40:25
phone, you can't have TikTok downloaded. Some areas have banned it completely, but not enforced
40:29
it, which I don't really understand. China have a full ban, but I thought TikTok was owned by
40:33
China. That confuses me. India have also banned it as well. I did not know that. And the US
40:37
obviously has a ban that's pending it'll be interesting to see if that goes through countries with a smaller population than java this is mental by the way so java is this small island in indonesia
40:47
but 145 million people live there which i think is more than every individual country in europe
40:53
a bunch of africa and so many others excluding basically the top seven most populated countries
40:58
that's crazy countries with the most bald men in the world okay so i guess this shows you're more
41:03
likely to be bald if you're white which i did not realize was a trait apparently the united kingdom
41:08
is at 40 i am sort of slowly losing my hairline a bit but not too bad at the moment but it's so
41:14
common it's such a thing for men to be self-conscious about i kind of feel like we need
41:17
to stop being mean about it to be honest most people once they shave their head they get a little mustache they're not pretty cool in my opinion most valuable italian brands right there's
41:25
lots of recognizable names here ferrari lamborghini we've got diesel we've got giorgio armani alfa
41:32
for Romeo, Martini. They all sound so Italian as well. What have I not heard of? Carpisa. What do
41:38
they do? They make handbags, I think. Yes, they do. Cool. Nearly 50 countries now generate more
41:44
than 50% of their electricity from renewable energy sources. That is amazing to see. It's also
41:49
pretty cool to see how many of those are in Africa, because normally Africa's left out of
41:53
all of the positive maps. I wonder if it's solar power, you know, just with Africa being very sunny
41:57
See, I feel like UK could easily be on this list, and it is a shame that we are not at the moment
42:02
Which countries has the most vegetarians in Europe? So apparently there's only 10 vegetarians in the United Kingdom
42:08
I'm one of them. What is this, a percentage? Oh, it does say percent up the top, to be fair
42:12
Okay, so yeah, 1 in 10 people in the UK, 12% in Sweden, Finland
42:16
That's the highest. Still very low in places like Spain. But I think it'll just keep increasing
42:21
There are a lot of vegetarian options now where you can just have stuff that tastes like meat without killing anything
42:27
Where deserts can be found around the world. Quite interesting way of looking at it
42:30
Obviously, Sahara Desert takes up all of this, but you can see that geologically, I presume there wasn't always this big gap
42:37
So the Sahara effectively does kind of just continue into Saudi Arabia, Oman, etc
42:42
I also didn't realize how off-center the outback was. I always kind of thought it was perfectly in the middle with a border around it
42:49
but you can see it goes quite a bit to the left and all the way to the coast. How many people have never used the internet
42:53
So we have no data for the UK, but we have a bit of orange for Ireland, which is 5% to 7% of the population
43:00
So very very little now over 10 percent is what's interesting though because that's quite a lot and we can see portugal's one of those countries
43:06
Which is surprising i'm curious why that is if anyone knows in the comments animation of the tsunami generated by the 9.5 magnitude
43:12
Earthquake that occurred in southern chile 1960. Oh my god. That's such a scary animation
43:18
It has gone so so far as well like that is traveling so far across the pacific there
43:24
It's about to reach new zealand like you've got to actually try and quantify how far this distance is
43:30
oh my god so it's also going to impact australia all of these tiny oceanic countries that must have
43:35
caused chaos for those we've hit hawaii they're gone right through it and it's making its way all
43:40
the way over to asia without a problem that is mental isn't it think of the disruption caused
43:46
to humans and animals here whoa wild world a world map of nature with 1642 animals took me
43:53
three years to draw whoa it would be criminal if i did not enhance enhance this oh the quality's
43:59
so good when you get close okay so we're in north america canada specifically at the minute oh this
44:05
is the coolest thing i've ever seen we could stare at this for hours so obviously we've got a lot of
44:09
bears and eagles and bison is that a bison over in this area oh my god i love this this is the
44:16
best thing i've ever seen what fantastic drawings we've got greenlands we've got some polar bears
44:21
seals puffins over in iceland oh my god you must have to do so much research we're a little badger
44:26
in the united kingdom we got some swans we got a moose is that a moose no it's probably a deer
44:32
isn't it let's get back in the sea i like seeing all of the fish swimming about oh this is just
44:36
incredible isn't it this is so so cool look at australia look at the little tasmanian devil look
44:42
at all the pirates and the kawas and the barquets and the cassowaries oh man look at the little kiwi
44:49
down in new zealand fair play the person that drew this we've got penguins down in the south
44:54
Paul so many different types of penguins too Got a little spider what he doing down there He little fella look at the cute little penguin family as well Okay we in South America now And oh we got we got a toucan
45:05
We like toucans. So many cool animals down in South America. Let me get to Costa Rica
45:09
I'm hyped about that. Oh yeah, we've got some little tree frogs. We've got these things
45:13
I can't remember what they're called. We've got flamingos. Oh, we've got alligues in Florida
45:17
And look at all the massive whales in the Atlantic. Oh, that is insane, isn't it
45:23
Anton Thomas. That is incredible. That is possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen in this series
45:29
The world's 250 million years from now. In 250 million years, continents will collide again to form Pangea Proxima
45:36
New mountains will emerge and the Atlantic Ocean will become a sea. Mount Everest will not be the highest point anymore
45:41
That is mental to think about. Will humans still be around 250 million years
45:45
You kind of assume not. You know, we've only been around 200,000 years at this point
45:49
I guess something will still be around, but surely it won't be what we think of as humans today
45:53
You can kind of still make out some of the shape of Australia, South America too
45:57
but everything else is just like a big blob of blah blah blah blah. Countries banned from the Olympics between 1920 and 2024
46:05
Okay, and hands on hands. Alright, Hungary was banned in 1920 due to war. Belarus and Russia were banned in 2024
46:11
Obviously, remember that one. Germany was banned 1948, 1924, 1920. A lot of countries have been banned over the years
46:17
Japan, Korea, Kuwait, South Africa, Zimbabwe. mainly due to war but there's also politics doping taliban's position on women it's not
46:25
really political is it countries where leaving your religion is punished this is something i've
46:29
not really thought about before i know that there's some pretty strict religious countries out there but thinking about getting the death penalty because you don't want to be part of
46:36
religion anymore is insane and that's quite a few countries as well i don't get how like the rest
46:41
of the world is still allowing this kind of thing map of africa on the year 1880 before the european
46:46
scramble for africa that is sad to think about such a diverse continent and then big white people came
46:52
in and were like yeah we'll have this bit the most populous countries expected in 2100 oh so about 80
46:58
years from now i've not seen data like this before so usa 336 million i think that's actually less
47:04
than they've got now and they on about like 350 330 so actually in eight years they're barely
47:09
changing china's currently on a billion so they must be really slowing down india's projected to
47:13
stick the same nigeria 791 million surely that's way higher than right now yeah 200 million
47:19
currently surely that's going to cause a bit of chaos if they really do continue at that rate
47:23
darkest legal front side window tint by state oh i'd love to have my front window tinted but the uk
47:28
doesn't let you take your front window in the us though we can have a good variety of tintage what
47:34
does zero mean does that mean you're actually allowed to make it completely non-transparent
47:38
surely not because they've got none up here which is white so you're not allowed to tint it the
47:42
The black must mean you can actually, nah, that can't be right. Ah, someone's clarified in the comments that they mean the top four inches of your front window can be completely black if you want it to be, which I guess makes more sense
47:54
Ancestry of US presidents, approximately up to 10 generations in the past
47:58
This is really interesting, and I guess it's just a reminder of how young the US is
48:03
You go back 10 generations, and obviously none of them are from the USA
48:06
A lot of US presidents' ancestry comes from the British Isles, which I guess makes sense
48:11
Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, George Bush, Ronald Reagan. We have a few from France, Germany
48:17
Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, and then some individuals, Kenya for Barack Obama. Obviously
48:22
he himself was from Hawaii, though. Poland, Sweden, Spain, Estonia. That's really interesting
48:26
5G availability by country. Right, this is another enhance, enhance. Okay, so the color represents
48:32
the year at which it was introduced, as opposed to how strong it was. So, India have just gotten a
48:37
lot of 5G coverage apparently. Most of Europe has 5G these days. I'm in the UK which I do get 5G
48:43
sometimes but a lot of places I go are 4 or 3G still but that is still far better than the
48:48
continents of Africa and South America where there is very little 5G coverage at all. How many
48:53
Europeans born before World War I are still alive? The maps today are really interesting aren't they
48:58
Just so much stuff I've not really thought about. So we have 16 people in the UK that were born
49:03
before world war one which was 1916 right oh it's 1914 jack i knew that i knew that as well apparently
49:10
france and italy still have over 30 and then a lot of eastern europe the numbers are very low
49:15
for whatever reason i guess that's because people live longer in these countries than these countries
49:20
i suppose maybe there's probably more to it than that so the oldest living person was born in 1907
49:24
and they're called maria and they live in spain very interesting the location border of the great
49:29
wall of china was it worth the effort all right so that is a really big wall to be fair goes a long
49:34
way do you know i don't think i've ever seen this on a map i assumed it went all the way across but
49:38
it doesn't it just stops here they stopped about halfway about the protest from far right in the
49:42
uk violent protests yeah it's riots rather than protests isn't it on the hundred arrests have been
49:47
made after violence as protests organized by far-right groups yeah really really sad and
49:52
depressing and shocking to see that there's that many people that are that horrible but i have seen
49:57
recently they're getting more and more outnumbered by actual nice people which is good virginia's
50:01
territorial claims over the years so in 1609 virginia claimed like all of the usa and canada
50:09
i guess which is kind of mad to think about then they claimed this large chunk of the north east
50:14
and it's just been slowly reducing down to the current state that they've got now since 1863
50:19
regions of europe different perspectives considered okay so northern europe does actually
50:24
include the uk and ireland which is interesting i maybe wouldn't have whacked us in that western
50:29
definitely does make sense then you've got eastern central balkan southern what else do we have ah
50:34
it's the individual pictures central europe kind of centered around czechia i suppose that makes
50:39
sense western yep i'm on board with the western eastern as well southern and then finally balkan
50:45
yeah i guess it's all a bit of a blur there's gonna be overlap here and there busiest railway stations in europe okay so guerre du nord in france is the busiest with 245 million visitors
50:57
that's kind of crazy a lot of uk and germany on this list so uk's busiest is waterloo 177 million
51:04
i've been to water station once i think germany's busiest is hamburg with 196 million though yeah
51:10
germany definitely dominating the list more than everywhere else but france taking the number one
51:14
spot map of the highest points in each us state okay i reckon i've probably not heard of any of
51:20
these places let's see if there's anywhere that i recognize the name of uh no that literally isn't
51:26
i don't know any of these mountains mount sunflower sounds nice though what if zealandia was above
51:31
sea level yeah there is a hidden continent basically under new zealand just to the east of australia
51:36
and you can see it's pretty massive the northern parts will be tropical and the southern tip must
51:40
It must be something like Patagonia. Oh, I would love to see it. New Zealand's already an incredible country with like so much of its own diverse history and wildlife
51:48
Zealandia would be magnificent. Global rat distribution map. All right, now we're getting to some good stuff
51:54
So there are rats basically everywhere in the world other than Antarctica, which makes sense
52:00
And then areas of the Arctic Circle. So I guess they don't like it too chilly to the little rats
52:04
They're so cute rats, you know. They get a lot of bad rep, but they're incredible little animals
52:08
I'm gonna have a pet rat at some point. It's gonna be fantastic. he's gonna sit here while i record videos population size of european countries okay so
52:14
we're not considering actual land it's literally just how many people live in each country so you
52:18
can see that the united kingdom is pretty packed for its actual size and russia a low massively
52:23
populated country comparing how big it is to germany and the united kingdom its population isn actually that crazy countries that have never won a medal in the olympics it weird how they all kind of around
52:35
a central region of the earth isn't it so a lot of countries in africa a lot of the small oceanic
52:40
and central american caribbean countries never won anything and then in europe i guess it's the
52:44
micro states like monaco and andorra san marino that sort of stuff i suppose it makes sense that
52:49
smaller countries with small populations are going to be less likely to have globally talented olympic
52:54
athletes, but not always impossible. When did women get the right to vote in Europe? So a lot
52:59
of countries, it was around 1918, 1919. Russia was actually one year earlier than the UK, which is
53:05
interesting, isn't it? You can say it was pretty late for France, 1944, but even later for Switzerland
53:11
1971. That's crazy. That is horrific. How many wild alligators are there in each US state? Oh
53:17
here we go. So for most US states, it's zero, like literally no alligators at all. But things pop off
53:23
in the south, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida in particular. What is that, 1.3 million? It is 1.3
53:29
million in Florida, 400,000 in Texas, which I didn't know. I knew there was alligators in Florida
53:34
and then all of these states have some. Louisiana though, 2 million. Why is there so many alligators
53:39
in Louisiana? I want to see a picture of one. Yeah, there we go. What a cutie. Transcontinental
53:44
cities. These are cities that span two continents. Okay, and there's actually quite a few apparently
53:49
So, Istanbul is probably the only one I would have known about, which is Europe and Asia, obviously, in Turkey
53:55
Orenburg in Russia is apparently part of Europe as well as Asia. Okay, so it must be right on the cusp there, I see
54:00
Suez makes sense, Africa and Asia, that's where the Suez C is
54:04
Almeria in Spain, that's something I've never heard of. It's an island in the Mediterranean, considered African, okay
54:10
A lot of continents like Oceania don't have any transcontinental cities, okay, cool
54:14
doggerland around 10 000 bc this is another sort of forgotten continent or area of land whatever you
54:20
want to call it so before the sea levels rose the united kingdom was actually connected with
54:26
a lot of europe and there's so much more land around the netherlands and denmark you can see
54:30
that red is what the land is like now but yeah you just can't imagine it can you and that was only
54:34
10 000 years ago average saveable income by country in europe so i think this means that in the united
54:39
kingdom on average people are able to save 36 of their salary as in like whack it in a savings
54:45
account and use it later but the thing is i don't like these kind of maps because the data includes
54:49
like the super rich at the top which distorts most of the data in like the 95 and it makes
54:54
people look way better off than they actually are which then makes governments look better even
54:58
though they're causing a real faff on but that is particularly sad when you consider that a lot of
55:02
these eastern countries they're actually in the minuses where people aren't actually able to save
55:06
anything and they're just in debt which is obviously really really sad europe's favorite tv
55:10
shows oh god what's ours then sherlock nah sherlock was good you know it was fine but
55:16
favorite tv show of all time for the average british person nah there's definitely better
55:21
british made tv shows than sherlock can i think of any no the red area is home to 0.9 of australia's
55:28
population 243 000 people the vast majority of those people are concentrated a few outback towns
55:34
leaving practically the entire area truly wild yeah that's crazy to think about so much of australia
55:40
just isn't inhabited like a huge huge portion of it australia is a similar size to europe so
55:45
think about how much land that actually is depth of lake baikal oh get this full screened this
55:52
is so cool looking like a 3d map 3d topography this is such a cool way to accurately represent
56:01
the place biggest company per region okay so north america has microsoft worth three trillion
56:07
fair enough i thought apple were higher but apparently not south america have petrobras
56:11
not heard of but they are an oil and gas company okay in europe it's novo nordisk which is a
56:17
pharmaceutical company africa has naspers which is technology company think of the difference there
56:22
31 billion which is obviously a colossal amount of money but it's not very much compared to three
56:27
trillion. We've got oil and gas for Asia and mining and gas for Oceania. So oil and gas still really
56:33
globally dominating, which is a bit sad really considering their fossil fuels. Biggest postcode
56:38
in Australia, brackets the world. Yeah, surely that cannot be beaten. So this postcode is used
56:43
in an area of Australia that is probably the size of like Germany, United Kingdom, France, Spain
56:49
all shoved together. And they all have the same postcode basically because there's probably about
56:53
three houses in there. That's so interesting. And look at all of these other huge postcode zones
56:57
too. A lighthouse map of France. Ah, see, that's pretty. Get a little zoom in on here. Look at the
57:03
pretty lights going down. It's all about perspective. Oh, so this is the Mediterranean Sea, but flipped
57:09
this way. So if we go ahead and flip this, it's super recognizable. We've got Italy, we've got
57:14
Turkey. But it's actually really interesting to see it this way up because it does look totally
57:18
different. Germany's economy equals all of these countries combined. That is crazy. 4.6 trillion
57:24
which is the same as all these other countries added together. Germany is raking it in
57:28
I would not have expected Norway, Sweden, and Finland to be included in this
57:32
Germany is loaded, it turns out. Most common means of transport to work by county in America
57:37
and it is driving alone in a car every single way, apart from areas of Alaska where it's walking
57:43
I suppose that makes sense, Alaska being so rural. That's crazy, though. And it's the fact that it specifies driving alone in a car
57:50
and there'll be such big cars that are so unnecessarily large. Oh, there is actually a teeny tiny bit of orange right there
57:55
That's public transportation. It's a shame that not more of this is public transportation, because obviously it's so much better for the world
58:01
than driving by yourself in your metal box. But it's crazy to see how dominating that is
58:06
Roads of the Roman Empire. Oh, that looks epic. Get a little enhanced, enhanced here
58:10
Look at how much of England and Wales, they absolutely dominated. There'll be so many of these roads everywhere, still just in full use
58:17
People not even realizing they were built like 2,000 years ago. Look how many roads came out of Rome as well
58:22
They're really dominating that area. That is crazy. Most countries have been colonized by Europe
58:27
Okay, so this is Europe. Fair enough. Then the dark blue is places that were at some point colonized or controlled by Europe
58:32
And it's basically everywhere. Some areas have been partially controlled or at least influenced by Europe
58:38
And then there are very few places in the world that have never been colonized by Europe at all
58:42
The Koreas and Japan being three examples. That is insane, isn't it? This is not a map I think is epic
58:48
The percentage of homes with air conditioning across the world. Oh, I would love air conditioning. I would go mad for air conditioning. I've got this fan and it doesn't even do the job
58:56
My camera still overeats. So 10% of europe have got air conditioning I would be interested to see uk specifically less than 5% of homes in the united kingdom have air conditioning
59:04
Well, there you go. It's just not common at all here. Like I will admit i'm a pretty well-off guy
59:09
I still don't have air conditioning whereas 90% of the usa have got air conditioning in their homes
59:13
Oh, what a dream and I know a lot of usa is warmer than europe But a lot of areas have got a similar climate
59:18
Why do we not have air conditioning? Quite a bit of Asia have air conditioning. Obviously, areas like Japan, it's kind of essential at frequent points throughout the year
59:25
I feel sorry for the 9% that do not have air conditioning. But 90% USA, that's crazy
59:30
The Ivy League universities of the USA. So I don't know much about Ivy League universities at all
59:35
When I think of Cornell, I think of Andy from The Office. And when I think of Yale and Harvard, I think of Rory from Gilmore Girls
59:41
They're literally my only points of reference to what I'm sure are very impressive educational systems
59:47
Christianity in the Middle East. Okay, obviously we know Christianity in the Middle East is not particularly common
59:51
but it is most common in Cyprus at 78%. Obviously, there's a bit of debate about if Cyprus is in the Middle East or not
59:58
Egypt's higher than I would expect. expect 10% and then everywhere else pretty much what you would think. We've got 0.2% for Yemen
1:00:05
basically nothing, 4.4% Saudi Arabia and presumably a lot of these are just people that aren't from
1:00:10
this country originally as well. When does a woman have her first child? Okay, this is interesting
1:00:15
Okay, so the average in the UK is at age 29, which yeah, I know people that have had children around
1:00:20
that age. In Ireland, it's a bit higher at 31, interesting, and it does seem like pretty much
1:00:25
everywhere the numbers are actually quite close. Like what is the lowest we've got here? Is it
1:00:29
Bulgaria at 26.6. Oh no, Moldova, 25 years old. Now when I think about me at 25, I do not think
1:00:36
about me having a child. Like if you're a young person, 25, you assume sounds like an adult
1:00:42
but trust me, when you are 25, you do not feel like an adult. But I honestly thought that in
1:00:46
areas of Europe, the numbers would be much lower. So I suppose it's actually kind of nice to see
1:00:50
And I think it'll probably just keep getting a bit higher as well. Obviously, I know it does get
1:00:53
more difficult to get pregnant when you sort of get into your 30s. Where you're most likely to get
1:00:58
a speeding ticket. Oh, that's an interesting bit of data. So I suppose this will be a combination
1:01:02
of things. It will be roads that people just really want to drive fast on, but also it'll
1:01:08
just be areas with increased CCTV or stricter rules. And you can see it is kicking off in Ohio
1:01:14
You don't want to be speeding about in Ohio. That's what we're learning. The sign says 55
1:01:18
and by God, they mean 55. I hate driving across Ohio. So like I said, they must just be really
1:01:22
really strict there. Countries using the Euro. Do you know what? I've been wanting a map like this
1:01:27
So most of Europe are now on the Euros. Okay, cool. A few places are using it without EU approval, which is interesting
1:01:33
It looks like it's Montenegro and Macedonia. There's a few countries that aren't in the EU, but they're still using the Euro
1:01:40
Obviously, the United Kingdom is still using the Great British Pound. What a surprise. It meant that I got charged up the wazoo on my debit card when I had my little trip in Ireland last week
1:01:47
Countries where X brackets Twitter is blocked. All right, it's blocked in Russia, China, North Korea
1:01:52
I would not expect anything less. It also blocked in Myanmar Turkmenistan Nigeria Iran and recently it being blocked in Brazil I mean in my opinion Twitter has gone downhill a lot It just feels like it getting far more right I don really enjoy it at all anymore
1:02:05
Whoa, this is my part of your eyes to look at. Is your nation's capital the nearest national capital
1:02:09
Oh, it's so wacky looking. Okay, so basically what this means is if you live anywhere in this blue area of the United Kingdom
1:02:15
London is your closest capital. But if you dip into the red, even though you're still in the United Kingdom
1:02:20
your closest capital is actually Dublin in another country, And it works the same everywhere
1:02:25
Obviously, Iceland, Reykjavik is nowhere near anywhere else. Moscow takes up a pretty big chunk up here
1:02:30
This is interesting, isn't it? How do you make a map like this? It must be so difficult
1:02:34
Map of British dialect. Ooh, okay, here we go. Right, well, let's zoom into where I'm from, which is County Durham
1:02:40
So, County Durham definitely does have its own accent, but it is similar to the Geordie accent
1:02:44
It is just not quite as strong. And I think people from down south would probably just have assumed that I was a Geordie
1:02:49
There's also an area called Smoggy, which despite me being here, I do not recognize what that word is. Most accents are named after the county that they are in
1:02:57
but there are a few exceptions, such as Cockney. Also, Potteries, which I've never heard of. We've
1:03:02
got Scouse, a very famous accent, and apparently, Barry, near Cardiff, has its own accent as well
1:03:07
I do love British accents. There is such an incredible variety, despite it being a pretty
1:03:11
small place. Frequency of red hair in Europe. This just shows how crazily rare red slash ginger hair
1:03:17
actually is. It's basically just Ireland and Scotland, and a little bit of Wales as well
1:03:21
And then this area of Russia, which is interesting. I did not know that. Over 10% of people in this area of Russia, is this Moscow maybe, have red hair
1:03:28
But everywhere else, it's a pretty rare thing. You know, we've got a lot of 5% to 9% and then mainly 1% to 2%
1:03:36
It really is way more rare than I realized just because a lot of people around me do have red hair
1:03:40
So I don't think of it as that crazy. Well, this sounds crazy. I just traveled to a remote village in Armenia to explore a virtually unknown megalithic avenue
1:03:48
thought to be 6,000 to 8,000 years old. What I found is an incredible mysterious site
1:03:52
lying in plain sight for thousands of years Oh my God Okay so this is the area over in Armenia And this is what it looks like So it basically just ruins from you know 6 to 8 years ago
1:04:02
And here it is from a bird's eye view. Lying in plain sight. But I suppose because it's such a rural area of Armenia, no one's really been to it
1:04:09
That's crazy. Egypt population density. This is always really cool to see. So basically, everyone in Egypt just lives around the Nile
1:04:17
Because this is the exact route of the Nile. And then you've got Cairo and Alexandria at the top
1:04:20
Obviously, so much of Egypt is like desert, basically the Sahara. How many US counties have a population greater than the state of Wyoming
1:04:27
Here is Wyoming for your reference. As you can see, it's bloody massive and it's very square as well
1:04:31
But you can see there are so many places dot about, despite being far smaller in terms of land size
1:04:37
that have a larger population, 582,000. A 3D figure of the Tokyo metro system map
1:04:44
Whoa, they go downwards. Of course they do. But look at that. It's like a roller coaster
1:04:48
Obviously, Tokyo is absolutely ginormous, so I support- I can't get my inner on this, actually
1:04:53
There are some big dips. I know that, obviously, like, metro systems, lots of them are underground
1:04:58
but some of this is so steep. They can't actually be that steep, right? Well, 25 largest lakes side-by-side, brackets
1:05:04
I didn't know the Caspian Sea counted as a lake. Well, apparently it does, and you can see it is way bigger than everywhere else
1:05:10
That's a sea. That's not a lake. Other honourable mentions, Lake Superior Lake Victoria
1:05:15
Great Bear Lake, Lake Malawi, Great Slave Lake. Not sure about the name of that one. So many of these lakes are in North America
1:05:22
aren't they? This carpet is made to look like a satellite map. That is hideous. I mean, it's epic
1:05:27
but you wouldn't want it in your living room. Harris versus Trump. Add spending and percentage
1:05:31
of rallies per state. Whoa, they are spending crazy money. So they've each spent over a hundred
1:05:37
million dollars on their advertising in Pennsylvania. That's mental, by the way. That is so much money
1:05:43
It's crazy, isn't it? How much kind of finances influence politics. And you know
1:05:47
If you've just got way more money, you can just spread your message way easier. Brasilia in Brazil has direct flights to all state capitals That is a lot of different state capitals Fair play Brasilia airport The 644 public transport stops of France That is a lot of public transport
1:06:03
spots. They've pretty much got everywhere covered there. I guess a bit bare in the middle, but
1:06:07
there's probably not that much going on there. Three years ago, I spent too much time drawing one map. Whoa, I think we're going to need an enhanced enhanced. Oh my God. Whoa, that's
1:06:16
Isn't it crazy? Is it like actually accurate? Or have you just made it up
1:06:20
A lot of it's called swamps. I think it's just made up because there's just random words
1:06:24
like potato, leek, soup, lake. It's just a bit of fun. Oh my goodness
1:06:28
It looks incredible though, doesn't it? I like it a lot. It's so unbelievably detailed though
1:06:32
Australia is an archipelago divided by land instead of water. Very true
1:06:37
Basically, it is inaccessible for more or less 90% of the country
1:06:41
Everyone's just living by the coast. And then obviously Perth over here is really split up from everywhere
1:06:46
You can't completely safely drive from city to city and it's also just way more efficient to get flights
1:06:51
Literal meanings of English counties. Ooh, this is an interesting one. Might require our last announce, announce
1:06:57
Okay, so Northumberland translates to land north of the Hummer. Ah, God, this is amazing
1:07:02
North Yorkshire is north shire of the place of yew trees. Okay, where I'm from, county Durham, county of the Hill Island
1:07:10
Didn't know there was a Hill Island, but that's nice. Over in Cumbria, it's land of the fellow countrymen
1:07:15
Norfolk and Suffolk are North people and South people. East Sussex, East Saxons
1:07:20
Oh, this is amazing. Cornwall is Foreigners of the Horn. Devon is Shire of the Domnoni people
1:07:26
Oh, this is amazing. This is so interesting to look through. Place at the Unformidable River and that's London
1:07:33
Oh my goodness. Southern District, Shire of the Horn Farm, Shire of the Willow Farm
1:07:37
This must go back such a long way. Shire of the Northerly Horn Farm. Basically everywhere in the United Kingdom's county is just named after some guy's farm
1:07:45
