1 Hour of Maps I Find Amazing. 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.

One hour of maps I find amazing
0:01
Map of Europe, but it's made out of national animals. Well, this is absolutely adorable
0:06
Okay, so United Kingdom, we've got the lion for England. We've got the Welsh dragon, the unicorn
0:12
Do any other countries in Europe have mythical national animals? Let's see if we can spot any. Whoa, there's a cow
0:16
That must be Switzerland. So they don't have an official national animal, but the cow is what they most commonly associate with them
0:22
Okay, we've got any other ones. Oh, we've got a little hedgehog. Is that Monocore? You would not expect Monocore's national animal to be a hedgehog
0:28
It is. They have three. The rabbit and the wood mouse as well. That's such a cute selection
0:33
Any other interesting ones? Oh, we got a couple of dolphins, it looks like. Got a big wolf, epic
0:38
We got some horses, a lot of wolf, actually. And then, oh, look at this big old bear
0:42
Obviously, that is Russia. Map of the internet in 1969. So you might have seen this one before, but it is a classic
0:48
So interesting to think about. You know, that wasn't really that long ago at all. Countries with compulsory voting
0:54
Okay, I didn't realize any countries had compulsory voting. So it's big in South America, which is interesting
0:58
It is a frustrating one because so many people don't bother voting. The UK's latest general election, 59% of people voted, but that means 40% of people didn't
1:07
That's 4 in 10 people. That's a huge number. But yeah, is the solution compulsory voting? Probably not
1:13
Maybe we could just give people a lolly or something once they voted. Sweden, when they voted to change to euro currency, the north side won with only 55%
1:20
But all of the biggest populations voted yes. So even though green is so teeny tiny, because of the amount of people that live in these areas
1:27
equated to 42%. Wow, that looks crazy. Male circumcision by country. Oh, I've just enhanced
1:33
enhanced. What's with the pictures of the bananas? There's no, I don't need to see that. 80% in USA
1:39
way higher than I would have thought. 97% and 96% in Algeria and Libya. 58% in Australia. What is
1:46
that, UK? 20%? One in five men circumcised? Nah. Global average, 38%. That's so much higher than I
1:53
thought. Countries in the Western sphere, according to Harvard School of International Relations. So
1:58
this is showing us that the West isn't always the West, because Australia and New Zealand are
2:03
definitely not West. Although to be fair, I suppose you could go far enough over on the map and then
2:07
like turn a little diagonal. Yeah, okay. I understand South Africa, but apparently places like South
2:12
Korea and Japan are undergoing Westernization, which is interesting. I wonder if people would
2:16
agree with that. Pollution in India and Pakistan is positively insane right now. So these are
2:20
satellite images and whoa that is crazy because this is a ginormous region here like this is all
2:26
himalayas i'm pretty sure but we can see just so much fog and smoke covering these areas of the
2:31
country so this is india there's new delhi and then this is pakistan over here wow that's so bad
2:36
that's sad the sahara desert 6 000 years ago okay so this is the sahara desert now but 6 000 years
2:42
ago there were lakes and hands and hands that's crazy i had no idea about this i assumed that it
2:46
would have been hot for the last like million years lake chad that's huge is there still a lake chad
2:51
there is still a lake chad but it is teeny tiny compared to how big it used to be and it is
2:57
continuing to disappear so you can see it used to be the size of basically the united kingdom whereas
3:01
now it could be contained within ireland whereas now it is whoa is it just this yellow bit now
3:06
what africa's religious divide okay so we can see that it is very heavily muslim in the north and
3:12
then Christian in all the South. Hindu pops up somewhere. Ah, Mauritius. Teeny tiny little
3:17
Mauritius. Eritrea is also a hybrid between the two. Oh, it's kind of sweet looking with that
3:21
yellow and pink blend together. There are 793 US counties without a McDonald's. What? I mean
3:27
I suppose these are very unpopulated regions, but you would think McDonald's would open a
3:31
McDonald's in every county just so they could say they've got one in every county. Is California
3:35
richer than your country? So California is obviously a single state in the US worth 4.1
3:41
trillion. That is crazy, which means that all of these red countries are poorer than California
3:46
The only country richer is Germany, 4.4 trillion. Even then, it's not by very much. That's insane
3:52
UK there at 3.3 trillion, France 3 trillion. We've got 2 trillion for Russia. Wow, that is crazy
3:59
Ooh, this isn't really a map, but Sir Christopher Wren's unrealized proposal for City of London
4:03
after the 1666 fire. So this is what he suggested they should rebuild it to look like, and this looks
4:09
really cool. So I looked in the comments, apparently this didn't happen at all, and it was rebuilt quite
4:13
similar, but just with not wood, because many rich and important people owned these specific areas
4:18
and they didn't want what land they had to be changed, or have a big road put through it, which
4:22
you know, it does make sense. Wow, that is a cool looking map. Population density of Africa. It looks
4:28
like fire. Editor Kai, can we get some like sizzling crispy noises? Oh yeah, look at that. Oh, that's
4:34
beautiful. Mm-hmm. Okay. South Africa, not as populated as I thought, you know. Look at that
4:40
Fair enough. Okay. Does get kind of busy around Tanzania, Kenya, those kind of areas. Very
4:45
populated up in areas like Nigeria and Niger, and then very quiet, understandably, throughout the
4:52
Sahara. But look at Egypt, everything following the Nile there from Cairo and Alexandria. Madagascar
4:58
also a lot more populated than you'd think, because, you know, kind of probably because of
5:02
the animation. You just assume it's all jungle and animals, but I reckon it's really not like
5:06
that these days. Yeah, this is from Madagascar. Probably a lot more of this now, but there are
5:10
still some very cool, pretty regions. I'd love to see these trees in person. And look how beautiful
5:14
that is as well. That looks amazing. North American territories that were once controlled by France
5:19
I had no idea France once had this amount of power. This was kind of 1600, 1700s. Wow, that is a huge
5:25
region. Google Street View 2024 versus 2014. Wow, they've come a long way in 10 years. So you can
5:31
seen 2014, most of Europe was covered, most of the USA was covered, but if we head up, ah, looks so
5:37
much more of South America, basically all of Europe now, India completely covered, was there any
5:43
coverage? Not nothing in India 10 years ago, but they have since managed to show every single street
5:48
in that country, basically. Wow, that's crazy, look at that. Oh, we haven't done this in ages, let's go
5:53
to a random area on Google Street View. Okay, off we go, oh, hello, this really does look just classic
5:59
indian doesn't it is it the panorama or are these faces actually this close together i need to move
6:05
over a bit so i can see yeah it was the panorama this fella in particular got done so dirty look at
6:11
that that's so sad and this guy oh look at the nice pretty colored fence that's delightful 1860
6:18
u.s presidential election all right this is interesting to look at so there was four different
6:22
candidates that actually won a bunch of areas i mean as long as i've been alive i can only remember
6:28
it being between two abraham lincoln winning in the north understandable that he wasn't very
6:32
popular in the south interesting to be able to see this data because it's obviously from so long ago
6:36
now oh what a 5 000 kilometer radius around paris actually looks like on a macarta map so this is
6:42
really interesting to see because obviously this is supposed to be a circled area centered around
6:46
paris but because you can't show a globe on a flat map you get this distortion instead i'm gonna have
6:51
to have a play around on true size all right we're grabbing china and we're doing a bit of this you
6:55
You ready? It even pokes around on the other side as well
6:59
Look at that. Map of Africa using ethnically drawn borders rather than those drawn by imperial powers
7:06
Well, that's very depressing to think about, isn't it? Look at this. So much diversity in culture that was..
7:12
Human settlements and stations in Antarctica. Okay, interesting. So there's actually quite a few generally spread around the coast
7:19
but there are a few people that have dipped in the middle. So China have a couple of stations
7:24
USA have got a big one japan belgium japan again russia norway sweden finland argentina That makes sense Obviously Argentina closest Ukraine Okay UK have got a couple of stations
7:36
Interesting, isn't it? What are they all up to? City of Chicago with one line
7:40
Whoa. Wait. So you're saying you've drawn all of this with one continuous line that just wiggles about
7:46
That is an enhance. Enhance. Oh my god. Yeah, you can see it continue
7:49
Look at that. So it goes from this block and connects at the bottom and then goes into the next one
7:54
Oh, what? This is kind of hurting my eyes to look at. This is crazy. National Tourism Organizations in Europe Country Logos. These are quite cool
8:04
I feel like England's is a bit boring. Yeah, I don't really like the look of that logo. Wales looks cool. Just got the Welsh dragon. That's epic
8:10
Ireland. Yeah, that's not bad. Northern Ireland. A little overly complicated. Not very pretty
8:16
Is it Scotland? Yes, fine. It's a bit boring. Let's have a look about Explore France. Okay
8:21
very dull. Switzerland, and they've got the T and the flag. I feel like that sounded better in their
8:26
head than it actually ended up looking. Visit Monaco. That's quite smart looking. I like that
8:30
one. San Marino. Okay. A bit corporate looking. Italy is very simple, but I guess it kind of works
8:37
Look at the Montenegros. That's kind of cool. Albania is a bit hard to look at
8:40
but with the right background. Bulgaria. I liked what they were going for. I'm being very picky
8:46
here. I'm not going to lie. There's a lot of cool ones. Visit Ukraine. Yeah. Belarus. That's just a
8:50
font that is available on microsoft word i used to always use this when i was like 12
8:57
one square mile of iowa 1848 to 2024 okay so this is what the area looked like in 1848 not very much
9:05
going on i think we're gonna see a big difference here 1872 okay let's just go back we've got a
9:10
very small amount of development in terms of this cool house that's popped up on the map and another
9:15
the one down the bottom 1902 okay right fair enough a little bit more info oh we have actual
9:22
satellite photography still not really much going on 1938 it's a lot of just fields isn't it we've
9:28
got some trees and stuff we are going to see some big differences right 955 961 there's a huge
9:33
housing district that's popped up 1974 hang on as the houses got a little bit more concentrated
9:38
and a little bit more development here we got some shops or big factories or something 1983
9:44
A lot more of the same. 1990 back to black and white. 2002 2024. Whoa. So the houses have doubled
9:52
over here and then we've got what could be schools, shops. That is crazy to look at. Wow. It's kind of
9:58
sad, isn't it? Thinking about the land disappear, but people also need houses at the same time. It
10:02
is interesting to look at. The blue countries use ISO 216 as their standard for paper size, which is
10:08
most commonly known as A4. I've heard of A4. You've probably heard of A4 paper. The red countries use
10:14
A-N-S-I, commonly known as the US letter size. Ah, okay. So if you're watching in the USA
10:20
you might not know what A4 paper is. This is A4 paper right here. I've never thought about it
10:25
before. So a few countries in North America and some South America don't use A4. Okay, interesting
10:30
What's this? Is this Philippines? They also use US letter size? China's normal GDP is larger than
10:35
30 Asian countries combined. Not just larger, but combined. That is crazy. 18.3 trillion. We saw
10:43
earlier in the video that the UK was on like three trillion. That's insane, isn't it? Look at that
10:48
Combined. China's economy outweighs the rest of Asia's. I mean, it outweighs most of the world
10:53
right? Earth's gravity isn't smooth at the surface, but it's stronger in some places than others
10:57
Wait, I don't understand this. So they're not saying this is what the earth actually looks like
11:01
They're saying that in certain regions, the gravity feels stronger. So does that mean if I
11:05
go over here in India, would I feel lighter when I'm walking around? I don't understand
11:11
Okay, so it's between 0.5 and 1% difference. So obviously you just wouldn't notice that
11:16
Ah, but you actually would weigh slightly less. Mass doesn't change, but weight does
11:21
Scales should be calibrated based on local gravity. Are my scales in the kitchen that Becky uses for bacon
11:26
calibrated to our local UK gravity? Surely not. What is going on
11:31
I'm blown away by this one. The tallest statues on every continent. Oh, here we go
11:35
So the tallest in North America is the Statue of Liberty. Probably the most famous on this map to me anyway
11:40
But I've heard it's actually kind of much smaller than you'd think 93 meters in Europe. It's sanctuary of christ the king
11:47
Which is in portugal. I've never even heard of this I thought this was christ the redeemer on first glance. It's 110 meters virgin mary
11:53
47 meters south america african renaissance monument only 52 meters, but a really epic statue
12:00
Like how absolutely epic does that look wait the tallest statue in oceania is 15 meters
12:06
How has nobody beaten that yet? It's a giant sheep. Oh my God, that's insane
12:11
Look at the size of it compared to a car. That's so tiny. I feel like if I stood up straight, I could be the tallest statue in Australia
12:17
And the tallest statue in Asia is by far the tallest in the world
12:22
Statue of Unity, 182 meters. Look how insane this looks. It looks like something from like Game of Thrones
12:28
Look at people sat on his toes. How Earth will look with current international borders in 250 million years
12:34
This is so interesting to think about, isn't it? Because like 250 million years is such an inconceivable amount of time
12:40
that the assumption is that humans will just not exist then. But with technology and what the super rich have got access to
12:46
you do wonder, will humans as we know them still be around? Because we're unlikely to keep evolving because of the way our life is now
12:53
So it's just interesting to think about. But yeah, basically all continents will collide forming the new Pangaea
12:58
Brazil will be squashed with Antarctica, which is crazy to think about
13:02
The Indian Sea is kind of the only ocean that'll still exist, excluding the big one that'll surround most of the Earth
13:09
Let's enhance, enhance, get a good look at Europe. Whoa, so Europe and Africa are just all squashed together
13:15
If we head over here, we've got Canada and Greenland squished up, that makes sense
13:19
But then we have, oh, look at that, the Atlantic Sea. Oh, that's so cool to think about
13:23
Atlantic Ocean is just a teeny tiny little sea now. And we have New York and the Republic of Congo, just a sea away from each other
13:31
Oh, that's insane. Oh, look at Namibia and Central America squashed up. There is no sign of the Caribbean though. That's sad. Lake Mexico. This is so weird. Who knows what life will be like here? I mean, presumably burning and dead. Google Street View. Google are constantly adding more countries to their street view. And as we can see, a lot of the earth is now covered, which is kind of insane to think about because, you know, our little cars have to drive around everywhere
13:58
Looks like basically all of Europe is covered now. Obviously, there'll be some countries where it's not every road. Russia, for example, very hard to track everywhere, but I think major roads are covered now. All of India as well, which is pretty huge. A lot of Africa still cannot be seen. A lot of Central Asia. A lot of South America now covered. That's very impressive. I love how we've got a border around Iceland because there's just not road-friendly roads throughout the middle of it. Yeah, it's really impressive how much of the earth is visible to anyone now
14:25
Luxembourg compared to other countries. Yeah, this is an interesting one. Obviously, Luxembourg is a small country on the grand scheme of things
14:31
But I always, when I first learned about it, thought of it as a little micro state like Liechtenstein
14:37
But you can see Liechtenstein is far, far more dinky than Luxembourg
14:41
And you can actually fit a bunch of small countries inside of it. Malta, for example. I've been to Malta
14:46
It didn't feel small. You kind of assume in your head you can just walk around these places
14:50
But you just forget how big the earth is. Even the small countries are large. You know you need transport to get around Malta So comparing that to Luxembourg that a large country Brazil five areas of equal population Ah that really interesting isn it Look at that I mean you see it with most country population density maps
15:05
Historically, people just settle around water. So for example, Egypt's population density is just the same shape as the Nile
15:12
Australia have basically everyone just following the East Coast. But I've never seen Brazil's before
15:17
Look how shallow this outer green line is. This is an equal population to not only this much thicker green line
15:24
but also this entire yellow one, which I guess is mainly Amazon rainforest
15:28
Whoa, countries where Wikipedia editors have been prosecuted. So is that Chinese Wikipedia editors have been prosecuted in China
15:36
or have people from other countries being prosecuted in these countries? Because that's crazy either way
15:41
The most overworked countries in the world. This is interesting. From what I know, I would have guessed Japan being on this list
15:47
but Japan's not even in the top. And actually, we've got Canada on here, which you really wouldn't think either
15:51
The stereotypes around Canada is everyone's kind of really chilled out, but here we are with very high average hours worked by employees
15:58
So I'm looking in the comments, a lot of people from Greece are saying they completely agree with this
16:02
It's pretty normalized to work more hours than you're actually paid for, which is obviously terrible
16:06
Poland's historical borders compared to today. Look at that, that's crazy. Poland used to have such a huge region and it's not like it's shrunk in the middle
16:15
It's shrunk from the east to the west. Yeah, that's really interesting. Percentage of people that identified as white British in 2021
16:20
you want. So the bluer it is, the whiter the area, and you can see that most of the UK is very white
16:26
at the moment. I mean, I've grown up my entire life in the north of England, which is a very
16:31
white area. Like, I lived here, which is a 95% white area, which is crazy, isn't it? People from
16:37
the south will be shocked by this, but in my primary school, everybody was white, and in my
16:41
secondary school, there was one black person. That's it. We didn't have anyone that was Asian
16:46
Almost everybody was white British. Obviously, as time goes on, everything will change, but yeah
16:50
for the most part the uk are very white we can see numbers are decreasing 1991 it was 94 2021 it's
16:56
74 obviously more diversity is always good percentage of adults getting less than seven
17:01
hours of sleep per day most of the us is getting less than seven hours per day but the darker
17:07
colors mean they're getting more than seven hours per day obviously people are different i know that
17:10
i myself kind of need eight good hours if i want to feel really healthy and refreshed but yeah it
17:15
looks like a lot of people are under sleeping oh this is the coolest geography info i've heard in
17:19
years in maori which is a language of the native people of new zealand the official name for france
17:25
is a wee wee the six different regions of asia age is obviously the largest continent in the world
17:31
so a lot of cultural diversity there southeast asia down here we've got like indonesia we've got
17:37
philippines those kind of places east asia apparently china mongolia the koreas and japan
17:42
but also taiwan quite a small region south asia central around india west asia kind of those
17:47
middle eastern areas central asia a bunch of the stands uzbekistan tajekistan that kind of thing
17:53
and russia gets its own spot which i guess makes sense russia does feel kind of the least asian
17:58
canada divided into four equally populated regions ah these are always so interesting look at this so
18:03
about eight and a half million people in each of these colored zones once again it just shows how
18:09
many people don't live anywhere obviously this is kind of hugely distorted in terms of scale because
18:14
this is right at the top of the earth so if we grab canner and we move it down you see how much
18:18
smaller these fiddly little islands actually are but even so this is still a huge area of land that
18:23
is not very populated at all are one of the five big cats in your country oh okay we got jaguars
18:28
leopards tigers lions basically none in europe obviously you do have the siberian tigers up in
18:34
russia this is really interesting big cats do spread a lot of the earth don't they obviously i'm assuming these days they're very low numbers but there's still a presence of some sort in africa
18:42
Nigeria is the only country that only has lions, which is interesting. Sunshine duration in hours per year, United States versus Europe
18:50
So what this shows us is the US get a lot more sun than we do. Obviously, I think Spain and Italy are kind of a similar level to most of the US
18:59
So this does make sense. But I don't know why does the UK get such low sunlight if Sweden and all of these areas in the east still get a decent amount
19:06
What's that about? It's like we've been targeted. What do you call a small piece of wood under the skin
19:10
This is 1950s versus 2016. Well, before looking at any data, I'd call it a spelk
19:16
which I don't think is a particularly common word. Oh, look at that
19:19
Literally the area I grew up in right here, they call it spelk. And then basically everywhere else in the UK and Ireland
19:26
they call it a splinter. That's so weird. Ah, but in 1950, it was a lot more diverse
19:31
Northeast still going strong on the spelk. Spelk is such a weird word
19:35
I've never thought about it before. Of course, splinter makes more sense. But apparently 1950s, it used to be all kinds of things
19:41
Just splints, spliles, spiels, slivers, apparently. Spools. Oh, this is so interesting
19:47
Makes me weirdly proud to be from the northeast, even though it's just a word
19:51
Oh, here we go. Actual size of countries compared to traditional maps. Obviously, if you've never thought about it before, the earth is a globe
19:58
It's super round. So it's hard to evenly show everything on a traditional map. And you end up with major distortion around the top and the bottom
20:04
And even some shrinkage in the middle. But this map tries to more accurately portray things
20:08
It really unheightens how much of the Earth is ocean, like basically entire half of the globe is just the Pacific Ocean
20:14
But we can see a shriveled up Canada, we can see that Northern Europe does shrivel up a bit as well
20:19
It's so interesting to look at. Everything's so much more curvy in reality as well, whereas on this traditional projection, everything's kind of lined up nicely
20:27
And look how different Antarctica is portrayed as well. Wow, elevation maps of the world. So this is Asia
20:32
You can see that kind of around the Himalayas and that sort of area, there's huge evolution, which does make a lot of sense
20:38
South America has huge elevation around Chile, and also basically just all along the West
20:43
North America, a similar thing. I assume that's following the same tectonic plate lines as South America
20:48
Europe, pretty flat for the most part. Does get a bit spiky around the Alps and whatnot
20:53
Africa, also surprisingly flat. I suppose a lot of this is Sahara Desert
20:57
Then we do have huge elevation here. Areas like Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, really interesting
21:03
And very pretty maps, I may add. We've had lots of population density maps this month
21:07
So let's end on one in specific countries. In France, you can see that basically everyone lives in Paris
21:12
In Germany, you can see it's a bit more spread about, but obviously major cities is where you've got all of the spikes
21:17
Italy, a much, much more even spread, actually. There are far more tall spikes that aren't in the big cities
21:23
I guess just because Italy's got a lot of very nice areas to live. Turkey, Istanbul really dominating
21:28
and then kind of quiet a lot of the other places. England, another much bigger urban spread
21:33
No one's got huge disproportionately spikes. even london's isn't that much bigger than places like birmingham and stuff next up we have denmark
21:41
whoa copenhagen really dominating there norway quite evenly spread a lot around oslo how badass
21:47
do these maps look by the way they also like structures you see in a lot of the rings and
21:51
stuff we've got spin nice even spread whoa where's this area it's akoruna which i haven't heard of
21:58
it must be quite a small but very densely populated area next up switzerland i kind of all just
22:04
spread about. Portugal, Lisbon, obviously dominating a lot there. And then finally
22:09
Romania. Yeah, all kind of quiet in Romania, apart from Bucharest, which got a bit of a spike
22:13
Mexico and Greenland swap in the Mercator projection. Look how teeny and tiny and shriveled
22:17
Greenland just got, and now Mexico's going all big and ginormous. Wait, wait, wait. Oh
22:22
there we go So is that suggesting that they are somewhat roughly the same size I suppose yeah Yeah look at that Look at them like next to each other Yeah they kind of like the same kind of landmass I think Greenland slightly got the edge A section of a hand map I completed recently
22:38
Edinburgh, Scotland. Oh, my God. Enhance, enhance. Whoa, you... That's actually insane
22:43
That's drawn by hand with a little pencil. That is actually crazy, you know
22:47
You've done such a good job. Is this Arthur's seat, I'm assuming? It's a nice spot. Argentine Railway Network, 1990 versus 2014
22:53
So the railway network's much more scarce. I have no idea why that is. All right, according to this Argentinian
22:57
the railway networks were nationalized, so the government were in charge of them, but the government just didn't keep up with it
23:02
and everything ended up kind of in disarray. How curved is Chile? Okay, I mean, I never actually thought about it
23:07
Do you know what? It's quite curved. I was thinking of the flat longness
23:11
but never the curviness. This is what ChatGPT considers the most notable thing
23:15
about each country in Europe. Ooh, enhance enhance. Ireland have got Guinness Beer
23:19
The UK have got the Beatles. Geothermal hot springs in Iceland. fjords in norway ikea in sweden northern lights in finland i mean yeah this all sounds about right
23:28
so far ballet for russia hmm not sure chernobyl disaster dracula eiffel tower windmills october
23:35
first pizza this is quite interesting i suppose quite a bit of it does align with kind of the
23:40
first few things you think of whoa the himalayan weather wall so it's crazily hot 40 degrees in
23:46
india bangladesh myanmar but that heat is just blocked by the himalayan mountains but it's not
23:50
just blocked only around the mountains it stops the heat getting into any of this vast area of
23:54
china that's crazy but hang on because heat's covered from the sun which is like way higher
23:58
than the himaly oh i don't get it the korean war 1950 to 1953 yeah i think i've seen this one before
24:05
so you can see that north korea managed to occupy a load of south korea but then wait for it and
24:11
there we go south korea start fighting back and they like take over a bunch of north korea oh
24:16
goodness me but then north korea start fighting back again and it's just back and forth over and
24:20
and over again. I think technically they are still at war to this day, but these days they just kind
24:24
of look at each other angrily from each side of a fence. We have 8 billion people now, so where do
24:28
they live? Well, there's 1.4 billion just in India, now officially the most populated country, second
24:33
to China, 1.426. That's nearly 40% right there. Asia really dominating the global populations at
24:38
nearly 60%. Then we've got 18% in Africa, which is still an absolute ton. It's interesting how
24:44
South America, a pretty large continent, only contributes to 5.5% of global populations. Estimated
24:49
migration of early homo sapiens out of africa to the rest of the world okay so each number represents
24:54
a thousand years we need an enhance enhance so 200 000 years everyone kind of started in this what
24:59
is now ethiopia and then slowly since then we've migrated out of africa which is crazy to think
25:04
of isn't it and it makes all the horrible colonial things that happen to africa so much worse because
25:08
we've started in africa ourselves but yeah it took 50 000 years for homo sapiens to make it to the
25:12
bottom of africa and it was 45 000 years ago that we made it to central europe 65 000 years took to
25:18
who get to Australia. And then, of course, obscure islands like New Zealand have only had habitation for the last 1,000 years
25:24
which is crazy to think about those islands just sat there with no one knowing they existed
25:28
for millions and millions of years. What year is it right now? Wait, hang on
25:31
Are you telling me that not every country in the world thinks it's 2023 right now
25:35
I mean, it's obvious when you think about it, but why have I only just found out that not everyone's using the same system
25:40
So in Japan, it's year five. What? And to all of Northern Africa, it's 1444
25:46
It's 2015 in Ethiopia. What? Relief map of San Marino, one of the smallest countries in the world
25:53
but it's not actually that small to be fair. It looks small for me, but let's compare it to London
25:57
For a long time, I thought it was dinky. But you can see San Marino covers multiple areas of London
26:02
Anyway, it is mainly a big, cool, epic castle on a hill
26:06
That is unreal. I'm excited to go to San Marino at some point. It looks like a really cool place
26:10
Today, I bring you Large Zealand, stolen from Facebook page. Tourist map of the world
26:15
Why have they made New Zealand just absolutely ginormous? I don't get it
26:20
A map of submarine cables connecting British Empire in 1902. Jeez, that must have took some doing. That is a bloody long way
26:27
What were they used for then? Just allowing submarines to follow. According to the comments, there were actual electrical cables that could send information
26:34
1902, who knew? The most watched movies in Zimbabwe in 2015. Okay, it was Eye in the Sky Everywhere Other Than Here where it was Spectre
26:42
That is a really specific map. Map depicting the changes in Costa Rica's forest coverage over time
26:47
This is interesting. So in 1940, 75% of the country was forest
26:51
That's an incredible, amazing place. But then it did start decreasing as humans did their thing
26:55
And it got down to 31 and then 21% in 1987. But from there, Costa Rica's having a huge push to restore their forests
27:03
And by 2010, it was back to 50% of the country, which is epic to see. I made a chart showing the world's 25 most populated islands
27:10
Oh, go on then. So the most populated island is Java in Indonesia with 151 million people
27:16
Okay, then we have Honshu in Japan, 100 million. Then Great Britain's third
27:20
Jeez, 66 million. So it's based on population rather than size, remember
27:25
Okay, then Luzon, Philippines, Sumatra, and Indonesia. Scrolling out, anyone else interesting
27:30
Long Island, USA makes it onto the list with 8 million people. An island also makes it onto the list, 7 million
27:36
That's a lot less than 66 million in Great Britain. An interesting map I found of World Cloud Coverage
27:41
Ooh, that explains a lot. That's cool, though. That's dramatic. Roman Empire's border defences in 150 by National Geographic
27:50
Ooh. All right, all I know about is Hadrian's Wall, this tiny little bit here
27:54
because it's just quite near to where I grew up. But you can see they had so much of Europe on lockdown
27:59
I mean, they really knew what they were doing, the Romans, to be fair. Not saying they're good, but yeah, it's quite the empire
28:04
Satellite map of Chad. Why does it look so much like a person
28:08
Like I could accept all of this, but the actual I in the correct place, that's too much
28:13
Come on. New York versus Los Angeles size comparison. So all of New York manages to just sit comfortably right there
28:19
Oh, that's cool. Hawaii population density. So like a lot of places, basically everyone lives on the main island
28:25
That's a really nice, pretty looking little map. Country names in Finnish
28:29
Okay, let's butcher some pronunciation. Norway is Neuer. Sweden is Rusi. Finland's Suomi
28:34
wait uk is u.s wildlife map work in progress look at the creature suggestions wow that is
28:45
gonna look incredible when it's done what a very talented artist percentage of urban tree covering
28:50
european capitals wow 72 for norway's oslo that is a lot of trees switzerland also pretty high
28:56
nicosia cyprus four percent is the lowest but i imagine cyprus is just not a very tree friendly
29:02
environment but perhaps i'm wrong there you can see for london it's 21 considering these are all
29:06
capital cities they're not actually too bad the entire coast of bosnia 20 kilometers yeah i can't
29:13
understand how this is a thing it's absolutely mad so this is the area that they're referring to
29:17
and if you zoom out you can what how did this happen croatia have this whole bit here they even
29:23
have this little separate bit there and i only just learned recently that they also have these
29:28
islands what do we have an explanation in the comments okay here's a rough explanation if you
29:32
want to pause it there's far too many words for me to say in the video countries where cheek
29:37
kissing is a common greeting ah i hate this so it's like the hi how are you it's not very common
29:44
in the uk you can see it's not highlighted but i have had to do it to like an estranged
29:48
auntie a couple of times in my life actually making contact with someone ah apparently it's
29:53
It's pretty common, a lot of Central and South America, Eastern Europe, Northern Africa, Spain, Italy
29:58
all over the place to be honest. looks like without ice oh this is entertaining look at that so when you're in hansen hans you
30:04
can recognize that antarctica shape you know particularly this squirrely bit here that points
30:08
up to argentina so if global sea levels keep rising this is actually what antarctica could
30:13
look like one day say whatever you want but that would make a great fantasy map you know it does
30:17
look like something you'd see from a game or a story vast stretches of the world are now below
30:21
the replacement rate you will probably live to see humanity's population peak oh that's very
30:25
interesting to think about so what this means is in these red countries more people are dying per
30:29
year the new people are being born because just generally people are having slightly less children
30:34
than they used to there is however a big exception in africa where just the population is going crazy
30:39
and there's loads of economic reasons for this but it's so interesting to think that we might
30:43
be alive to witness the most humans that will ever exist at one time christianity in the us by
30:48
county so christianity is pretty popular still in the united states so we can split it into sub
30:53
categories of catholics protestants and even mormons so the mormons have got this area on
30:58
lockdown. So what state is that? Is it Utah? It is Utah. Utah and Idaho. But then most of the US
31:03
Christians are Protestants. I'll be honest, I don't really know the difference in terms of beliefs and
31:08
whatnot. Oh, this could be interesting about the video. How have I only just learned this? Curabas
31:12
is the only country that spans all four hemispheres. I've been learning geography trivia for about four
31:18
years now. How have I only just discovered this? That's incredible. Oh, and also it says Ecuador
31:23
Ecuador is not anywhere near Curabas. It's like all the way over here. Ecuador is just the word for
31:27
equator in spanish women's rights in the past 100 years this is an enhance enhance okay so
31:33
summarizing we can see there is a lot more green so that's fantastic but isn't this crazy so
31:38
australia 1923 women were emancipated i don't know what that means i assume it means have basically
31:43
equal rights yeah free from restraint control or power however men were still officially the head
31:49
of the household we can say that still today there are a bunch of countries in the middle east and
31:53
Africa where forced marriage is still allowed? Like that is just awful, isn't it? Let's be honest
31:58
Like religious connotations or not, that could never be acceptable. What do you call Istanbul
32:03
So most countries in Europe call it Istanbul. Greece and Cyprus still call it Constantinople
32:09
Constantinople is what it used to be called. Russia and a few other eastern countries go with
32:12
Syrigrad. Syrigrad, it sounds kind of cool. Has Russia ever been at war with you? Basically
32:18
every country in Europe says yes, other than Iceland, Ireland, is that Belgium, or each of the
32:24
teeny tiny places, Andorra, San Marino, Rome, Monaco, Lichtenstein, I'm guessing that is, but generally
32:30
speaking, yes they have, oh this is an absolute geography classic, this is Pluto if it was over
32:34
the top of Australia, hence why in the early 2000s they concluded Pluto's not allowed to be a planet
32:40
anymore, it's just a big rock, sorry Pluto. British English versus American English, what is taught in
32:46
schools. So yeah, there's a few differences between American and British. One of the classics
32:50
is in the UK, we spell colour like this, and the US spell it without the U. It seems like generally
32:55
they just simplify a few words, make them a bit more phonetic. But anyway, as we can see, the vast
32:58
majority of the world teaches British English, with exceptions in the usual places, United States
33:03
obviously, and Central and a lot of South America. Saudi Arabia, always looking for the opportunity to
33:08
mix it up a bit. And Japan too, which is quite interesting. The United States of Dollar General
33:12
dollar general is a discount store in america somewhat like a pound shop that you would get in
33:17
the united kingdom and as you can see they have got the east of the united states on lockdown that
33:22
is a incredible amount of stores like that's ridiculous when you actually think about it but
33:26
it is interesting that they've stuck to one side i know that a lot of people don't live here but
33:31
you would still think it'd be a bit more dense here but i suppose maybe california people are
33:35
a bit richer maybe there's less demand for a dollar store but i take back the words that just
33:39
just came out of my mouth because there's a lot of poverty in California, isn't there? I reckon the
33:43
business just started over here and they're just expanding slowly outwards. Bro, I'm in Mississippi
33:47
and there are sometimes two dollar generals in one small town because why drive an extra three
33:51
minutes when you don't have to? They recently built two roundabouts near me about a mile apart
33:55
each with a combination of family dollar slash dollar general stores. Pretty sure you can see
33:59
one from the other. They're the Walmarts for places that are too small for a Walmart. Yeah
34:03
I want to know how many stores this actually is. 20,000 stores
34:08
That's crazy. This is interesting. Amount of active businesses older than 1,700 in every country in the world
34:15
I mean, this is not every country. It's Europe with a few bonuses on the side. Also, why is the map not being colored in
34:20
This is very unappealing to look at. I know I'm just sat here on my high horse, not actually creating any of this content
34:26
But you could have colored it in. So a lot of the numbers are pretty low
34:30
Germany, actually really high. 1, 8, 6. In the United Kingdom, quite high on average
34:35
43 businesses that are over 300 years old. Look at Japan, though
34:40
532. Do you know what? I think this has got to be based on so many different discrepancies
34:44
It is interesting, though. Five oldest companies in the world are all in Japan. In fact, the study found that 56% of all companies older than 200 years are from Japan
34:53
This person pointed out that there are hundreds or thousands of pubs in the UK that have existed for hundreds of years
34:58
However, not continuously, which is an important distinction. So all of the companies on the list have had the same family or lineage the entire time
35:06
It's actually really interesting. I just wish it was called it in. China's territorial disputes, 1949 versus 2024
35:12
So basically, in 1949, they were kicking off at everybody around them. Whereas now they've chilled it out a bit
35:17
They still have disputes with Japan. I think that's around some of the sea and fishing areas and stuff
35:21
I know there's disputes around India and the Himalayas. I didn't know about Vietnam, though
35:26
And interesting that Philippines and Malaysia are involved. European countries where the capital is also the most visited city
35:32
That's very interesting. So, for example, London is definitely by far the most visited city in the United Kingdom
35:38
Let's see if we can name what the most visited cities are in the ones that are not capitals
35:42
So, for Turkey, it'll be Istanbul because their capital is Ankara. A lot of people just think it's Istanbul
35:47
Poland, so their capital is Warsaw. I don't know what their most visited city is
35:53
It's Krakow. Okay, a former capital. And home to a famous dragon
35:56
All right, Spain, well, their capital is Madrid, but I'm guessing Barcelona's most visited
36:02
Switzerland have some discrepancies on what their capital is anyway, so we'll skip that one
36:06
And Croatia, what's the capital of Croatia? Is it Prague or is it Zagreb
36:10
I'm going to say it's Prague. Dubrovnik is actually most visited in Croatia because of its rich history and cultural sites
36:18
Wow, it does look delightful, to be fair. Look at this. Ooh, a bit busy for my liking
36:23
Well, look at this. the 2014 Romanian presidential elections and the Ottoman Europe of 1876. So you can see that even
36:29
though it's like 150 years ago, the areas that were within the Ottoman Europe voted for social
36:35
democracy, whereas people outside of it voted for conservatism. And you can see it's not just
36:39
coincidence. That is a really similar line, like particularly this region. It's just fascinating
36:44
the long-term historical systemic impacts that politics and land has had. Like the people that
36:50
have made these votes won't even know that they'll have been historically influenced. Leaked locations
36:53
of all Volkswagen cars in Europe. Oh, they leaked! Who leaked it
36:57
But you can see that they are absolutely dominated in Germany, which does make sense
37:01
and they are pretty popular basically everywhere else too. Oh my God, so that's London
37:06
That is a crazy amount of influence, isn't it? It's basically multiple cars on every street
37:10
Scroll, scroll, scroll. Look at this. Imagine being a senior person in that company
37:14
and knowing how much influence you actually have. It's crazy. Worship attendants. People who attend worship services at least monthly
37:20
So in the UK, it's 20%. That's actually higher than I thought. Island is very high. 37 I visited that island last year and I did get that impression highest is Poland actually which is 61 I suppose when you playing juges and you in poland there are little churches everywhere russia is down to 17 i thought that would be higher where the lowest we have a few 11 such as sweden and i
37:40
think that is the lowest one population change in britain ireland 1821 to 2019 you can see it's gone
37:45
up almost everywhere so england used to be 10 million people now it's 56 million people that
37:49
explains why I'm always stuck in traffic now. Ireland's population actually has gone down a bit
37:54
6.8 million. Now, I've looked at this map before, and I ignorantly said, oh, they must have moved
37:58
away, but it was actually due to, like, serious famine generally caused by the English as well
38:04
so not ideal. World calendar systems, this actually blows my mind that every country isn't just
38:09
following the same year. You see that most countries are just in 2025 now, but for Northern
38:14
Africa, some of them at least, apparently, it's 1446. I can't get my head around how this works
38:18
2017 in Ethiopia? How did they end up just a bit out? 1946 in India? Everyone's on different systems
38:25
following different things, but it still makes no sense to me. I imagine that so many of these countries like China, they must generally have to kind of follow the 2025 calendar anyway
38:34
just in terms of their exports. Population growth by continent, this was in the year 2024
38:38
so North America went up by 4.6 million people, which is not a lot when you consider how many
38:43
people are actually in this region, like literally hundreds of millions. Brazil, 2.6 million, once
38:47
again that's very very low europe actually went down by 1.2 million so all three of those continents
38:52
very very stable in terms of population now 600k for oceania is nothing but it's not a hugely
38:58
populated area anyway asia went up by 28 million which sounds a lot but what's surprising is
39:02
normally on population related stuff asia absolutely dominates but as we can see going back to that
39:07
earlier map africa's population has actually increased the most 35 million and that's probably
39:11
going to keep going up for quite a few more years before it starts slowing down ah i scratched the
39:16
world map onto a banana. That is the most incredible thing I've ever seen. I do feel like
39:21
more effort went into the Northern Hemisphere than the Southern. It kind of feels like you've
39:26
just done some triangles for South America and Africa. Whereas like, look at Norway and a lot
39:31
of effort's gone into Canada too. Yeah, you got lazy there. You've let me down actually. Bro map
39:35
the dude map, how Americans refer to their bros. Okay, let's enhance, enhance. So bro is pretty
39:41
dominant phrasing in Texas and the surrounding area. Cool. Then it moves to Buddy over in the
39:46
north. This is an amazing map. All right, what next do we got? We got Dude. Ooh, a lot of Dude
39:51
Californians like Dude. That makes sense. A lot of the West like Dude. Central Texas are not into
39:57
Dude. We have Fella popping up. Who said Fella? A few areas of the south are into Fella. All right
40:02
And then we got Pal right up in the north. We got kind of maybe north, south Dakota area over here
40:07
Hey, pal. Hey, dude. Cut that out. Don't leave that in. Liberation Day. Trump's tariffs on Europe
40:12
Yeah, this stuff's crazy. So most of the European Union has been hit with a 20% tariff
40:17
A few areas like Serbia, 37%. The UK has been niced, I guess, with 10%
40:22
It is insane the global chaos that Donald Trump is able to cause in such a short period of time
40:27
Oh, Tesla's declining Europe. Difference in registrations between January 2024 and January 2025
40:33
You can see across the board, numbers are down a lot. UK is down by 18%, but that isn't actually that high compared to a lot of other countries
40:40
We've got down by 75% in Spain. And a lot of Scandinavian areas are around 40%, 60% for Germany, 63% for France
40:50
I mean, I love the Tesla brand. I bought a car in 2019, so I was pretty early on it
40:54
And it is just so sad to see the negative impact that Elon is having these days
40:59
He really is crazy and is causing so much harm worldwide. GPS data from thousands of Dutch cars during summer holidays
41:05
Oh, that's cool, man. I've never seen anything like this. So it shows people from the Netherlands going on holiday, exploring other areas of Europe
41:11
This mainland Europe area is just so accessible. It's such an amazing opportunity to travel to so many countries within a pretty short amount of time
41:19
Me and Becky are planning on going inter-railing at some point. It's going to be incredible. So it looks like a lot of holidays are just doing road trips where, you know, they head to Paris
41:26
and then they head further down into Spain afterwards. Also got quite a few people crossing Switzerland and heading into Italy
41:32
I bet that is an amazing road trip. Forest loss in the United States over time
41:36
Well, this looks depressing. So way back in 1620, about half of the country was just forest
41:41
which is insane to think about. And then in we came and, oh, look, we're ruining it
41:45
1850, already a lot of it has been chopped down. Very sad to think about
41:49
Think of all the wildlife. Think of all the Native Americans that were there. And by 1920, things are pretty scarce
41:54
I didn't know that Florida was so forest heavy. So that's quite interesting to look at
41:58
So yeah, you can see a lot of deforestation has happened in that time. Obviously, this area, I suppose, is just too hot for forest to begin with
42:05
Concentration of castles in Europe. There are a lot of castles in Europe, it turns out
42:10
Like, even in the UK, which is quite sparsely populated on this map
42:14
that is a lot of castles still. They're all over the place. I mean, I've seen a few castles in the UK in my time
42:20
and they're not really ginormous castles like this. They're more kind of walls that used to be cool castles
42:26
and that's what I assume a lot of these are. But wow, look at this
42:29
Look how many castles there are in France. That's absolutely crazy. And then you can see it kind of just continues all the way into Germany and a lot of other countries as well
42:38
Look at how many castles are in Italy. Far fewer castles in Spain and Portugal, which is interesting to see
42:43
Though quite a chunk of them around here. I wonder why that is. The end of natural population growth
42:48
Year in which deaths started to outnumber are expected to outnumber births
42:53
Oh. So yeah, if you don't know, world's populations are slowing down
42:57
Overall, less people are reproducing. producing although there are some countries like a lot of ones in africa where the population is
43:02
increasing a lot still so all of these yellow countries which is a lot of europe you see
43:06
russia's obviously there they are officially having more people die than are being born so
43:11
their population is slowing down we can actually see if we enhance enhance that germany and also
43:18
czechia and then is that hungary i think their populations have been slowing down since 1990 so
43:23
that's a while ago then if we look at the other blue areas a lot of these are gonna start slowing
43:27
down sometime between 2021 and 2050. And then, as I said, a lot of these African countries and
43:32
Australia, which is interesting, I didn't know that, their population still must be increasing quite a bit. So it won't be until 2100 onwards that they start reporting a deficit. But it is
43:42
very interesting to see that the population is kind of getting to a peak. Like I think I saw
43:46
somewhere that people think it's going to probably get to about 10 billion. And then after that point
43:51
it's going to just start very slowly going down. So a lot of you watching and myself, hopefully
43:55
will probably exist to witness the most humans that will ever exist on planet earth kind of crazy
44:01
thing about map of the gambia the weirdest shaped country in the world yeah this is so strange it
44:07
looks like an intestine but basically gambia is over in west africa and it is completely surrounded
44:13
by senegal and then a little bit of the north atlantic ocean i think the borders generally
44:17
followed the river for a while but isn't that just a really wild country shape it looks like
44:22
part of the colon. That's my first thought as well. I personally think Tajikistan has the weirdest
44:27
shape. Oh, go on. And I can't actually visualize that. It is a weird shape. You know, all of this
44:32
up here, but it doesn't look like a colon, does it? Nah, I think the Gambia wins. Countries where
44:36
less than 1% of the population are immigrants. So it's quite a few massive countries, which I
44:41
suppose actually makes sense. This is weird. It's kind of thrown me off. Does Europe fit in up here
44:46
It feels like Africa's too high when I just see these countries. Legal left hand turns at red
44:50
like state by state. What? I don't even know what that means. So for most areas of the US
44:55
left turns on red from one street into one streets are permitted Okay A few states don allow left turns when you on red at all Wait you can actually do a left turn when there a red light
45:07
Or does it mean you can do it when it turns green? I'm confused
45:12
1936 election. Whoa. Roosevelt absolutely dominated. That is a hell of a landslide
45:19
I don't even know who Landon is. I guess that makes sense. Etymology of state names
45:23
Ah, this is interesting. So all of the green states, their name comes from something related
45:29
to the Native Americans. So for example, Texas. Let's look into that one. It originates from the
45:33
Cado Indian word, Tayshia, meaning friends or allies. The Spanish who initially explored and
45:39
colonized the area adopted this term when interacting with the Cado. Right, sounds a
45:43
little bit ironic. Then obviously everywhere that was discovered first, basically. These all have
45:48
British etymology. American, which is an interesting one, all the way up the top. Is that Washington
45:52
So I guess it's named after an American. Is that the logic there? Yellow is from Spanish colonialism
45:58
Blue is French. They managed three. Greek? Where's the purple one? Oh, this little fella
46:02
I don't even know who that is. Rhode Island. That makes sense. And Polynesian is Hawaii
46:07
That also makes sense geographically. Sex ratio in Europe. This is women per 100 men
46:13
So in these kind of areas, there are about 120 women per every 100 men, which is interesting
46:20
I wonder why that is. I actually have no idea. Over in Norway and Sweden and also Iceland, it's down to below 100 per 100
46:28
But then in the UK, actually it splits up. So we can see specifically in this area of Scotland, there are slightly more women than men
46:35
But from the majority of the UK, it's about 50-50. This is really interesting data
46:39
Ah, this is a really interesting comment. So the map isn't age specific. And because women generally live longer than men, and this map includes those elderly women
46:48
that's what pushes the data off of it. Where if you were looking at a younger age group from like 40 and below, it's 50-50 in most places
46:55
Countries with recorded temperature extremes above 48 degrees Celsius and under minus 48 degrees
47:02
Or even both, which is interesting. So let's look at both first. So some areas of India have had both super hot and super cold temperatures
47:10
Same with Canada and the US, which is very interesting. I suppose it kind of makes sense in these very large countries where they have all sorts of different altitudes and stuff
47:18
whereas on average like most of europe is all kind of neutral i can remember in the uk it has
47:23
got up to i think 42 degrees where where i'm from and that felt absolutely mental so 48 is crazy hot
47:30
it's interesting that italy actually has both i'm curious why that is there's a lot of blue obviously
47:34
further north which makes sense and then sahara desert is obviously gonna have a lot of red too
47:39
percentage of people who have read a book in the past 12 months all right uk isn't included i'll be
47:45
honest, I have not read a book in the last 12 months. Last book I read was Harry Potter and the
47:51
Chamber of Secrets, I think, and that was probably three years ago now. Book still very popular over
47:55
in Sweden, Norway, and Finland, though, up at 70%. It is interesting how countries seem to group
48:01
together a little bit. I suppose culturally it makes sense, but a lot of these numbers pretty
48:05
low. We have 30% is the lowest over in Romania. That is not many people at all. Nearest country
48:11
to everywhere in the USA. I've seen this a lot of times, but it's always really interesting. I love
48:15
how Cuba manages to squeeze in this teeny tiny bit here. And then the Bahamas, which is, you know
48:20
such a random country, but it is actually technically closest to such a huge chunk of
48:25
the country. But Mexico and Canada really do dominate. And then Russia and Canada squeeze in
48:30
with Alaska, which is quite cool. And then also Bahamas is Curabas. Oh, here we go. Use of dinner
48:35
versus tea versus supper in the uk all right so where i grew up we called our evening meal tea and
48:42
we called our noon meal dinner whereas where becky my girlfriend grew up she calls her evening meal
48:47
dinner so over the years that's caused a bit of confusion for us and thinking about it i think
48:51
i've just accepted her way of life and i now call evening meal dinner and the lunchtime meal lunch
48:56
my mom did say supper but it was not the evening meal it was like a snack before bed at like i don't
49:02
at 8 p.m. So we can see that I guess the majority of the north they go with tea. It's interesting
49:07
there's a tiny portion of southern England that go with supper but really when we look at the
49:11
whole thing it's kind of just a bit all over the place isn't it? Countries are at war with Bulgaria
49:16
since 1944. Wait what? Why is basically everyone at war with Bulgaria? Did they not officially
49:21
end their place in World War II? I can't actually find an answer to this. Can anybody explain in the
49:27
comments? Oh this is interesting. The U.S. buy places with similar climates. So if that extreme
49:31
temperature map earlier this breaks it down even further so you see this northeast area of the us
49:36
is a bit colder and has similar temperatures to places like poland to the baltics to south
49:42
finland but then further in the south it's a bit warmer we've got southern china we got southern
49:47
brazil that is getting pretty spicy we got southern japan and then as we move over to the west things
49:53
get very hot so this area of the us is the same temperature as cairo and the sahara whoa yeah this
49:59
country's really all over it's absolutely mad map of europe 13 million years ago wow this is so
50:05
interesting to look at it's as if you've just used the liquify tool from photoshop everything's just
50:09
slightly distorted if you look carefully you can see modern country outlines so you can see that
50:14
just water was way lower and therefore far more of the british isles were exposed and this point
50:19
in time even though uk didn't exist it was connected to the rest of europe spain's kind
50:23
of cut in half this is a wacky shape down here i don't know what's going on italy also looks very
50:28
different. And we can see huge chunks of water here in what is now Romania, Hungary, those sort
50:34
of areas. Very interesting. The word mother in different European languages. Okay, so in the UK
50:39
it's mother or mom. In Wales, it's mom. That's what I say. In Germany, it's mutter. In Netherlands
50:44
it's mother or mama. In Luxembourg, it's mom. In France, it's miré or mamá. In Spain, it's
50:49
madri or mamá. In Portugal, it's me or mamá. In Italy, it's madre or mamá. In Poland, it's
50:55
Matka or Mama. In Ukraine, it's Mamu or Mama. In Bulgaria, it's Muka or Mama. In Serbia
51:00
it's Maika or Mama. And in Germany, it's Ann. Ooh, this is good. The longest place names in
51:06
Europe. Okay, so Iceland have Svalbard, Rostrast, Sandar, Hupur, Rupur. No, we have a place called
51:12
Krenbergsundsodagruten. Finland, they've got an area called Ertelsipurteritsipullulite Poland have got a place called
51:24
Germany have got Spain have an area called And Wales have a place called
51:39
Okay, the world map as issued by the
51:50
Brazilian government. Whoa. So they put Brazil in the center because on most world maps, it's like
51:56
the UK is actually in the middle. And then they've also flipped it upside down. So South
52:01
Paul's at the top. You know what? I always love an upside down map where the text is actually the
52:05
correct way around. It just really throws you off. I know it makes perfect logical sense, but it's
52:10
just crazy seeing how different everything looks. So the reason it's upside down is because Brazil
52:14
is mainly in the Southern Hemisphere. So it sort of puts it more naturally into the center. This is
52:18
what a world map would look like, by the way, if New Zealand was in the middle. There's the little
52:22
dinky fella Crazy to visualize The percentage of homeowners from each state that always lock their door Okay so my door is like permanently locked but I know a lot of my family members if they in the house they just leave the door freely unlocked And it actually does seem quite common looking at this statistics We got kind of
52:37
three quarters of people on average would lock their doors, which is quite a big chunk of people
52:42
just leaving their houses open. And over in North Dakota, 48%, literally over half of the people
52:48
keep their doors unlocked. 93% over in... what state is that? Don't tell me. Is it Alabama
52:54
It's Georgia. Okay, Alabama's this one. So I assume Georgia's just got a higher crime rate, maybe
52:58
The most popular browser in 2012. Okay, we've seen this before, but it's a classic
53:02
So you can see a lot of the world was using Internet Explorer
53:06
Chrome was kind of coming in. It was dominating South America already. Firefox popular in Europe and Africa, which is interesting
53:13
And then Opera even getting the number one spot. Whereas in 2025, it's basically Google Chrome everywhere
53:19
Excluding, is that South Sudan? Which isn't marked on the map. Safari for Lithuania and then Firefox
53:25
Where is that? Is it Georgia? It's Armenia. That's so interesting. But yeah, crazy to see how successful Google Chrome has been
53:32
Particularly given the fact that on most Windows computers, you have to actively download Chrome
53:37
It's not like it's installed already. It's time for our annual land doesn't vote moment
53:41
Canada's 2025 general election. Okay, so this is Canada and this is, you know
53:45
which district was won by which party. But then if we don't put size into account
53:51
it's actually based on numbers. which I think is what this is doing, you can see that the results are quite a lot different
53:56
It does seem mental that it's not based on number of individuals, as opposed to just where a lot of individuals do and don't live
54:03
I know the UK has this constant argument as well. Where did Jesus' disciples go after this picture
54:08
Ah, here's a brand new map. I've never seen anything like this. So here's all the lads all sat on one side of the table
54:14
Seems very inefficient, but whatever. And then here's the map of where they all went
54:19
So everybody's starting in Jerusalem. him joseph made his way to wales fair play joseph anyone else go quite far we've got james is over
54:27
in spain a lot of people sort of sticking around turkey and that sort of area whoa where's thomas
54:32
gone thomas has slid off the side of the map he's off to india i guess eligible electors by region
54:37
for the next pope so our time of recording we've already had a u.s pope appointed but pretty
54:42
interesting to see all of the eligible candidates i've never really looked into how it all worked
54:47
so i didn't know popes were elected i kind of thought you were born into it kind of like a monarchy. I suppose that's stupid though. Literally could be any continent. Doctors can't refuse an
54:54
abortion in these countries. Sweden, Finland, Czechia, Bulgaria, literally only four European
54:59
countries. Kind of mental, you know. So many countries, including the one I'm in, a doctor
55:04
can say, no, sorry, I know it's your body, but I'm deciding this one. Okay, apparently it might
55:09
not be as few countries, because in Czechia, an individual doctor can refuse to do an abortion
55:14
because of religious reasons, for example, but the Czechian hospital still has to find someone else
55:19
in the hospital that will carry out the abortion. And this is the same in a few other countries
55:23
including the Netherlands. 70% of Canada's population lives in the coloured areas. That
55:27
is always really, really crazy to see, isn't it? Huge regions of Canada just has very few people in
55:33
them. It's really amazing to see, isn't it? I mean, I know that this isn't quite as huge as it feels
55:38
because of how, like, a map is stretched at the top, but this is still a colossally large area
55:43
24 hours of flights between Europe and the US. Whoa, look at that
55:48
That is busy. Do you know what? I've got a flight radar download on my phone. And anytime there's a little helicopter or a plane going over
55:53
I'm like, oh, where have they come from? Where are they going? Interesting to see so much of Europe kind of not really explored by US
56:00
Everybody's sort of sticking to this left side. Percentage of people who believe the government is hiding a cure to cancer
56:05
Such interesting maps today. Just a big variety of stuff. Okay, basically what we're seeing here is a lot of countries think that the government is hiding
56:12
In my own country, one third of people, apparently. I don't think I would believe that
56:16
I like to have a little bit of faith, but hey, who knows? Turkey, very pessimistic
56:20
Same with Macedonia and Albania down here. Maps showing countries within range of Israel's nuclear missiles
56:27
Okay, so pretty much everyone then. Cool, good to know. UK's largest immigrant communities by region
56:33
Okay, so you can see that literally it's just two, India and Poland
56:36
Where I live down here, and I would agree, I do notice quite a few Polish people
56:41
and to be honest, very few Indian people. It's quite a white region. It's interesting that there's
56:45
not more variety, like literally just two countries. I would have expected a bit more of a hodgepodge
56:49
As a Pole, married to an Indian, living in the UK, I enjoyed this map. Where the Popes were born
56:55
oh, we get to visualize the entire history. So 217 of them were born in Italy, which is kind of what
57:01
I expected. But as you can see, that's non-exclusive. We've also had one from Argentina. We've had one
57:06
from the USA most recently, one from the UK at some point, 16 from France, a couple from Turkey
57:12
so I guess we've had a Pope from every continent other than Oceania. Will I get to witness that
57:16
I don't know how long Popes are Popping for. Do you have to die to stop being the Pope? Is that
57:19
the only way it goes? Like, are you locked in once you've committed? The first five countries to
57:23
recognize the United States. All right, interesting. So France was first, UK is not even on there. Oh
57:29
no, Morocco was first on the actual year, then France, then the Netherlands, and then Sweden and
57:33
Spain. Look at that. What's it going? We just got a new map and something totally different. Who wants
57:38
to join the EU the most? So in Albania, 94% of people do apparently. Kosovo, 90%. Ukraine, 87%
57:45
Basically very high for all of these, as well as Georgia Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina
57:50
North Macedonia, and then the numbers start dwindling a little bit. UK is actually on there
57:54
Obviously, they famously left, but about 50% of people want to rejoin. Switzerland, very low at
57:59
7% though. Switzerland, just, they like doing their own thing, don't they? I'll say let them all in
58:03
why not? I don't have any jurisdiction. Countries where more people died than were born during the
58:07
year 2024. Oh, very interesting. So this is basically which country's populations are slowing
58:13
down and actually decreasing possibly. And you can see it's quite a few, generally all same regions
58:18
basically Europe. And then I guess the East side of Asia. It's really interesting to see this kind
58:21
of stuff, how so many different things like finance and culture are just creating reasons for people
58:26
not fancy and having kids anymore. Sahara Desert today. Okay, fair enough. Sahara Desert 6,000
58:32
years ago. You can see it was far less desert-y, actually a bit of rainforest, and a few gigantic
58:38
lakes as well. Very interesting to see, isn't it? Wouldn't it just be magical if you could just go
58:43
back, just have a little look at it for a second? Which of the 10 largest cities by population is
58:46
closest to you? Another very interesting concept. So if you're in basically all of Europe or Africa
58:52
then Cairo is your biggest, closest city, which I did not know. I'm in here, but I had no idea
58:58
about that. Beijing dominates this big chunk of Mongolia, Russia, Siberia, all that. Tokyo is
59:03
obviously massive, but I guess Osaka must be too. Dakar slides all the way down here. Sao Paulo
59:08
manages to take over basically all of South America. This is really interesting. Tokyo actually
59:13
managing to be the biggest city if you're in Alaska as well, which is cool. Medium home size
59:18
in the USA compared to parts of Europe. Okay, so from the depiction of American television
59:23
homes in the US just seem gigantic. Every single one seems like a mansion. Like, I watch sitcom
59:28
where people are complaining and that they don't have much space and i'm thinking that's bigger than
59:31
my entire house and i don't even have a small house so let's take a look at the median and see
59:36
if that's still correct i mean yeah we've got a lot of 2000s here whereas in the uk it's only 800
59:41
square feet so literally everywhere as far as i can see is still twice the size excluding hawaii
59:47
but isn't that crazy and then who's got the biggest houses in europe it would be denmark and then
59:51
in Greece, okay, interesting. And the UK is sort of average with everybody else
59:57
Africa in 10 million years, whoa. Oh, so, ah, I thought that Madagascar was this big one
1:00:03
but Madagascar actually looks fairly unchanged. I guess there must be a tectonic plate here
1:00:07
that's just slowly splitting off sort of Somalia, Ethiopia, those sort of areas
1:00:12
And you can also see that it has reconnected with Spain too
1:00:16
I mean, this is 10 million years away, so I assume that there'll be no humans at this point
1:00:20
Is it legal to drink coffee while driving? So it is legal everywhere in Europe
1:00:24
other than Greece and Cyprus. Interesting. Come on, guys, let them have a little
1:00:28
You know why not? European countries buy their exact shade of blue in their flag. Oh, this is a bit of me this
1:00:35
Beautiful so newly updated france seems to have the darkest shade of blue
1:00:40
I personally preferred the previous blue. I'm just saying france. Sorry and then who's that is that
1:00:45
Well, hang on. I could work it out. It can't be georgia because their flag is red and white. It must be azerbaijan
1:00:49
Is it yeah makes sense? They've got a lovely light shade of blue I go crazy for that beautiful little aqua very nice what are young europeans worried about
1:00:57
Okay, so in France, Spain, Portugal, etc. They are worried about health
1:01:01
That's sad. Over in the center of Europe, they're worried about war
1:01:05
Once again, sad. I mean, literally all of these are sad, aren't they? War seems to be the biggest one on the list
1:01:09
Housing is a big concern over in Ireland and in the Netherlands. And then education actually slips in for Hungary
1:01:16
With Lithuania picking taxes. What's happening with taxes in Lithuania? I actually can't work it out
1:01:21
Guys, please let me know in the comments. Ooh, World Map according to Apple Lookaround
1:01:25
Which is Apple Maps version of Street View I did not know Apple look around was a thing Can I access that now I never used Apple maps i can work it out oh wait it not in the uk yet that explains it they done a lot of europe
1:01:40
already though and summits of canada so quite interesting locations that have been picked out
1:01:45
i guess they're still going it looks like they've pretty much got new zealand and australia covered
1:01:50
too oh my god it's come back to me i drove past an apple maps car and i put me fingers out the
1:01:56
the window and I kept checking, but the coverage still isn't there. This was like a year ago at
1:02:00
this point. So they are taking their time. Size comparisons of European micro states. I would love
1:02:05
to do a video where I just visit all of the European micro states. Like, wouldn't that be so
1:02:09
cool? But it is amazing here to visualize the actual difference. Like for a long time, I knew
1:02:14
Vatican was the smallest, but I thought of San Marino and Liechtenstein, for example, as basically
1:02:18
being the same size and Luxembourg, which isn't even on this list because it's much bigger. I
1:02:22
thought that was about the same size as well, but I'm completely wrong. So Andorra and Malta
1:02:28
pretty big considering they are small. US States flag map, all quite similar in color there. I did
1:02:34
not think about how much blue there was. A couple of years ago, I did a video where I learned every
1:02:38
single one of these, like all 50. It has not stayed in my head. I know a few, you know, I've
1:02:43
got Colorado, California, obviously, Texas, but then kind of after that on the ones where it's not
1:02:47
just written, I can't really remember them, but there's some really nice ones. There's a lot of really ugly ones as well, and then they keep kind of changing them as well, so we've got Utah's here
1:02:56
which is looking good. So do you have a favourite US state flag? Let me know in the comments down below, and on that note, I'm going to end off the video. Hopefully you enjoyed it. If you did
