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.

Despite this being the JackSucksAtGeography subreddit and me being JackSucksAtGeography
0:05
this subreddit actually has literally nothing to do with me. So it was made all the way back in 2020 and I did a few videos locking down the subreddit
0:13
We had a great time. But after just a few months, more and more posts started popping up that were less and
0:18
less to do with me and my videos and were actually just to do with geography in general
0:23
Until eventually, people stopped caring about me altogether and this became just another
0:27
geography subreddit. And it's a popular geography subreddit. I've not done any content on it in a year
0:33
but it has 75,000 members and 5,000 posts in the last 30 days
0:39
So as per tradition around here, we're going to scroll through the top post of the year
0:43
We're going to see how long it takes to actually get to a post that has anything to do with me
0:48
Look at this. This post has 2,000 upvotes. I don't get 2,000 upvotes on my Jack Sucks Alive subreddit
0:54
And I do videos on that every single week on my other channel. Australia
0:58
Australia, Australia. I don't understand. Oh, wait, wait. It's gold because the chemical symbol
1:04
for gold is AU. So it's AG silver and it's CU copper. All right. Well, that's, that's really
1:10
good. That's, that's great. Does it deserve to be the top post of the entire year? Not really
1:15
but it is. I'm giving this three hours until it's on an explain the joke sub. Fortunately
1:19
we've managed to work it out without any Googling. I'm pleased about that. The ultimate flag
1:23
combination. Ah, this is quite beautiful, isn't it? So we've basically just colour coordinated all
1:29
the flags to make one epic flag. I can't name a bunch of these. Obviously, we've got Australia
1:34
we've got Romania or Chad, and then Chad or Romania. We've got Vietnam, Kyrgyzstan, Maldives
1:39
right? Yep, just checking. I'll be in order to get that wrong. Then we've got China, we've got
1:44
Kosovo, we've got Seychelles, an absolute classic, really doing a lot of the heavy lifting here too
1:48
We've got Hungary, we've got Brazil, we've got the old Libya flag, I believe. And then, is that
1:53
Christmas Island. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. And the others, I don't know. So any flag nerds in the
1:59
comments that want to show off, let me know the missing ones down below. Day three of getting a
2:03
comment from every subdivision in the world. Oh my God. This has 4,400 comments. Look at them
2:10
filling up all these tiny little subdivisions. That's absolutely crazy. The Jack sucks the
2:15
geography subreddit. It spreads across the world. Look at it. 4,000 comments. Good luck with Uganda
2:20
or Moldova, I think Myanmar will be a bit hard too. Hello there, I'm from Myanmar. Oh my god
2:25
we got one, we got one. What about Siberia and Russia? What about Antarctica? North Korea laughing
2:29
in the corner. Oh my god, did we actually get someone from China? He's called Jim Bowen. It's
2:34
not the most traditional Chinese name. California's economy is larger than all the nations in red
2:39
Wow. Do you know, surprisingly, I don't think I've seen this map before, but that's absolutely
2:43
mental. So it's only the rest of the USA, Germany, China, and Japan. Is that it? California's economy
2:50
is larger than the whole of the UK's economy? I mean, I know there's a lot of like billion
2:55
billion dollar corporations that are sort of set up there, but just that singular state
2:59
that's mental. 4.3 trillion compared to the UK at 4.26 trillion. So we're just behind
3:06
but that is still absolutely crazy. The USA looks like a whale. Um, all right. I mean
3:11
you've flipped it. Why have you flipped? Hang on. Why have you flipped it? Why don't you just draw
3:15
the whale the other way around? United Whales of America. Good one. Why did we have to invert it
3:21
for this though? Finally, someone's asking the real questions. Really interesting map. Okay
3:25
What offers citizenship? Land or blood? Okay. So rule of the land or rule of the blood. So rule of
3:32
the land means if born in the blue nations, you are automatically offered citizenship
3:36
irrespective of your parents' nationalities, which is interesting. And you kind of feel like
3:41
Places like the USA maybe wouldn't have that rule, but they do. Rule of the blood
3:45
If born in the Red Nations, your citizenship depends on the citizenship of your parents
3:49
which is very interesting to think about. Is there a right or wrong
3:53
Surely not. But it is interesting to see the split that basically happens around the Americas
3:58
I wonder what the historic reasons for that are. There are obviously some exceptions
4:01
We've got Chad, Pakistan over here. Rule of the blood. Doing a lot of the domineering. Cyrillic in a nutshell
4:06
Linguistic experts. Bulgarian, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Macedonian, Serbian Bosnian Montenegrin Kazak Kirk Mongolian Tajik
4:14
Russian Abesian Carbadian Karake Balkan Nogai Adeigi Altai Akul Alva Azerbaijan Dargawa
4:22
Kumyuk Leszkyan Lak Tabasarian Tahur Bashkir Bushkret Cheshen Chuvas Movzin Moskau Ezra English
4:29
Kalmyak Kildan Sami Komi Mari Ozetian Saka Tata Tuvan Udmut Abkaz Westerners this is Russian I never done that before I would not be guilty of this one nope
4:43
My son's flag map. Aw, look at that beautiful job. Now, I've attempted to draw consonants in the past
4:49
and I'll tell you what it is, noisy task. What's Russia split here? Is it like a Eurasian border or something, maybe
4:55
Look at all the tiny little countries. Look how crazy it gets over in Oceania. That's a pretty impressive job
4:59
Oh my god, this was actually for me as well. Hi Jack, my son Teddy is your biggest fan and watches your videos all the time
5:05
As a result, he absolutely loves flags and this summer he's been painstakingly drawing every single country
5:10
and their flag onto a big A3 map that we printed out in the library. He wanted me to post it so you could see it
5:16
Jilly from Norwich, do not worry, I actually saw it. What are the chances? I only do these once a year
5:21
Unfortunately, I can just give one up vote. Well, do not fear because I can give one more
5:25
Hey, that's pretty good. Thanks, he's been trying so hard. It's really difficult to draw geography
5:29
you did really well it bloody is as well pretty nice just to note that our syrian flag is updated
5:33
our flag is green from the top with three red stars instead of the two yeah did you know the
5:38
syrian flag had changed this is the one that i learned back in my 2020 flag learning era and
5:43
this is what the flag looks like now similar vibe but the stars have changed colors added another
5:47
one we got green up the top most used emoji in each european country 2024 and apparently the uk's
5:53
is the winky face you do not catch me using the winky face ever and i don't see anyone else using
5:58
the winky face either. Look how patriotic a lot of the countries are. That's quite interesting
6:02
that. Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Poland, all have their own flag as their most used national flag. The Vatican's is just a Christian
6:13
cross. Do we believe the legitimacy of this? Where did they get the Vatican data? I'll tell
6:18
you what's wild. Just having a look at my emojis. Vatican City is one of the recent
6:23
Russia is so small and pathetic. Even lithuania is bigger. Hahaha. Yeah get rekt russia
6:30
This is a fun little joke because this this exclave of russia is over here. What's it called valingrad
6:35
Kalingrad well, that's the name of the city I don't know what this actual area is called. I don't know what life's like in this teeny tiny area of russia
6:42
Just doing its own thing over on the left. What's wrong with this map? All right, let's attempt to spot everything
6:47
So there's a lot pointed out off the bat. We have got africa and south america have been flipped
6:53
We've got the uk is being swapped with madagascar. I don't know what's happening with norway and sweden and finland
6:59
Where have they gone? Oh, have they been swapped with the great lakes? Yeah, I think so
7:03
Australia has been swapped with greenland, but they've left tasmania new zealand has been swapped with japan is there much else
7:09
Oh, yeah, there is india and texas mexico area have been swapped. Sri lanka's made it over there too
7:15
And the philippines have randomly been shoved in central america. I can't spot central america
7:20
But i'm sure it's over here somewhere. Where is italy gone? I don't know what this is. This has moved as well
7:25
Oh florida's over here where thailand was. So is that thailand? Yes, it is
7:30
Papua new guinea's still there, but indonesia is not looking correct. Yeah, i'm sure there's a oh, there's italy
7:35
Italy's being swapped with that little random area of mexico I'm sure there's lots of other things i'm not noticing, but I think we've got a lot of the main ones
7:42
What if europeans colonized europe? Ah, here we go and they've just drawn straight lines everywhere
7:48
just like the Europeans did everywhere else. Yeah, it's quite sad, really
7:52
Don't really know what else I can say to that. In the comments, state your country
7:56
Things I hate, vandalism, lists, irony, lists, repetition, inconsistency. Because that's really funny
8:02
It doesn't really have much to do with geography. In your comments, state your country. Go on then, let's see what kind of spread we're working with
8:08
on the JackSucksAtGeography subreddit that has nothing to do with me. The country that's somehow the best one and the worst one at the same time, the US
8:15
Canada. Pakistan. Netherlands, Malaysia, Antarctica, no chance, real boy, zero, zero, zero
8:21
United States, Brazil, Sordland. I don't know where Sordland is. Uh, right, Sosland is from a video game
8:28
That took me way too long to work out. Poor Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland
8:32
And Denmark's squeezing in. I guess that's pretty accurate for the northern layout
8:37
Yeah, fair. If you ever feel useless, remember that Mongolia has a navy, despite the fact that it is very, very landlocked
8:43
Give me one defensive argument against this. Mongolia does not have a navy. There is no naval branch of the Mongolian Armed Forces
8:49
This whole meme is disinformation. Oh, disinformation. It's based on the fact that NEMA, the Mongolian National Emergency Management Agency
8:58
maintains a single tugboat with seven crew members to patrol a lake at the Russian border
9:03
which the internet has twisted into there being a Mongolian navy with one ship and seven crew members So they don have a navy but they do have a little tugboat which is cute I from chokotka russia ask me anything Oh
9:16
All right. I mean, ah the flags in russian territories are just unbelievable
9:21
Aren't they look at that do you have good internet connection? So so they say well that makes sense
9:26
They made it to reddit. It's doing all right. Are you where you have the coolest court of arms ever
9:29
Seriously, it looks fan made with how fantastic it is my favorite one i've seen so far. Yeah, that is pretty cool
9:34
look and look at the bear holding his little face he's like no it's mine how much of weather conditions affect daily life quite strong compared to central european part of the country delays of
9:42
domestic flights helicopters boats airboats are not uncommon we could miss school for a week because
9:47
of a snowstorm adults could also be released from work and driven around in company cars if a storm
9:51
catches you at school teachers don't let you go home until your parents come to pick you up interesting i always love just uh hearing and seeing how different people in different parts
9:59
of the world just do their normal stuff all right the pause to start and get a bit wacky as we
10:03
continue. Once again, we've had one mention of me and I'm actually quite pleased about it. I nearly
10:07
missed it as well. What do you call this? So it's a United Kingdom flag that's had the United Kingdom
10:13
infinitely added. I'm going to see some really funny comments, I'm sure. An abomination there
10:18
Abomination Jack. For a moment, I thought that was something to do with me, but it's just the
10:22
Union Jack, isn't it? Okay. I drew a map of Europe from memory as an American. All right, let's have
10:28
a look. Off the bat, it looks pretty solid, doesn't it? It's obviously not perfect, but it's never
10:32
going to be. You're just drawing from memory. Sweden and Finland looking a bit girthy, but
10:36
still acceptable. You've got lots of nice specific areas. You've drawn these countries far better
10:40
than I can draw them, let's be honest. Like, your Greece looks solid. Romania looking good. I think
10:45
it's a very nice job. Why does Crimea look like Ukraine's ball sack? I honestly thought it looked
10:49
pretty good. I'm an American living in the UK, and I would 100% do worse than this. However
10:54
you did forget Andorra. Oh, you also forgot Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino, and Vatican
10:59
City. Oh, idiots. What idiots? Sorry, I'm getting carried away. What country is this? Brackets are
11:05
wrong answers only. These are the kind of posts that basically stopped me doing videos. I used to
11:09
do them when I first started once a month on this subreddit and very quickly I just realized there
11:14
was very little for me to contribute. Albania. Yeah, West, West, Germany. Baguette. I just
11:21
what do I say to this? Geography meme lol. Puv, the teacher makes a seating chart. The seating
11:27
chart haha yeah this looks like it could get way too controversial if i was to try and break
11:32
everything down here anyway no you're cyrillic oh my god this is the kind of thing that would
11:39
be amazing if i could actually keep this in my head but i absolutely cannot bulgarian to be fair
11:44
this one's quite handy if i can actually start spotting a cute little bee on little bulgarian
11:49
signs that could really do something and it's easy to remember too day three i've tried to get a
11:54
comment from every country. Why don't these countries just join together and form one whole
11:58
country? Ha ha ha. What country is this? Brackers, wrong answers only. See, it's just, it's not good
12:04
for me. But I'm here. I'm continuing my yearly tradition. I'll log back in in August 2027. Don't
12:10
worry. Trying to get a comment for every US county part two. They made pretty solid progress from part
12:15
one. That's actually kind of mental. There's 2,000 comments. There's just so many commenters on this
12:21
subreddit it is so active would you live in this hypothetical country yes i can't spell hypothetical
12:26
hypothetical i love how you just went for it you didn't think i'll just google it in a second i'll
12:31
just hope for the best uh would i live here um yeah go on then they're through trying to get
12:36
comments from every county to reveal an image oh okay well at least they're mixing things up and
12:41
there's you know a little bit of jazziness to this one they've gotten a lot of counties look
12:45
at that. What is the image? Can we recognize it? What's that gonna be? Is it flag related? I want
12:51
to know what the image is. This was five months ago. Let me see what the answer is. What's going
12:56
on here? There must be a better use of my time. I'm just scrolling down a random person's subreddit
13:00
from the last five months of history. I've learned so much about them. I learned that they messed up
13:04
their tan, but they didn't update it. They never made it to day four. So thanks for ruining my day
13:10
Can someone please let me know in the comments down below what the image was that was going to
13:14
be revealed i need to know colorblind meme warning what normal people see yeah okay some
13:19
u.s states what colorblind people see it's black and white and you've removed the the word color
13:24
from color colorado so it just says ardo they want to try to get a comment from someone living
13:32
in every u.s county yeah that's never been done before let's let's start doing that people eat it
13:37
up every time though another 2 000 comments what year did your country become independent oh ancient Wow okay 1945 for Indonesia and Malaysia 1947 for India 1971 for Pakistan 1873 for Iraq That Iraq right 1500s for Iran Turkey 1700s for Saudi Arabia
13:59
Fascinating. Look at that. Japan, ancient times. The Koreas, 1952, 1991 for the Soviet areas. We've
14:06
got 2002. It was a little cheeky 2002. Is that East Tamar? I'm from North Kazakhstan. Ask me
14:11
anything. Oh, and then we've got some cool North Kazakhstani pictures, which is interesting. Look
14:16
at that. Oh, I like it. Do Kazakh people speak Russian or their mother tongue more in their
14:20
everyday lives? Both options at the same time, but now I notice more and more people speaking Kazakh
14:25
Okay. Opinion on the commie blocks. So I believe that's this kind of housing style. I personally
14:29
like them, but I'd renovate them like they do in Eastern Germany, Poland, or the Baltics. They're
14:34
Very comfortable housing, but many of them, especially this era buildings, need renovation
14:39
Yeah, I mean, purely looking visually from the outside, there's kind of something cool looking about them in like a really sort of harsh urban way
14:46
but the actual reality of things might be very different. Would you say that Kazakhstan is nice? Very nice. Well, that's good
14:50
What kind of tourist stuff is there in Kazakhstan? Nature. We have beautiful nature. We have many historical sites
14:56
For example, the Mausumum of Koza Akhmet Yasawai in the Turkestan region
15:02
or many burial mounds, museums, and so on. We have beautiful mountains, steps, canyons, and so on
15:07
I'd love to go. I've seen some beautiful pictures of Kazakhstan. It's on my list. It's on my list now that I'm getting out and about more
15:12
I found the Seychelles in my maths homework. All right, as someone that hasn't done
15:16
any educational-based maths for 14 years, let's take a look, see if we could answer this
15:21
Isabella's making a huge flag for her country, the Republic of the Seychelles, on a canvas 20 by 10 meters long
15:26
I'm not gonna be able to do this. To do that, she has to draw a diagonal that begins at the bottom left corner
15:31
and ends at the right side of the flag. Okay. Since the ends of the diagonal are too far to put a ruler between them
15:36
Isabella wants to find the angle of the diagonal and draw it using the protractor
15:40
What is the angle of the elevation in degrees? What is the angle of the elevation in degrees
15:46
And we have to learn that based on the fact that this is 20 and this is 7
15:50
I have no idea. I would not even be able to estimate
15:54
Let me know in the comments how you do that one. Normal people on New Year
15:58
Yay, Year of the World Cup is here. me. Yay, a year closer to Begainville becoming independent. Oh, that is still very exciting
16:06
That is 2027, I believe. And I've been saying since that news dropped, I think three years ago
16:11
four years ago, that as soon as that happens and all the sparkle quizzes get updated
16:16
I will be releasing a new video where I have to type in all 198 countries of the world. And I am
16:22
excited for that. There too, trying to get some comments from every county to reveal an image
16:26
Don't believe her. Don't trust what this person says. She won't follow through
16:30
She gets to day four. She gives up. Tomorrow is when there's a test. Oh, man
16:35
It's on geography. Yeah, man. I like that one, to be fair
16:40
European countries that I like versus I don't. So you've listed them, but you've not said which is which
16:47
Little cheeky, little cheeky chappy. They won't have tried to get a comment from every country to reveal an image
16:52
Don't trust this post. Do not believe it. 1,500 people put their hearts on the line, committed from the beginning, day one
17:00
And then they just sod it off on day four. Despicable behavior, to be honest
17:03
I drew every country's flags. Ah, they're so cute. Look at them all
17:08
That's kind of beautiful. Do you know, I kind of want to do the same sort of thing. There's something very sweet about it, isn't there
17:13
I could put it on my art store as like a big print. That would be quite a sweet poster, actually
17:17
This is normal, right? So the land and the water has been flipped
17:21
It looks quite cool, though, isn't it? Well, that really sort of throws you off. I'm from Mars, ask me anything
17:26
It's because they're not actually from Mars. It's just like they're just being silly, really
17:30
Is your country larger than a toothpick? Yeah. Yeah, because they're all larger
17:35
So it's another funny thing. Bored. I'm bored of these now. I don't care anymore
17:40
And on that note, we're going to end off the Reddit. Oh, it's me! It's me
17:45
Why have I upvoted it? I must have upvoted it in a JackSucksAndStuff Reddit video
17:51
I don't just come on here in my spare time. Someone must have shared this on my other subreddit
17:58
That's really embarrassing. Learning geography in school. Who cares about that? Learning geography with Jack
18:03
Oh, beautiful. That's what we like to see. Thank you very much for watching this year's Jack Sucks at Geography subreddit video
18:10
If you enjoyed it and you can't wait for 2027s, then leave a like and a comment
18:14
And here's another geography video that you've not seen yet that YouTube thinks you'd like
18:18
So give it a click. All right. Thanks. Bye
