How do you say T in Europe
0:01
So in the UK we say T. In Northern Ireland they say T
0:05
In Iceland they say T. In Norway they say T. In Sweden they say T
0:09
In Finland they say T. In Estonia they say T. In Latvia they say T
0:14
In Lithuania they say Our butter. In Poland they say Her butter. But in Germany they say T
0:19
In Belgium they say T. In Netherlands they say T. In Switzerland they say T
0:23
In Austria they say T. But in Czechia they say Chai. In Slovakia they say Chai
0:27
In Slovenia, Croatia, Botsmania and Herzegovina... Serbia, Montenegro, and Albania, they also say Chai
0:33
Countries where oranges are called Portugal. It's bloody all happening, isn't it
0:37
So basically a lot of countries surrounding the Mediterranean, but also the Middle East as well. Well, there we go. Who'd have thought it
0:42
Look at this. I'm juggling with three Portugals. Are they still Portugals
0:46
If they're Satsumas and not official oranges? Let me know in the comments
0:50
In ten countries, leaving one's religion is punishable by death. Well, the maps have taken a sudden turn
0:54
Yeah, this is pretty significantly scary to still be a thing in 2026
0:58
There'll be so many millions of people out there that disagree with what their religion and what their country preaches
1:04
but they're too scared to do anything about it. It's very sad. When does it start to feel warm
1:07
Mmm. So in the UK, it's 17 degrees. I am more than that with 17 degrees
1:12
I'll go out with my t-shirt in 17 degrees. It's currently 16 degrees
1:16
I've got my shorts on. So pretty interesting spread. As you can see, the more north it is, the colder the extremes are
1:22
So when Iceland is starting to experience 7 degrees, they're like, oh, this is a turning point
1:26
But then bottom of Europe, 25 degrees, and they're counting that as warm
1:30
Not hot, but warm. And not even properly warm, just the start of warmth
1:34
That's mad. Eurovision participation. So still a lot of countries getting involved in Eurovision
1:39
Two countries have actually been banned. Russia because of its invasion of Ukraine. Belarus because of its politically themed songs
1:45
That's interesting. Quite a few places have withdrawn due to participation of Israel, which I completely understand
1:50
Turkey's out because of the voting system, which is interesting. Wait, hang on. Hungary's withdrawn due to the contest being too gay
1:57
Nah, they've seen the show before, right? That cannot have come as a surprise
2:01
Decimal separators used in Europe. This is an interesting one, you know, look at that
2:06
Only the British Isles use a full stop for their decimals and we bloody do as well
2:11
I can't even deny it. If I'm putting like 1.5, it's 1.5
2:15
It's not one comma five. That's so interesting. We are the minority there
2:19
Look at everywhere else apart from Luxembourg and Switzerland that are just happy to mix and match
2:23
which is fair enough. I've seen a few commas in my time, so I dare say that we might be slowly
2:29
getting more on board with the comma. I wonder what the historic reason for that is. That's
2:32
pretty interesting. We've got Malta down here as well, but I assume that's just because of
2:36
UK influence. Look at that. I live in Malaysia and Singapore, which is former British colonies
2:40
and we write with the dots. But then if you go 45 minutes to Indonesia, which was formerly a Dutch
2:46
colony, they write with the commas. It's the same all over the world. Australian population visualized
2:50
Ooh, that's interesting. Every block is 0.1% of the national population. So, Sydney is the most populated city
2:58
which you definitely would be able to guess, but Melbourne not that far behind and same with Brisbane as well Then we got Adelaide where my dearest friend lives but not particularly populated but crazy to see that places as big as Northern Territory
3:11
Western Australia, barely even dent this map. Australia's massive, but most of the population
3:16
are just in four cities. Tasmania's more populated than I realised as well
3:20
Countries by how many women attend university education compared to men. The blue is more women in university than men
3:26
That is like such a huge majority of the world, which I guess is really nice to see
3:30
Women have had some historical oppression in terms of independence and education, so this is nice to see
3:35
Obviously, a lot of Middle East and Africa, there are still more men, but in Qatar, there's significantly more women in university
3:42
There's little Qatar, for your reference, 1.79 women for every one man
3:46
But it isn't as positive as it sounds. Qatari women of university age are not permitted to leave the country unaccompanied
3:52
so they have to go to university locally. So it's still worth reading into things like that, because they're not as positive as they perhaps first sound
3:58
Oh, this is an interesting one. I'm surprised I've not seen this before in the half a decade of map videos I've been making
4:04
The largest generation in each country. So for the majority, baby boomers, who are people that were born between 1944 and 1964
4:12
make up the most of Europe. We do have just an aging population in Europe due to better medicine
4:17
So people are living longer and people are slowly having less babies at the moment
4:22
So Turkey, Moldova, Sweden and Belarus. And these little cheeky fellas, I'm not forgetting them
4:27
Millennials are the largest population, which is very interesting. Where is it illegal to boil lobsters alive
4:33
Uh, not that many places, which is sad really, isn't it? I'm allowed to say that I've been vegetarian 12 years
4:39
There's no hypocrisy. South America is much bigger than people realize. Is that the United States
4:44
Because I've looked at a lot of maps and the fact that the United States fits in there and we still have all of this space
4:50
It is bigger than I imagine because the United States is famously ginormous
4:54
But look at that we can fit basically all of europe and mexico and the united states
4:59
They could have shoved alaska somewhere just to satisfy me. There's easily space japan didn't need to be there
5:04
And there is no way that hawaii takes up that much room cram i'm in a bit more. We have not been space vision here
5:09
Polynesian shell map. Oh Okay, can it be labeled? Is anyone gonna label for us? Okay, here's another version
5:15
So you can see how the islands actually stack up in comparison
5:19
It's just really interesting to see how different cultures are able to visualize stuff, isn't it? What a 5,000-kilometer radius around Paris looks like on the Mercator map
5:26
This is really interesting. So, this distance here is equal to this distance here. And it just shows you how stretched the northern part of the map is
5:32
It's been a while since we've been on true size. Here we go. Look at that. Shrivels right up
5:36
What is going on here? What are you so big for, Greenland? Chill out. How do I say money in different European languages
5:42
So, in the UK, we say money. In Germany and a few other places, they say Geld
5:46
In France, they say Argent. In Spain, they say De Niro. I like that one
5:50
And in Italy, they say Dinero. No wonder I'm always getting Spanish and Italian mixed up in Geogestrian people shout at me in Bulgaria
5:57
They say pari in Turkey. They say para in Romania. They say ban in Poland. They say behind
6:03
In Norway, they serve Benja and in Sweden they say penja, but in Russia
6:07
They said dengy sure I nailed every single pronunciation No further questions Thank you This part of Kentucky isn connected to Kentucky I sorry what So here Kentucky only reachable by road through Tennessee
6:18
What? So you got, what? I found it. Look at that. Little exclave
6:24
That's so weird. Kentucky's got its own little blob just to the left
6:28
They ain't lying. Let's go there. Let's go right there. The forbidden Kentucky
6:32
Whoa. I would just think this was just around the corner from me. Why does this blob in Kentucky look so much like the UK countryside
6:39
Countries that have won the FIFA World Cup. Not actually that many when you look at a big globe
6:43
England have won one occasion, 966, I assume. Brazil five times. Germany and Italy four times
6:50
Argentina three times. South America pretty much dominating things here. Even Uruguay sneaked in with two
6:56
Look at that. The United States is named as the biggest threat to the world, even by Americans
7:02
Yeah, pretty depressing little map that. It's quite conclusive, isn't it? Europe's UFO reports map
7:08
Mmm, this is really interesting. So there's a pretty consistent spread just all across populated areas of Europe
7:14
A lot of coasts around Spain, which is interesting. But people are going mad for the UFOs in England
7:17
But what's interesting is it does spread over this way a little bit
7:21
So that suggests it's not necessarily just cultural. Maybe there's more to it. What's going on
7:25
Don't ask me. I'm just a YouTuber that looks at maps once a month. New map issued by the Brazilian government
7:31
Species richness 2025. the number of species per 100 kilometers squared. So it's a wildlife map
7:37
but the projection is so interesting because they've gone south to north
7:42
They've centered Brazil, which I understand is a Brazilian map. Why should the UK always be centered
7:46
But then they flipped it, which is just very cool to see. And they're just trying to highlight how much wildlife is in Brazil
7:51
The greener, the better, which, yeah, according to this map, that is a lot of wildlife
7:55
Holland versus the Netherlands. People are always saying Holland when they are referring to the Netherlands
7:59
but actually it is just this quite small region to the west. I wonder when people started referring to Netherlands as Holland. Most frequently used
8:08
keyboard layouts. All right, QWERTY doing a lot of the heavy lifting, but look at all of this
8:13
throughout Central Europe where people use a QWERTY keyboard. My god, that would throw me off
8:17
I would not be ready for that. In Turkey, they use QWERTY and a word I don't think I'm going to
8:22
attempt to pronounce. Countries that have won Eurovision split by century. Ooh, what is going
8:27
on here? This is actually really interesting. So for some reason, the countries are split into
8:31
segments of Europe. So 20th century is over here. In the center, we've got 20th and 21st. Okay. And
8:38
then 21st is all the way over on this side. So because this middle one is mixed, that isn't quite
8:43
as weird as our first four it was. And obviously we've got Spain down here as an exception as well
8:48
But yeah, it turns out Western Europe has fallen off, bro. Countries with higher suicide rate than
8:53
Japan in 2021. All right, guys, we're trying to keep it light. It's just a fun YouTube video
8:59
Sad though, very sad. The most isolated building on earth. Okay, so this is the bottom of New Zealand
9:05
I've actually been to Queenstown and Invercargill. Isn't that good? But then what is this little spot? Whoa
9:10
Is that the one that you see pictures of? I was wondering if it was this place which I seen before but I don think it actually is There not really any pictures of it Look at that What going on there Who lives there Does anyone live there Crochet of Dunley of the Northern Hemisphere for my boyfriend
9:23
Oh my God, that's absolutely crazy. Look at that. We can see this is definitely Europe
9:28
This is the Americas over here, North America. You've got Greenland there and little Iceland
9:33
That's crazy. That must have been so difficult. That's love. Nothing but respect
9:38
Legal obligation to provide free tap water in restaurants. I actually don't know what the rule is in the uk so it's a partial requirement. I'm a thirsty fella
9:46
I am frequently asking for tap water along with my regular drink
9:50
I often like a hot drink and a cold drink and then a tap water as well I may have a problem either way though
9:54
That is a lot of the world that are not required to provide free tap water matter of every church in romania
9:59
Do you know what? That's a lot of churches to be fair. Ooh british population visualized
10:04
We've had the australian one and now we have britain and you can see it's actually quite a lot more balanced
10:10
It doesn't look that dissimilar from the actual UK. Scotland is obviously being quite shriveled
10:16
Northeast is where I'm from. Not a particularly populated area at all. And then this is where I live now
10:21
Once again, not too populated. London doing a lot of the work. And southeast actually ends up pretty populated too
10:28
But yeah, Wales and Scotland, pretty quiet. Northern Ireland, surprisingly big. But definitely more of a balance compared to Australia
10:34
Britain at this point feels pretty populated wherever you are. The motorways, they're very busy
10:38
The world's biggest Coca-Cola consumers, Belgium, sneaking in there with the big dogs
10:43
Well, this very specific region of Mexico, Chiapas, that's very interesting, isn't it
10:48
It's so high as well. They can't get enough of this stuff. Really sad that Coca-Cola is often cheaper and more accessible than clean water in parts of Chiapas
10:55
which is mostly why the consumption is so high. Wow, I feel bad now. I was making a little joke
10:59
They're actually just living in horrific capitalist poverty. I've switched from Diet Coke to Coke Zero recently, and I'm enjoying things
11:07
Where in Europe, pepper spray is illegal. What this has really shown is all of the places that it's legal, which is kind of mad
11:13
I mean, I assume by legal, they don't mean, yeah, just crack on, spray it wherever. Point at it wherever, whoever, I'm not bothered, it'll be all right
11:19
Range of palm trees across the world. Okay, I really should pay attention to this in terms of, uh, Jew, I guess that's pretty helpful
11:26
Kind of just like the middle bit. Yeah, okay. All inhabited places with more than zero people per kilometer
11:31
Okay, so pretty recognizable to the maps that we're used to, but we do see it's very quiet at the top of Canada and Greenland
11:38
which is barely even showing up. Obviously, it makes a lot of sense when you think about what the terrain is
11:41
And as we've learned, it's not actually that big an area. Gaps throughout the Sahara, which also makes sense
11:46
but surprisingly populated in this region. Also makes sense with Saudi Arabia, where like the desert kind of carries on a bit
11:52
And this is literally zero or above. So I suppose these places are still very unpopulated
11:57
but there are people there. Hence why Australia looks surprisingly full as well
12:01
But yeah, cool to see. Lighthouses of Italy. oh i love a lighthouse map that's beautiful isn't it be nice on a wall wouldn't it that oh yeah
12:08
nothing better than a lighthouse map do you know on that note we're gonna end off this video hopefully
