Which country is bigger? I'm presented with two random countries and I have to conclude
0:04
which one is the largest. So this one's quite easy. It is Angola. There we go. 1.2 kilometers
0:10
squared compared to a measly 49 km. Next one's Guatemala. This is another easy one. That's
0:15
Angola all day. Look at that. Over 10 times the size. Hopefully they stay this easy. Nope
0:21
they don't. Okay. All right. Two countries in the Americas. Paraguay is going to be larger
0:25
than Guatemala though, isn't it? It's a Central American country. No Central American countries
0:29
particularly large. So let's go with Paraguay. 400k compared to 100k. Yeah, cool. Nice. All right
0:34
Belarus. This is where it gets a little bit harder, but I think this is still a win for Paraguay
0:39
Belarus is a pretty large country in Europe, but Europe as a whole is pretty small. So I think I'm
0:45
safe going Paraguay. Oh, this could be wrong. Yeah, we're fine. It's about half the size. Cool
0:50
All right. Papua New Guinea. Papua New Guinea is pretty massive. So I wouldn't be surprised if it's
0:54
like 700,000. Let's see. 400,000. Okay, I overestimated, but I still got it correct. Gabon
0:59
Oh, so this is where it gets difficult. So as I said, Europe is a particularly small continent
1:05
Africa is a massive continent. So, so many countries there are just huge. But Papua New
1:10
Guinea's big. Gabon's not one of the big players in terms of size in Africa. So I think I'm fine
1:15
to go with Papua New Guinea, but I might get this wrong. No, we're fine. We're fine. Okay, cool
1:19
Right, let's get to double figures. Let's get to 10. Israel. Israel's quite small. Gabon
1:23
there, 200k. I think Israel's probably less than 100,000. So let's go with it. Oh, look at that
1:29
20,000. Yeah, that's nothing at all. Okay, Liechtenstein, a famously tiny country. Few
1:35
more of them, please. Liechtenstein is probably less than 1,000 kilometers squared. Let's see
1:39
Look at that, 160 kilometers squared. Okay, Jamaica over in the Caribbean. Yeah, we're fine
1:45
There you go. Oh, I don't know what happened there. My brain really got scared, but I had no reason to
1:50
Okay, we are doing fine. This is a little tricky though. Spain and Jamaica. Spain is a big country
1:55
in Europe. Jamaica is a big country in the Caribbean. Yeah, I think it's going to be Spain
2:01
I think it'll be like 50, 60,000. Let's see. What? Okay, that proves me that Jamaica is way
2:07
smaller than I thought it was. Okay, Spain's not messing around with half a million kilometers
2:12
squared. Uganda. Oh, that's hard. We did make it to double figures on our first goal though
2:17
So I'm proud of that trying to visualize Uganda. It's not massive compared to other countries in Africa
2:21
But it could still be massive compared to Spain. I'm gonna say it's smaller, but I don't think it's much smaller. Let's see
2:28
Fuse the I got mixed up on what I was clicking So I got it right in terms of I knew that you got there was smaller, but I clicked it by mistake
2:40
We're in the top percent of the world already though. I think I can double that at least in this video
2:45
So let's give it another go brazil. Oh hang on is denmark just denmark or is it counting
2:52
Greenland greenland is one of the largest islands in the world. I think greenland's probably bigger than brazil
2:58
Oh this is weird because brazil is literally one of the biggest countries in the world by a lot I gonna assume that if it included greenland it would say somewhere on the text So I going to go with Brazil Let see 8 mil compared to just 43k Yeah So no Greenland involved Let find out how big Greenland is though Whoa
3:14
2.1 million kilometers squared. So even though that's massive, it's still considerably smaller
3:19
than Brazil. I think I still want to see that. So Greenland looks huge up here, but obviously
3:23
that's just because of the projection. So let's grab Greenland and get a proper visualization
3:28
nation drag it over brazil oh it really shrivels up and then vice versa if we grab brazil brazil's
3:33
about to get gigantuous okay okay fair enough okay that's good to know oh china all of the big players
3:41
are in town this round so china is another famously gigantuous country like i think it's top five
3:47
that's really difficult i'm trying to visualize the both on a map and they feel a similar size to
3:52
me but obviously like i said the projection does throw us off i think i'm gonna go with brazil but
3:56
I think China's maybe 6 million. Let's see. 9.5 million. A bad, bad start. We got a score of one
4:04
there. All right, we're grabbing Brazil and we're going to put it in front of China. Let's get a good
4:08
look at this. You ready? It's hard to compare them because they're different angles, but if you look
4:13
a lot of what is Brazil is covering many different countries here, whereas China actually starts like
4:19
up here. So yeah, fair enough. Makes sense. All right, we have a score of one to beat, but I do
4:23
want to get to 20 in this video iran and jordan iran's pretty big there we go 1.6 compared to 89k
4:30
nothing absolutely nothing south africa nah it's tricky because it's really low down but i think
4:37
iran's still fine it was much closer than i expected it to be okay samoa that's an easy one
4:42
south africa look at that one of the smallest we've had so far this video right come on let's
4:46
speed our way all the way up to 20 that's what i want to get to we've got 10 let's double it cape
4:50
verd nah thanks but no thanks that's italy all the way please uh next up antigo and barbuda oh so
4:57
we're getting many little island nations um hmm that's the one i don't know this is a really tricky
5:02
one to be given because i'm guessing they're probably a similar size i am gonna say cape
5:07
verd let's see oh 10 times the size so antigo and barbuda very small caribbean country thailand
5:14
that's an easy one there you go 500k for thailand nice next up iceland um it's definitely going to
5:20
gonna be Thailand actually look at that okay about five times the size of Iceland fair enough and we're
5:25
on eight already Mongolia another famously large country uh 1.5 mil I will take that got a score
5:31
of nine Hungary back-to-back Mongolia all the way please there you go give me the next one don't
5:36
have all day United Arab Emirates uh that's tricky it's literally a 50-50 for me they might be really
5:43
different but in my head they're really similar I'm gonna go United Arab Emirates actually yeah
5:47
I think it's probably double the size. Let's see. Oh, no. We matched our previous high score
5:55
Okay, okay. We go again. Fiji and Tonga. Ooh, Fiji. Why not
6:00
Two small oceanic countries. Fiji considerably larger, though. Fair enough. Sudan massive country Let go for it 1 million Sudan people don realize quite how large it is So Sudan an easy one I love when we get somewhere that just huge because it gives us at least two points basically Togo So we just had that one No no no we didn We had Tonga I always
6:20
getting them two mixed up with each other. Uh, Ireland and Togo. Ah, that's so difficult. I think
6:25
Togo, though. I bet it's probably three times the size. It's not. Ah, we're getting worse. This
6:32
always happens. Come on, I want to get to 20. United States, there he is. What's that? 9.5
6:37
million. I think that's the largest we've had this video. I think Brazil was the only one to get
6:40
close. Tuvalu, no thanks. See you later, Tuvalu. Toodaloo to you, Tuvalu. Oh, Seychelles. Hmm
6:48
she says shells on the Seychelles. Seychelles. Yes, she does. Ah, I'm gonna go Seychelles
6:55
And that was the right decision. Tuvalu, very, very tiny. Cambodia, nope, that's fine. 108
7:01
1,000. Nice. Come on. I just want to get to 20. Uruguay. Ah, see, they both feel like they're a
7:07
similar shape and a similar size to me, in my head at least. They've got to be really similar
7:11
so I think it's a 50-50. Cambodia, quite large there. I'm going for it. Oh, I said they were
7:17
really similar. All right, I'm going to compare them. Cambodia, there you go. Kind of circular
7:22
and squidgy. That's what I was expecting. Uruguay, there you go. Really similar kind of basic
7:26
six generally circular shapes there. They're not similar the closer you go, but from this distance
7:31
they're just a couple of blobs. Okay, Botswana. Botswana's considerably larger than Uruguay
7:36
so that is a click for me. We're halfway. Oh, no, no, we're a little bit more. We're on six
7:40
Colombia. Botswana. Ooh. Colombia's not small. I think it'll be triple digits, but I don't think
7:45
it's half a mil. What? What? Colombia? Let me have a look at Colombia. All right, there's Colombia
7:51
Do you know what? I think I was thinking of Ecuador's sizes. That is a pretty massive country
7:56
isn't it come on i just want to get to 20 right china this is the speed run we're not overthinking
8:01
9.5 mil thank you china next up north korea see you later north korea china all the way don't
8:06
call me on that one next is iceland nope that's north korea it was quite close though but we made
8:12
the right decision uh saudi arabia there you go thank you two mil massive country united kingdom
8:18
no goodbye row row away britannia because united kingdom is out oh no he's actually stuck around
8:24
Well, that's embarrassing. Pakistan. Yeah, why not? We're flying through it. This is nice. Bhutan
8:29
pretty small. So I'll stick with Pakistan, please. Yeah, look at that. Only 38k for Bhutan. All right
8:33
next up is Turkmenistan. That's another dub for Turkmenistan. Bye-bye, Bhutan. Bangladesh. Hmm
8:39
I think Bangladesh will be a little bit lower, but I'm not 100% sure. Let's see. It's actually
8:44
quite a bit lower. We're about to beat our high score of the video. Bangladesh, Gabon. Hmm. I think
8:49
Gabon was quite low, wasn't it? I think it was like 20, 30,000. So let's... Oh, no. We can't get
8:54
Higher than 10. I said I was going to get 20. I feel like that's a pipe dream at this point
9:00
Let's go again. Komoros, Nauru. These are such obscure, tiny little countries
9:04
I don't know how big Komoros or Nauru are. I'll go Nauru. Oh, that's not good
9:09
Nauru. More like Nauru Nope I don have a pun Gabon Rwanda Oh quite complimentary flag colours It a shame they don line up I like it nonetheless I going Gabon Gabon bigger than I remember it being
9:22
Nice, right decision. Next up, Myanmar. Yeah, sure, why not? Myanmar's big, you know
9:27
Okay, next up is Serbia. Nah, you got nothing on Myanmar. Serbia quite large though, to be fair
9:32
South Sudan. So I said Sudan was massive. South Sudan is considerably smaller
9:36
but I think it's probably still larger than Serbia. So let's go for it. Oh, look at that
9:40
That is a big country. Africa, as I said, continent-wise, is just gigantuous
9:44
Or perhaps it's more that just Europe is teeny tiny. Cuba and South Sudan
9:48
No, sorry, Cuba. Cuba bigger than I would have said, though. Okay, right, we're on five
9:53
Albania. So if Serbia was like 88,000, I think Albania's a little bit smaller, maybe
9:58
So I think I'm safe clicking on Cuba. Okay, Albania apparently a lot smaller
10:03
Brazil, thank you. Easy one, 8.5 million. Next up, Canada. Oh, so that's the second largest country in the world, right
10:11
Russia, Canada, United States, Brazil. I'm probably getting one wrong. It's not Indonesia, right
10:18
I think that's most populated. So I think it's China. Okay, I did name the five countries
10:23
but I got them in the slightly wrong order. China's third. So United States and Brazil come first
10:28
Okay, fair enough. But after that, we definitely know that it's Canada. But I did know that already, so I'm not cheating
10:33
Okay, let's go with Canada. Thank you. Look at that, 9.9. Oh, just short 10 mil though
10:37
That's a shame. They should claim some territory off Russia or something. Nigeria cannot compete with Canada, even though it is a very large country. Come on, we're on nine
10:45
Yemen, nah, that's Nigeria all the way. Yemen, much bigger than I expected it to be, though. Okay
10:50
so we're officially on 10. We've got St. Lucia, which means I definitely know that Yemen is larger
10:56
than St. Lucia, and we have a new high score of the video. Thank you, Bosnia. Ooh, yes. Let's go
11:04
with Bosnia. Yeah, of course. Why was I questioning that? Solomon Islands, hmm, so there's going to be
11:08
Loads and loads of islands spread out, but I think they're all tiny, tiny little fellas. So I'm going to go with Bosnia
11:14
Oh, it started going up, but we're fine. Okay, Saudi Arabia. Nice
11:18
We could get to 20. We can do this. Come on. Jamaica. Jamaica was bigger than I thought, but it's nowhere near the size of Saudi Arabia
11:25
Nice. We're on 15. 20. 20. 20. Uganda. Yeah. Uganda. Here we go
11:30
Excellent. China. That's an easy one. Oh my God. We're getting to 17
11:34
Oh, 20 is just around the corner. Samoa. It's a freebie. It's a freebie next up next up mongolia another really easy one. We're on 19
11:42
So if I get this I get my goal of the video and i've done it There we go. We have got to 20, but guess what it does not end kuwait maldives
11:51
Kuwait, please We're fine. We're fine. I panic when it's like a 17 versus a 300, but we are fine the gambia
11:58
That's a small country, but kuwait's very small as well. I'm gonna say Gambia
12:03
And i'm wrong. Okay, well, we got to 21 and i've been told wow
12:07
That was good. Thank you, higher or lower game.com. I appreciate the kind words
