Hey guys, so I need to make 2 corrections:
1) Brunei’s GDP per capita is ACTUALLY closer to $30,000
2) North Korea also doesn’t have a Pizza Hut

Bonus fact 3: if you count unrecognized borders (AKA claims), France's longest border is with Australia (Antarctica)

As a Welsh person, I would like to start a petition to add the Welsh dragon to the Union Flag. You cannot tell me that wouldn't look a million times better
done.
Yup, and lets remove NI while we're at it
honestly i think all flags could benefit from having a dragon slapped on it
yes, Puff the magic dragon would look great on it
That wouldn't look a million times better
This 8 minute video is more useful than most of the content that I usually see promoted on this platform.
Its not Useless Facts, Its THE BEST Facts!
Hahaha only the BEST :)
Still useless...
Yessir!
Chads watching this 😎

@@twisstedmounir5583 yep
You know i feel like just having green as your flag would be more menacing than having an acually well made one
True
It's strange that such a war torn country had the color of nature and happiness as their flag
U mean this 🇵🇰 greeny
Boom boom
@@RakeshKR10 no this greeny is not even important the greeny in my flag matter😂
The fact that half of these were in my textbooks show that I was being fed useless knowledge 50% of the time
actually almost every fact told in the video is not useless at all. Without context they are useless and that is how they are portraied in the video but when you compare these individual facts with other related facts you can make conclusions. That is how science and school works mate
I was surprised by the fact that there are more than 20 000 castles here in germany. But them i realised that i'm living basically next to a castle myself and that this castle is pretty small and then i thought that probably most of those castles are so small and then it all made sense again.
This is the longest video in your channel with a lot of info, good work man 👍
Thank you bro!! I appreciate the support a lot. There is actually another, longer video where I compared the USA to China!
@@global.things compare the two rival factions we all knew: "The West" and "The East"
@@global.things west taiwan

@@global.things compare vatican city to russia and i know i've said this many times and i already know wich country wins
But can you make a video of what if all the countries on earth formed into 1 country?
The reason Nauru is like that is because of one word, phosphate. Ninety percent of the island is covered with phosphate deposits (because of all the seabirds that stopped there before continuing their crossings) that were mined to the point it's non-arable. This phosphate actually made Nauru the richest country in the 80s, but the industry collapsed in 2002, quickly making them one of the poorest and having to rely on Australia who they made an agreement with to get aid in return for housing Australia's asylum seekers in a detention facility. And because Nauru has an airport that they were forced to build by the Japanese, they can easily get canned goods in.
That aside, love how Monaco is so small that a freakin' MARINA makes up a part of the country shape
Just like oil curse this is called phosphate curse
Thank you for the essay, kimmy 🇰🇵 🫡 🚀
@@global.things Yea and people are obese because they don’t know how to grow fresh vegetables on the island so they only eat Mac Donald’s all day
Yeah I noticed the marina on the map too, really cool.
Its sad now because now Nauru is the fattest nation because of phosphate mining if they only mined a little bit of phosphate they could be rich and not obese
I loved your geographical facts so much being a geography student that I m subscribing u
4:50 yoooo i remember this fact, i had an educational table as a kid and it had number letters and flags. And libya was just green and it was fascinating.
“The Netherlands is the tallest country in the world”
Makes sense it was in people category and not geography
If they were short they would have no chance against the sea
the people are so tall that their heads are above sea level
Alltought I know many of these, there was still many very cool facts that I didn't knew. Very good video!
Your content ideas very informative, entertaining and knowledgeable. GOD BLESS
Fun fact: earth is a planet
🤯
Nah really?!
We know, duuh?
Nice work! Cannot imagine how long did it take to find those information. Keep it up!
This is amazing. Keep up the work!
Hahaha love this facts and your talking style 😆😆❤❤
I love how you used the metric system and the imperial, thankyou!
Imagine using the Zimbabwe 100 trillion dollar bill for a single bottle of water.
Now imagine the pain of the cashier having to find your change.
Funny enough, I don't even think you could buy a bottle of water for 100 trillion Zimbabwe dollars. The hyper-inflation was absolutely insane.
We only used those currencies for a few months... and you could buy a lot of things with... the trillion dollar notes only shows the hegemony the usa had in the IMF... as soon as Mugabe made his speeches against usa that's when you saw these trillion dollars... it's not like they were being printed in zim...
And what you can buy with 100 trillion US Dollars?
Indeed! But what if a bottle of water is expensive in zimbabwe??
like 100 billion zimbabwe dollars?
These videos are honestly great. Get to the point, fun to watch, and overall interesting. ^^
7:31 Actually there is a statue of Lenin
Mongolia Had the 2nd biggest Empire
Monaco is the 2nd smallest country
Yet mongolia and monaco are also opposites for this 2:05
you are so underrated hope u grow more and also I really enjoy the vids :D
Ayyy the Facts Spitter is spitting facts 😂
@@global.things lol thx! 😎
You forgot something, France actually has a territory in Antarctica too. The French Southern And Antarctic Lands is a French territory and to the north of the Heard and McDonald Islands, owned by Australia.
And thanks to all those territories france is the country with the most time zones
I don't think they meant to include absolutely every territory and it's questionable whether countries who currently claim Antarctica really own it.
@@guaranteednoob5498 you didn't read the comment right, France owns islands north of Antarctica, not the actual portion of antarctica
@@ReyGBIsoly I was gonna say this. France is located across the world in a total of 14 time zones iirc.
@@bloxyranks They were talking about the French Southern and Antarctic Lands which includes the portion of Antarctica.
“Antarctica's tallest thing is probably a penguin".
Giant glaciers- “Why are we still here, just to suffer".
My whole school life was more useless than this art. Thank you for learning me more in 8 minutes than school for 9 years
These are my favorite facts, I saw one on CZcams and loved it. Even better when you do it
Thank you my guy!!! I appreciate your feedback and might make a part 2!
3:57 and Andorra, Moldova and a few more I think
You forgot for the french oversea territories: 1/ French Polynesia (118 islands), 2/ the island of Clipperton located West of Mexico, 3/ a group of 80 islands in the Antartic ocean (TAAF), 4/ Saint Bart in the Carribean, 5/ Terre Adelie and 32 small islands located on the South pole, 6/ and finally a group of 8 islands located around Madagascar (Iles Eparses)
5:23 was unbelievable and awesome fact
And because France has Wallis & Futuna, it also means that ironically the nation that became a republic by overthrowing the monarchy...has monarchs. Yeah part of the agreement of becoming a part of France was they get to keep their kings. Wallis & Futuna has three kings, the King of Alo (eastern Futuna), King of Uvea (Wallis), and King of Sigave (western Futuna)
The French president is also one of the two Andorran princes
its not useless facts its actually fun facts 👍👍
Haha thanks lol, their main use is to impress your buddies!

I loved the video! Please do more like this in the future!
I saw this video in my recommendation 78 times and I ignored it and today 31st of December I decided to watch it, I don't regret a thing
Another interesting fact for the flags. Austria’s flag is supposed to resemble what the Duke of Austria was believed to have looked like when he returned from war. When he came back from war he was covered in blood but his belt was still white.
The domino fact is mind boggling
Lol that one was kinda goofy 😂 🍕 ☢️
Even if it seems stupid , I find these informations very interesting 🧐
Maybe you could make a comparison of big 5 VS asean !
I watched the intro and already subbed
I feel like I learned something important but also literally nothing at the same time
So regarding Rhode Island, the first to settle Rhode Island was William Blaxton, who was ALSO the first to settle Boston. He decided to join the Ferdinando Gorges Expedition in 1623. Ferdinando Gorges is the man heavily involved in British colonization of New England, including having a land grant for Maine, but never actually set foot in the Americas. Back to William. The expedition of 1623 was considered a failure and while most of his fellow settlers returned home, he decided to live on the Shawmut Peninsula (now old Boston) alone in 1625.
So why did he move? Well this was because he didn't like leaders of the Boston church, so he decided to move south to what is now Cumberland, Rhode Island. The first to settle Rhode Island in 1635, one year before Roger Williams founded the Providence Plantations.

The fact about the castles in germany is pretty funny. I had a trip to erfurt 2 weeks ago and i drove through a place with a lot of hills and there was a castle on almost every hill. There were like 6 castles in a radius of 15 km
3:37 i didnt know ukraine did world conquest
Another pair of very similar flags is galapagos islands and sierra leone. The colours are slightly different, but the only big giveaway is the aspect ratio
The tallest building in Antarctica would probably be a penguin 😂😂😂
Nice one

We are the Nordic lands/ one of the most relegius countrys in the world
Also Finland is the most hapiest

Nah bro we learn a fact in the title.

This amazing man goes out of his way to make us an eight Minuit video, which probably took 8 hours to make. He has more of a life than me!
Have a great day Alex
Everyone always forgets how similar Luxembourg and Netherlands flags are as well
3:02 my best friend immigrated from Venezuela around 2011 so that’s interesting

very nice bro!
0:13 although the *state* isn’t an island, it was actually named after the big island which used to be called Rhode Island by the Natives and is now Newport County
The fact that surprises me the most is that my country appears so often
5:10 you forgot Panama that uses dollars too
ngl i have literally learned more stuff from this than from my geography teacher LMAO
Thanks for the info my brain expanded
Fun fact: taking that australia has 42 millions of kangaroos and Uruguay have around 3,5 million of People, if kangaroos invade uruguay, each uruguayan have to fight with 27 kangaroos.

“And Antarctica’s tallest anything is probably just a penguin”💀
7:30 LOL,I like when he said for Antarctica"tallest anything" cause even if it isn't a penguin,it's not tall anyway😂😂
My favorite one was where China Russia and Pakistan has more nukes than Domino Pizza chain🤣👍🏻
7:20 The CN tower in Canada is 553 meters tall, taller than the One World Trade Centre.
You are correct but it’s not a “building” because most of the space isn’t usable. It’s considered to be in the same category as a telephone pole, for example.
@@global.things interesting
@@global.things I'm subscribed
@@global.things the sears tower in Chicago is actually the tallest because the new world trade center had included there spire but the sears tower didn't included there's
