Denmark Agricultural Land (% Of Land Area) 65% abele to make food for 16 million people, with 5,8 million population. Danish agriculture and food is word famous whit often winning the number one spot in international awards for best restaurant and chefs (can be a little elitist) Americans having named food after us “danish” and danish bacon being popular in UK and the US, Japan also likes danish pork. Carlsberg beer is danish. Serbia has 35% Agricultural Land (% Of Land Area) but I don’t know the number of people you can feed with that it’s not always the same productivity or population density per Km2.
But I’ve never heard about Serbia food, only a x Yugoslavian tradition that I think Serbia also has a tradition alcoholic drink high % that was unbelievable strong and was claimed to be intended to be served pure 🥴 that was as fun as drinking tequila, with little to remember about 😮 Sweden and Norway also makes food but there farmers are mostly in the south of the country and not like Denmark 65% farmland which is very high %
What's the name of the violin piece before the outro?
You forgot ireland
"Heaven is where the police are British, the cooks are French, the mechanics German, the lovers Italian and it's all organized by the Swiss.
Hell is where the chefs are British, the mechanics French, the lovers Swiss, the police German and it's all organized by the Italians."
I'm really curious to know about this joke. I aware Brits has the worst food but... I don't get the rest of the second sentence.
This is amazing
@@cloudynguyen6527french cars suck, so their mechanics have to do so too. The swiss are super cold and unfriendly. Italians can barely organise a football match, not to mention anything serious. German police is about as understanding as the SS soldiers were during ww2 with a certain ethnic group. Youre going to get a fine 😂
@@cloudynguyen6527
The British are known for their bad (local) food (like the Dutch and the Scandinavians) but for being fairly orderly and polite in public. For a long time policemen on patrol in the UK did NOT carry guns!
The French of course have an excellent cooking tradition, but traditionally were though to be a bit lazy and unorganized. The later is not really true anymore nowadays
The Germans have a reputation for industrial products (and good cars) but being too obsessed with order and law. In particular the Prussian police was considered to be quite rigorous in law enforcement.
THe Italian are considered to be chaotics (in particular the Southern Italians) but also having a "dolce vita" attitude, making the best out of life and romance.
The Swiss the Germans squared. Extremely organized but utterly boring.
@@michaelrenper796 I think French mechanics are supposed to be bad because France is more commonly associated with creative arts rather than science and technology. Which is also untrue (well duh, it's a stereotype) since there's Renault, Peugeot, Citroën etc.

Ah, you mean the Brazilian province that speaks Spanish funny?
He skipped Denmark and Norway, and only talked about Sweden and Finland. One of which isn't even in Scandinavia.
Me a "Central Italian", slightly funnier than a northerner, slighlty less lazy than a southerner, cultivating a deep hatred for both. Literally a Slovenian of the Balkans 2.0

4:34 Deutsche Bahn just added 2 hours of delay to your next train through G*rmany for this slander
AH VERDAMNT NUN KOMM ICH ERST IN DREI WOCHEN IN KÖLLE AN
The trains really put the efficient German stereotypes to question
hasn't this been happening ever since the protests at the start of the year?
@@helton3425it's been happening since the DB was privatized in the 90s
Upper management sees more money in other ventures so they neglect the passenger traffic and the German gov is owned by the car lobby who want the population to be reliant on Volkswagen and Mercedes
@@helton3425 This has been happening since the founding of the German Reich
In Germany trains never leave 2 minutes late. It's usually 3 hours
technically after 1 hour delay the train gets skipped so its no longer late in the statistic.
And they'll switch tracks 30 seconds before departure
no later than 3 hours and 2 minutes.
There was even one clip where the train took an entirely wrong way and ended up in another city
Buddy there’s an important distinction between 3 hours and 2 hours 57 minutes 43 seconds 293 Miliseconds 345 Nanoseconds 2938 Microseconds
Finland: We are not Scandinavians!
Other countries: No, you are.
Estonia: But we are Scandinavians too!
The world: No, you aren't.
lmao I understand that quite a bit as my wife is Estonian, fun fact Finland, Estonia and Hungary all belong to the same language group and they are all extremely complicated compared to most other European languages.
@@dominuslogik484Finno-Ugric language family, you mean?
I have always imagined that the realest you is what others say about you (I say I'm nice and generous person, other's say I'm asshole and selfish. Which one is more likely tue?)
The Scandi-denial of finns probably stems from the fact that they travel very little and think themselves as very special and original but after you've seen 50+ countries across the world you see that they're fully scandinavians even if they don't know it
@@lisaanimi I see your point, but that isn't always true. For example many people say "Polish death camps" even though they weren't Polish but German and Russian. It's a name that German media uses to whitewash its own history, and many people are actually using it. There are objective historical facts
and that what people say doesn't matter. Some would argue saying that Finland is not located on Scandinavian peninsula ergo it's not Scandinavian country. The thing is Denmark and Iceland aren't as well. Personally I think that Finland have very close cultural connection, but it's not completely Scandinavian. The same way as Hungary isn't Slavic.
@@dominuslogik484 I wouldn't say "complicated", I would just say "different". Other languages have more similarities, like mother/mutter/moder/madre which makes them easier to learn, yes, but finnish is very easy aside from that.
I don't know about hungarian/estonian, but finnish atleast is actually beautifully simple. There are no exceptions in the grammar, everything make sense, and it's the same with pronounciation and spelling. A non-finnish person can read a finnish book and be understood perfectly, even if they have no idea what the words mean. And I mean that literarly, my wife who doesn't speak a word of finnish regularly read finnish children-books to the kids at her job and they understand every word. They'll get really surprised afterwards when they try to speak to her and she can't understand a word of what they are saying... She couldn't have done the same to a bunch of french children.
I've heard it's because written finnish wasn't made formal until very late in history because the people who were literate where swedish or russian for most of finnish history, so there is little or no "historical baggage" where pronounciation have changed while the written language have remained the same.
7:11 thank you for confirming the fact that Arnold was actually Hungarian all along

As a romanian, I can tell you, in Romania we do not deny the global supremacy of the Hungarian empire. Why ?
Because you cannot deny something that does not exist in the first place.
As a finn I am legally required to once again say that Finland is NOT a scandinavian country

Technically it is not. But in fact the choice is between being a breakaway Russian province and a Scandinavian country.

I visited Denmark and the American immigrant I met there said the same thing
Should have gone to a real country like Sweden #danmarkärinteettland
the country exists but there is nothing there i have ever seen a Danish person i know people who travelled everywhere in europe expect for the north because they went to denmark and became broke after buying a drink .and then found out Sweden is even more expensive and decided to go back to Germany instead .it was also very boring like there is just nothing there that you can't find in other European countries

bespreekbaarheid actually could be best translated as "discussableness", since "bespreken" means "to discuss".
but yeah, it essentially has the same point ur trying to paint across, meaning "the degree of which a thing/things is/are okay to discuss"
Question, is that cultural concept the reason why there are no Dutch soap operas

"Scandinavia"
*Shows Finland*
Did you see his video on Balkan schools? Surprised the dude knows how to read. Plus I think he spent some time growing up in the US and here we 1000% just lump Finland in with Scandanavia, plus we have to devote a good bit of class time running drills on how to duck
I think it's postirony
At this point most people(at least within the demographic that watches/creates videos about countries) already know Finland is not part of Scandinavia, but just don't care if they use it incorrectly, because they like the term. Same with Holland.
@@michaelsilver253 It's pretty clear he makes errors like that on purpose to piss the kinds of people who'd get mad over that. That map of Finland when he said that "Finland is their Hungary" gave most of Lapland to Sweden and Finland now has Kola peninsula and a massive coast line along the White sea.
We all know Finland is Mongolian and therefore Asian.
As a german, i love the way he described germany and austria.
however, one can only imagine a day, where the Deutsche Bahn doesnt come fucking late.
Germans: Import cheap labor force from the Balkans and Eastern Europe
Germans: Shocked that somehow their railways became like the one in the Balkans and Eastern Europe! 🤣
He didn't say the trains are never late, he specifically said that every time a train is late, the Germans waiting for it get a brain aneurysm, which is true.
*Here in brazil we made the region with most german descendance be know as they gayest region of the all, fitting*
Das ist traurig aber wahr. Aber noch ist Deutschland nicht verloren. Wenn der Osten stabil bleibt und der Westen es wird, dann sind die Züge ab Herbst 2025 wieder pünktlich
while I can understand why the trains are not on time anymore, I have less understanding why the air-conditioning systematically fails when it gets hot
I love how the dutch are referred to as swamp Germans. Very accurate.

It's a relatively new reality. In the past Germany was the Japan of European punctuality... Slowly this has transferred to the swiss during the later 20th century
Also something about the Finns, calling them Scandinavian pisses them off. Also all of the Nordics have a fair share of bad food (I'm Finnish and can't stand some Finnish dishes) but only the Swedes eat fermented fish, though Iceland has fermented shark
Hey now, If you piss on that fermented shark you can make gunpowder. Then you can invent firearms 100 yrs before the Chinese did & promptly forget how cause there’s nobody worth shooting on your isolated desolate island

I do think there is some kind of corellation between North-Germanic culture and Protestantism.
Whether Protestantism made the areas where it was adopted more introverted, or our more introverted culture made Protestantism more successful here is a tough question, though.
These people think Germans and Swiss are "protestants"... which is not true, we are more of "reformists".... Zwingli and Luther dismissed the Worsmerbible written by "little hats" around Guttenburg and then translated it to english which made Ana-Baptism in UK and then Baptism/prescrobians in the US (Little-Hat-Christianity), major different from German and Swiss "reformed" who dismissed the work of dem0ns and little hats
@@Yora21wrong. See my last comment.... germans and swiss reformists Luther (Luther bible) and Zwingli (Zurich bible) the first german translations.. dismissed the wormserbible, which was "the first germanic" bible made by little hats around Guttenburh which later got translated to english and spread to UK and US as ana-baptism "jude0a-christianity"

Damn, Scandinavia will never get away from the "being too cold" allegations.
I mean, it's just as hot here as the rest of Europe during summer at least. The other seasons are fine too. Except for winter, we don't talk about that.
even thouhg i was born is austria, i have spent most of my childhood living in norhtern parts of sweden and yes it gets very cold during winter
specificly recall one lunchbreak in school where we where forced by the teachers to go play outside even though it was -30 degrees (celsius) outside and you could litterally feel your nose-hairs become icecicles within seconds.
also it snows tonn-wise and the ways we make through the snow sometimes reminds of snow-trenches.
also a cool thing about this place: during summer the sun does not set, the light just gets slightly dimmed during nighttime (this is because its very close to the polar-circle)
ever seen that star wars film where they ride through the snow-planet and almost freeze to death? thats what giong to school in the morning feels like up here
@GustavFranzWeissingerMIDe FYI it's the empire strikes back
The winter is the best part of living in Scandinavia.
The other seasons you can have anywhere else but you´d have to go to northern Russia, Alaska, Canada, Greenland and Iceland to find winters as lovely cold as in Scandinavia.
Once I arrived in Finland, out of pure curiosity I decided to look into the study about the anti-depressants in europe from statistica, and apparently when you country considers a psychologist as part f public health anti depressants naturally increase.
There have been studies that look into the speculated numbe of people in need of anti depressant perscription in europe and Scandinavia and Finland are placed still relatively high but far from the top 5 countries.
Just a minor correction. You are thinking of psychiatrists, they are the ones that will treat anything wrong mentally with some medication.
People can often get over their problems with just some talking to a psychologist and making small conscious changes in their life.
So if a psychiatrist is involved in public health model, it makes sense that andi depressants use will rise.
@@relight6931 I said psychologist. If most people speak to psychologists they will eventually be suggested to look for a medical treatment. Unlike in countries that they can't do that. Psychiatrists are not in public health as long as I am aware. I know that you can be given a written form from your psychologist to meet a psychiatrist and that can be partly paid by your public healthcare insurance.
Even back in Greece I was prescribed Adderall from a psychologist, I just got my file on a psychiatrist to read it and sign the prescription, I didn't even pay for it.
@@gaarakabuto1 Fair enough. I didn't think it through. Yeah, if talking and making small changes doesn't solve the problem, then you are passed on to the one able to write prescriptions..
As a Belgian, being ignored when western Europe is talked about is a very accurate stereotype
On the topic of France, the US has its fair shair of modern impact, ww2 having started the whole french bashing all the way to recent conflicts where an actual anti french campaign was tried by the US gov to replace most if not all french words from american vocabulary, including the hilarious attempt to change French Fries to Liberty Fries, all because France refused to send its soldiers in the middle East post 9/11 lmao

One thing that surprised me about Germany is that they love cars and driving FAST. REALLY FAST.
Which is ironic since almost everybody calls them stoic, cold and unfun...
because the rules say that there are no rules on the autobahn
Because you meet them during worktime. Meet them during their weekly allotted fun having time and you will know.
@@KorianHUNfunfact George Orwell based the entity of his novels on the concept the "the Germans"
They only drive fast on straight autobahns, its boring as hell. The French, brits, estonians, finns and swedes are the ones who know how to drive fun.
It's just out of principle, because the law allows it. "Freie Fahrt für Freie Bürger" is what the Second Amendment is to Americans. Also we Germans mastered the art of doing fun activities without having fun. We make a contest about who's the most serious at it.
As a Dutchman, may I say: ROUNDS ARE FECKING STUPID. JUST MAKE EVERYONE PAY FOR THEIR OWN DRINKS. THAT'S THE ONLY BLOODY FAIR WAY OF PAYING. IT'S ALSO REALLY EASY.
If you don't have money, that's fine. I'll send you a tikkie later OK?
Die goede ouwe VOC handels mentaliteit he maat en als Bram nog een bier wilt kan hij dat betalen met zijn eigen kud geld oke
Rounds are easier than everyone going up to the bar to buy their own drinks individually. I didn't know the Dutch were the Israelis of Europe until now
@@slynt_ Then one guy orders for everyone and everyone tikkies them. Just make sure to get the reciept so you can keep easy track of things. Rounds ARE needlessly complicated no matter which way round you spin it. If rounds were optimal, us Dutch would use it.
Also we are the actual INVENTORS of capitalism, of course we are greedy (Not really, we just embrace the stereotype and have a rich history and present as a trading nation). We just don't like to flaunt our wealth.
Us Dutch had the most profitable company EVER (Also the first ever publically trade one.) and our rich merchants still lived in rijtjeshuizen, while the rich merchants of Italy lived in palaces for instance. Sure on the INSIDE you couldn't tell the differance between the two, the houses where filled with gold, expensive furniture, paintings stolen artifacts from the people they were exploiting, the works. But still technically just rijtjeshuizen.

As a dutchman, lol you skipped Belgium.

What did he skip? I think some of your comment is missing, it only reads "As a dutchman, lol you skipped "
1:38 firstly, when the full coloured french flag appeared, i only saw white flag and didn't spot the difference
Ironically, the White Flag with Fleurs de Lys reminds the times when France was the European military powerhouse, and when multiple coalitions were needed to confront them.
The flat, eastern part of Austria is often described as being the Balkan of the Germanic world. There's a saying "The Balkan starts at the Rennweg" (which is a famous Viennese street). And the further south you go it looks more and more like Slovenia.

Because it is not Western Europe, nor is Austria.
Central Europe
czech republic is western europe china is central Europe Texas is eastern europe.
Bohemia is more or less Centre/East

I think it was actually used as a chemical weapon delivered via drone last year.

My brother in Christ, I was not expecting a Chile reference at 7:13 . Seeing my country out of nowhere almost makes me drop the whole soda bottle I had on my hand. But yeah, the thing is from a Chilean animation, a clusterfuck made in GTA san Andreas more than a decade ago narrated with Loquendo, a popular text to speech software popular in this godforsaken side of the rock. You brought back good memories sir, thank you.
The "Ongezellig" cameo. 😂

@@ProvenceBallSame with TCoAaL. He has good taste.
When people from scandinavia come to Germany (or any other country with cheap alcohol) they're always drunk.
Your jokes are so bad that alcohol is needed to cope with them.
I would do the same if alcohol is that expensive in my home country.

I love Germany. I'm not German, but I study German studies at Uni and every day I learn something new about this country, which makes me love it even more. I adore their culture, philosophers and national mentality. And the "Ordnung" brings me so much peace and joy that I'd never want to live any other way. Germany is one of my favorite countries in the world! And we shouldn't judge it based on just the war times, because this country is a lot more than that.
I am greek, and I believe that pretty much everyone above the age of 14 is of the same opinion. These videos are humoristic however, and not philosophical, or analytic.
If you like 'Ordnung' you will love the "Anzeigenhauptmeister". Do you know him? Look him up on YT! He's a living national treasure and a flagship of the traditional german value of -Denunziantentum- helping ones fellow citizens recognising their lapses. Also you may like this documentary about beloved german pastimes: "Nitpickers, pedants among us" czcams.com/video/whNy5FyiLps/video.htmlsi=h6RUnjGR-s7hTyAq
Beste ordnungsliebende Grüße und viel Erfolg bei deinem Deutsch-Studium! 👋😄
The only good thing about Germany is the very under appreciated fact that no matter where and when you are, there is always top quality potable water nearby. The worst thing about Germany is the never mentioned fact that no matter where and when you are, there is always SOMEONE nearby. I will never understand how anyone in his right mind can want to immigrate here. Even in the tiniest backwater villages there is like 8923756 inhabitants per square meter.
The influences of those times sadly slowly fade away. It's a country which seems to live off its past glories but can't get it together today although it has a lot potential. One might compare it to the UK.
7:53 You hit me hard with that nostalgia bomb
England has never colonized France, England's king was also the Duke of Normandy, the English crown eventually began to control more of France than the French king, so the French king began attacking England's French provinces.
Even other French such as the Burgundians sided with England on this.
Hollywood really doesn't graps what the 100 years war was
Delusional
@@smal750 it's not delusion, it's history, France didn't have much central authority until the renaissance, it was a kingdom made up of many Dukes and Barons who would keep attacking each other when they got too powerful, and the Duke of Normandy had a monopoly on power because he was also the King of England.
The Burgundians were French who formed their own separate Duchy and agreed to become allies with the English crown because they had the common enemy of France
@@smal750 He is right, at this point of history in Middle-Ages, it was more Feudal confrontations between two French feudal houses, rather than wars between France and England as we hear today.
This dude talking about Western Europe is just something else other than another regular video of his
That line from Mucsi Zoltán really cracked me up :D Highly unexpected.
New subscriber. I love the comical jabs on your videos and as a member of managed democracy (aka the US) I eagerly await more funny videos. Especially on the US and America's. Ik egotistical but we can't help it :b.
France: Surrendering to everyone stereotype. Or that they burn a whole village as part of a casual protest and they protest for anything and everything.
Austria: They are the experts to start a world war and blame it to the germans, while make the world believe that a german musician was actually austrian. Oh and the Australia jokes count as stereotypes?
France surrendering isn't really a European stereotype. It's an American stereotype of the French that they made up at the same time they tried to change the name of their "french" fries to freedom fries...
Most of the Austria jokes come from the time they were unsuccessfully running the prison of nations.
@@antoinedemm7533 I bet there was a major British support in that effort.
As France supported the US independence against the UK on the first place. So I doubt that the US made that up and not the British.
Nobody in Europe has that stereotype about France, it's a Murican thing.
And no, the British didn't make that up, it's fully a US thing, since the US is not really known for being historically literate anyway and its only knowledge about French military history is the last century. The UK/England has been a rival of France for a thousand years, England has many stereotypes about France "French surrender" isn't one of them, because unlike the US England (and the rest of Europe for that matter) actually knows what France has been capable of for centuries, as much as the UK likes to throw banter at France
@@MW_Asura "Nobody in Europe has that stereotype about France, it's a Murican thing."
Miért van a francia tankokon visszapillantó tükör? Hogy lássák az ellenséget miközben visszavonulnak.
Hány francia katona kell Franciaország megvédéséhez? Nem tudjuk, még sosem próbálták.
Yeah, nobody in Europe... 'Murican thing, ofcourse... That's why even Hungary has at least a few joke about it... Yeah sure Nobody in Europe..

1:11 no way its Peter
the dude behind the France title is an italian youtuber named Luis. It's a video where he reviews french pastries and croissant during the recent protest.
swamp germans has to be the funniest thing i've heard in a long time.
your videos are great man, thanks.
The thing about the splitting the bill and being your own drink food to a barbecue party, is a Protestant Christian culture thing, it’s probably a Germanic cultural thing that led to Protestant reformation because the catholic traditions when so much against the culture. But being good at managing your money might have an impact on Germanic country’s economic stability 🤷♂️
