His "Excellency President Kevin Baugh" apparently started his own country inside the US called Molossia... We had to go see it to find out what it's all about.

Makeshift nation is a great idea for you guys
Make a name Yesonia
Yes i for sure would be down for a yes theory nation!

I get the joke but a bit of reality:
Over 6% of the United States has confirmed Covid-19.
If there was one person infected in Mollasia, it'd be 1 out of 35, or around 2.75%
That's *terrifying*

Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩❤️🇲🇾
this reminds me of playing minecraft as a kid with my friends and making these towns/cities/nations on a private server and being semi-"in character" roleplay but also genuinely acting like a community even when we werent roleplaying, designated jobs and rules n stuff. its really cool that you find humans doing the same thing at different ages in different worlds and being able to have fun with it instead of it getting turned into some weird cult like some other communities tend to get. the president seems super chill to hang out with, just a man who turned his fun dream as a 15 year old into a reality :)
Lmao same me and my friends had a realm like that a couple months ago
Who asked
Thats enough cookies to cause hyper inflation and devalue his entire currency
Except if the backing is the cookie dough, as long as they don't bake the cookies, they're fine. If they make paper money, that can still be traded in for cookie dough. Once they bake the cookies though, if they don't destroy the paper money, then it would be hyperinflation because the paper money no longer has backing.
It was a tactical attack to make Molossia fall and Yes Theory Micronation prevail
@@browneyes142a wot.. Lmao
Thats exactly what I thought when they said they tried to make a good impression. I literally yelled out "inflation tho!" 🤣
Inflation works by a country printing more money so the currency has less backing. Giving cookie dough would be like giving gold to the US (if we were still on the gold standard). It wouldn't affect the currency in a negative way. The value of the money would either increase or stay the same if they stored it away in a vault and saved it in case of a depression.
Fun fact: They call taxes from the United States “foreign aid”.
Wait they get taxes from the US, or do they like everybody pay them ? Cause if so they are not receiving any foreign aid ...
Please specify !
Overkiller DARED maybe the commenter meant them paying taxes to the US they consider as foreign aid TO the US
Overkiller DARED since the United States doesn’t recognize molosia as a real thing, they believe that it is still apart of the United States so they can legally tax them. They just call is foreign aid
@@denzelsmashsymptom4264 no they pay taxes to the usa and they call it foreign aid to the usa

Yes Theory: their currency is tied to the value of cookie dough
Also Yes Theory: floods the local economy causing severe inflation
Excatly what I thought ^^
This comment sent me 😭💀💀
It would actually cause deflation
the value of the currency would become stronger due to the ratio of cookie dough to money tho
Deflation* and they just print more money. Problem solved

Thank you guys for all the positive vibes you are putting out there, i sumble upon one of your videos in a bad let's say bad mind disposition and what is so penetrating about your videos is the honesty of the caracters...Starting a nation or a city is a great idea that can be built around self sufficiency when it comes to the physiological needs, starting with a farm - Permaculture Farm! - seems something to consider :) as the model of north american tribes where wisdom rules not power or informations...keep up the good work :)

Yes theory: causes mega hyper-inflation
If the currency is backed by cookie dough, adding more cookie dough to the reserves would increase the value of the currency, not decrease it. Deflation not inflation.
@ThreeRunHomer if there is more of a product and the demand stays the same the value goes down. And if the worth of the currency is bound to the price of cookies that goes down, the value of the currency goes down. Inflation. Or am I wrong?
Mr. Q If a currency is backed by gold, and more gold is added to the nation’s gold reserve, the value of the currency goes up which is deflation not inflation. The same is true if the currency is backed by cookie dough.
ThreeRunHomer Hyperinflation has been caused by countries printing too much money, so when there's more of a certain thing, the value decreases.
@@mr.dynamite3625 getting more cookie dough isn't the same as printing more money. It would be like finding more gold.

I think Yes Theory just caused a massive inflation bringing that chest of Cookie Dough in.

Wouldn't it do the opposite? There's more cookie dough which would make the currency more valuable?
-1 subs without uploading a video nah the more currency distributed the less valuable it is
@@tuckermayatt2705 But there is less currency in relation to the cookie dough it's based on
-1 subs without uploading a video think of it like this, if you are in a group of 4 people and you have 1 thing of value but your friends don’t then you are the richest out of them, but if your friends then suddenly receive 1 of the same things that you have, yours isn’t as valuable anymore is it?

Bruh, they single handedly inflated an entire country’s economy
I'm not an economics guy. But i think their currency just got upvalued.
If hundred currency notes can buy 100 cookies available that means 1 note = 1 cookie.
If 1000 cookies are available for 100 notes then 1 note = 10 cookies.
_upvalued_
@@zainkhalid5393 if that’s the case then Venezuela has the most upvalued currency in the world
@@Mahoot
I'm sure it doesn't work like that.
What i know is that Venezuela ran short of money. So it printed alot of money meanwhile it's resources remained the same. So there were more currency notes for the same resources.
In this video, The currency notes remained the same for more resources.
Nope, they deflated it. More cookie dough means less valora's for each pound (kg?) of cookie dough. Inflating it would mean to print more bills for each pound it ties its value to.
@@zainkhalid5393 the man did what im saying we need to do. Make sure everyone has enough cookie dough (to pay rent etc, in this analogy) whereas the way we have it now the amount you earn is based on what youve already earned, and it goes to the companies whose products youre buying with what (if any you even have) left not what you say you need to survive. I bet if Mary Sue living in Molossia said she was running out she'd get help, not told to "eat less cookies so shed have more"
