I KNOW THE UK IS MISSING FROM THE MAP, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY, I'M SORRY.
Also: Would you be interested in knowing the countries with the LEAST number of embassies?
It’s either North Korea or South Sudan
Yes
It's because of Brexit
greece is weird in the map xd
Jervin Sevilla it’s not cos Switzerland’s there and it’s not in the EU so are some of the balkans and some of the countries bordering Russia but they’re still there.
1:00 You're taking Brexit a bit too seriously.
But why is Norway, Iceland and Kaliningrad there?
And Switzerland..
@@fyrhunter_svk Maybe it's the European common market, but that shouldn't include Kaliningrad though.
@@fyrhunter_svk its iust an european map
@@sohopedeco or St. Petersburg
7:00, fun fact, the sun still doesn't set on the British Empire due to Pitcairn. A small island in the middle of the Pacific with around 50 inhabitants. It's technically still part of the UK.
As for France. You don't make disappear a millenia long rivalry easily...
Yeah and it‘s inhabited by the descendants of the Bounty traitor‘s
The grand-children of the survivors of HMS"Bounty" , I think.
This time is the sun never sets on the British King
@@creativehacks6811 You are leaving out the five British dependencies in the Caribbean, the Falklands, Bermuda, South Georgia, Tristan da Cuhna, , Ascension, St Helena, the sovereign bases in Cyprus, and the British Indian Ocean Territories.
Conclusions: dont lose your passport in lybia no matter your nationality
There are czech embassy ;)
Don't go to said country would be a better idea
Uhhh
Its Libya
Unless you're Turkish
One fact many will not know, is that the U.K. and Canada, share “embassies” with the citizens of the other, when that country has no embassy.
Charles Nadeau not just them, Sweden does it too.
A lot of EU countries do the same. In North Korea for example.
@@fjellyo3261 all EU embassies does in fact, as long as the countries belong to the Schengen area
@@leviosadream2454 That makes sense. Though the Canada-UK is more due to the Commonwealth.
Australia and Canada have a similar arrangement, in fact I believe many commonwealth countries do
8:15 the Swiss embassies also do this for other countries:
The Swiss embassy in Teheran (Iran) is responsible for the US and Saudi Arabian interests.
The Swiss embassies in Kairo (Egypt) and in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) are responsible for the Iranian interests.
And also the Swiss embassy in Moscow (Russia) is responsible for the Georgian interests.
And since this year the Swiss embassy in Caracas (Venezuela) is also responsible for the US interests in Venezuela.
Until 2015 the Swiss embassy in Havanna (Cuba) was also responsible for the US interests.
Switzerland and Sweden are the two countries which hold the most mandates as protecting powers (I think mostly because of there long lasting neutrality).
Sweden does the same in some countries like North Korea.
Liggliluff Yeah, I already wrote this in my last sentence.
most countries, if not all, do it too.
Poor Central African Republic, it’s almost always grey.
not always
Diamond Boy, I know that’s why I said almost
@@jordangreen7886 Oh sorry, I didnt see the almost! :/
It's literally poor.
Libya is mostly grey and Western Sahara is grey
Interesting how the first 2 countries and last 2 countries in the video don't have diplomatic missions in North Korea.
Nope they dont. But Sweden does.
Even more interesting that North corea have a embassy on Spain but Spain there no 😂
Germany does
Cormac MacSuibhne I mean... NK hates Japan so that’s kind of a given hahaha
@@albertslyx3149 we have a north korean embassy in the UK
Yay Spain in the top 10 o/
Also surprised by turkey.
Nice video man
I was surprised by Turkey too!
As a Turkish I was also surprised.
@@General.Knowledge Actually that is not surprising . Turkey has huge connection with Turkic Islamic and European countries .
@@alperenbaser5595 But we all still hate her.
I wasnt surprised by Turkey as it is a Eurasian country that keeps a balance with East and West. Even though it has changed a little recently
So many countries don't have embassies in Guyana and Suriname, weird!
And Bhutan
@@seauryakumar yeah but I wasn't surprised about that one
@@ThomasTheDankEngine_ why?
@@christophmaier4397 because from what I've heard about Bhutan they really want to keep themself isolated and they are really traditional. Like they only had their first tv in 1999. They even became democratic without the population wanting it. The people liked their king so much that they wanted him to keep all the power
France and Holland have it though
1:00 The perfect map does not exi-
Fact: First Permanent Embassy in Foregin soil was the Spanish Embassy in The Vatican, to keep "close" the relations with the Pope. This is the first Embassy as we Know it, diplomatic relations and diplomatic personel have existed almost as long as comerce.
When was this built?
@@Klingklangklong Founded in 1480
Where did you read this? Do you have the source on hand? Just curious.
Fascinating subject, as usual, and very interestingly presented as always.
Congrats! Always learning with your videos! Keep up.
One thing to point out. I noticed some countries maintain relation with Bhutan via the Embassies in India itself as India is very friendly with Bhutan. So that can explain their lack of Embassies in Bhutan itself.
This was amazing, you should really have more subs
Thanks for likes everyone this is the most I’ve had
@@abhigupta358 your welcome
Thank you for this video. I have visited over 100 US Embassies and countless other diplomatic missions as a contractor mainly concerned with the buildings in an engineering capacity. I have some new insight on the work I do!

(0:40) I guess the map missing UK is an "EU" map that General Knowledge imported; that is, a map that someone estimated would be the EU. - It has removed UK, which is still in EU, and has added Iceland, Norway, Switzerland that are part of other agreements, but not EU, then also Bosnia, Serbia, (Kosovo), Albania, Macedonia. - Although the map does contain Kaliningrad, and the northern peninsula of Russia. So it is very inconsistent ... like someone was guessing and didn't look up any data.
nah he just hates UK.
Well that was informative! Nice job on the video
I would be interested in only real embassies. Not something like honorary consulate.
There are no honorary consulates to begin with. There are honorary consuls, but they do not have a consulate.
Glad to see Brazil up there as number 7. Cheers!
Do you like ayran or rakı of the 6th ranked country?
@@cdersaolka1196 - the no.6 listed country is currently Turkey, which also represents the former Ottoman Empire and the location of Lydia (western Anatolia), and the first Indo-European civilization of Antiquity, namely, the Hittite Empire. Yes, I like all of them.
10. Spain
9. Japan
8. Germany
7. Brazil
6. Turkey
5. United Kingdom
4. Russia
3. China
2. France
1. USA
0:09 I follow the account that did that map good to see it being shown to others as well!
Nice! You should now do one with countries with the fewest diplomatic missions!
The sun still hasn't set on the British Empire. They still have a few scattered islands where they have an unbroken stretch of time with the sun up.
Yep, same for France!
And the Netherlands. :D
Indeed, think about the falklands and accension island and many more
I agree! The United Kingdom still rules a few British Overseas Territories, which is basically a modern word for British colonies that weren't granted independence (or given to China, in Hong Kong's case). These British Overseas Territories (BOTs) are located in a few places around the world, mostly in islands in the Atlantic Ocean, some in the Pacific, and in a few other places. As these BOTs exist on both sides of the world, the message stated in the British motto "The sun never sets on the British Empire" still holds true, even if the phrase "British Empire" is mostly used in talking about an award.

Your voice is amazing I’m in love in them ❤️
Lol, your drawing at 00:28 depicts many small Mediterranean islands, but it forgot Britain lol. Love the video though 🧡
And also northern ireland
That was really interesting and fun.
Some people also say that the Ragusan Republic (a maritime republic based in Dubrovnik, modern Croatia) was actually the first state to recognize the US, but it was never confirmed, maybe it was an unofficial recognition.
0:56 But sometimes a consulates can establish in the host county's capital city when X country don't have must diplomatic ties to each others
Like Ireland and the Philippines
Both of those nations have consulate in Dublin and Manila respectively
Before there was an embassy but it was shut down on 2012
So the nearest Philippine Embassy in Ireland is in London
While Irish embassy are found in Singapore, or in Tokyo, Japan
Good job bro, cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
Turkey did establish relations with Armenia and in fact was one of the first countries to recognise its independence. However, due to the Karabach conflict, in which Turkey supports Azerbaijan, the diplomatic relations have been frozen since with a small talk between the two a few years ago.
As a Turkish that true . Armenia is first country that recognize new turkish state unlike others still had relation with empire
Also the Armenian genocide is a relation killer.
@@fjellyo3261 based on what? That is only the claim of Armenia, without any prove. Yes, many people died during world war I period, but remember that more Turks died because of Armenian aggresion than Armenians of Turkish aggression. Even Russian archive tells how bad Armenian terrorist (not all Armenians) killed innocent Turks when the Russian captured Ottoman cities. Same can be told about Baku. The same aggression still continues with the Qarabağ issue. How come that Armenians can live in Turkey, but Armenia has no Turks living within their borders?
What is the software he uses to make these videos.
Inntressting Video thank you for making it
Great video, if you let me add another curiosity in the topic of diplomatic mission is that Mexico have the most diplomatic missions in, another single country in the world.
Im talking about of the 50 Consulates or general Consulates in the US plus the Embassy in Washington, D.C.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_diplomatic_missions
It is not something to be proud of...
It would be interesting to see which country has the most embassies with other countries. -Counting consulates does skew the numbers in favour of large countries with spread out major cities, like USA for example, but also China and Russia.
Agree it would be interesting to see embassies only. But I think they way he was counting them was the opposite, as in not the number of "missions" within a country but the number of "missions" a country has abroad, so it does skew the numbers, but more so in favor of European countries because they have tend to have a lot of honorary consulates in said large countries with lots of large cities. For example I can pretty much guarentee you that Spain and Germany are on the list because of consulates they have in the USA, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, China, etc.
Would be interesting to see the top 10 when you count the number of diplomatic mission per capita
Why when you were drawing the map of Europe did you leave the UK out?
What about making a video about the various archipelagoes of the world?
All I know is I can't turn my head without seeing an embassy in London
Hello, I also worked in an Embassy and as of now working in a Honorary Consulate. Since my course in college is International Studies, I always seek to work in a Foreign Embassy :))
Which country
Does the one of Taiwan in Houston count as an embassy or is it just a consulate?
They are special missions tasked with Diplomatic roles, they are called trade associations, You can have either embassy with China or Taiwan.. not with both due to one China policy.
Great Video!
Thanks!! I'm glad you liked it!
You deserve 7 billion subs
:O
Thanks!!
I saw this post to and I wanted to know the same as you!😂
That guy’s hand must be so sore after drawing ✍️ all that stuff !
Maybe you should do a video on countries with the least embassies too.
9:19 Panama has already ceased all formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan (ROC) since June 13, 2017.
Like what you said, the diplomatic mission itself is the embassy, but the physical building is called a chancery.
It was @selfmade.maps right?
BRAZIL 🇧🇷
1:00 , UK not being shown in Europe, now that's what I call a bloody bri'ish dream mate
Is there a source link?
There is a Pakistani embassy in Australia.
And a couple of weeks ago, the Pakistani high commissioner held a Pakistani mango festival for the first time in the Australian-Pakistani diplomatic mission.
Fun fact about Suriname The Netherlands is the only country that has an embassy there
Old ties of the Dutch west Indies
That's wrong, France has an embassy in Suriname too.
@@arthur__lt they do border them after all
Brazil has an Embassy in all South American countries, including Suriname. (Here it's address: Maratakastraat 2, Paramaribo, Suriname)
I'm pretty sure some of the ancestor's country of suriname like indonesia have embassy on it too
11:20 - embassies represent a desire 4 nations 2 connect with each othr, have friendly relationships, work together 4 benefit of both their people.
What Brexit looks like to that one kid who thinks that the EU refers to the entire continent of Europe: 0:28
Edit: Kids in my school think we're leaving Europe itself.
Have you ever done a video of the nations which have the most foreign embassies on their territory ??
Good music choices.
How about a list of the countrife that are host to the most embassies? I seem to recall whilst watching a British Comedy Drama that it may be Cuba
Thanks for a informative video. Danke 🇩🇪🇪🇺
The new map of Europe looks pretty good 👌
You forgot the Thalmor embassy in Skyrim
Did you know in the Australian capital Canberra there’s a road that only has embassies on the side?
I though it was strange that the 1st Jsodnese European Embassy was Spain taking info consideración that the Portuguese started commerce there 1st. I tried to find some information about that and found a referente to s mission in 1586 to Portugal : “The first Japanese Embassy to Europe, in 1586. Top, from left to right: Julião Nakaura, Father Mesquita, Mancio Itõ. “ I would like yo explore this ....
Correction! My selfish Panama unilaterally cut every type of diplomatic relations with Taiwan in 2017!
I need Fun with flags
It'll be back next week! I'm posting a poll on Monday so you guys can decide on which country!
Can you do the flag from a US state
Now that TBBT has ended...
What does the light blue of the us map means, as they do not have a mission to Iran, where they are represented by the swiss.
Lord Imrahil
Exactly... it’s represented by an allied nation. Meaning that they have some sort of diplomatic mission to the country.
@@braydenbronstein1190 It is not represented by an allied nation, more a neural one, especially as the representation goes both ways, so the Iranians are represented in the US by switzerland as well.
So they do not have a diplomatic massion, just given the mandate of representation and consular services to a third party.
Lord Imrahil
Switzerland might be known as “neutral” in international questions, but it remains a close ally of the United States. The Swiss and us Americans are very similar, we’re like brothers. Beautiful country indeed, I’ve been there. But of course they remain neutral in international affairs, like Sweden. But both Sweden and Switzerland are American allies, and in case of war, they know that Uncle Sam will be first on the scene to help.
@@braydenbronstein1190 It is true that Switzerland is more on the side of the western nations, but they are not part of NATO and do still have conscription, which allows for a quit large army compared to their size. Second they do not really have to fear any of their neighbors, so no need to think about getting defended by the US, especially if anyone but the neighbors would attack they would need to go through a NATO member, which would trigger Article 5.
In response to being brothers, it is kind of true, as part of the modern constituation of switzerland was based on the US constitution, but changes like proportional representation and pubic iniciatives and referendums have changed that up a bit.
Economically the US and Switzerland might be kind of important, as there is a sizable amount of trade, but there are no things like free trade agreements, so it is hard to say that they are close allies.
Lord Imrahil
The US is Switzerlands second largest export-market, with Swiss exports to the US making up around 62 billion dollars worth of exports. Second only to Germany, with around 67 billion. Considering where Germany is, and where the US is, that’s pretty amazing. American exports are the third largest imports in Switzerland, and American companies employ around 100.000 Swiss people. Meanwhile Swiss companies employ around 500.000 Americans. Switzerland was the seventh largest investor in America during 2017-2018, with around 310 billion dollars in Swiss investments. And the US was by far the largest investor in Switzerland, investing almost 460 billion CHF (roughly the same amount in dollar) during 2017-2018. Swiss tourists also favored the US over any other country, as the US was the most visited country by Swiss tourists in 2018, with New York (my hometown) being the prime destination. And the close relationship between US universities and Swiss universities, American banks and Swiss banks, etc, make the relationship even stronger.
Switzerland is the only country I would like to settle in. I’ve visited basically all of Europe, and no other country compares to Switzerland. One thing happened when I visited Switzerland last year. Which was that, on my second day of roaming around the city of Geneva and the beautiful nature reserves outside the city, suddenly, I could breathe properly again. I’ve had problems with Adenoids since I was 10 years old. I’ve had them removed surgically, but they keep coming back. I can still breathe in with my nose, but it’s usually very heavy and feels like I’m having a light cold. Sometimes my head hurts, my nose hurts, my eyes get red amongst other symptoms. But, in Switzerland, I felt nothing. I felt like I was cured. I told my boss about the incident, and he said that the Swiss have the cleanest air in the world and that a trip to Switzerland was better than any medication. I’m seriously considering moving to Switzerland. I know both German and French, my job has a close relationship with several Swiss corporations, so I could maintain the job which I have now (corporate lawyer and financial/law advisor) without any problem. So there isn’t anything in particular I worry about.
I’m sorry I got out of topic. The point is, the US and Switzerland are pretty close allies. Whilst not directly a NATO-member, it still maintains an important role in the West.
You should do Foreign Military Bases. That is if you haven't yet. You do have a lot of videos. 👍
What country hosts the most foreign representatives?
A major misleading factor is that a significant portion are "non-resident embassies" where the embassy in a neighbouring country overseas the affairs. For example: many countries have missions to South Africa but non-resident missions to Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia, etc. So the true number of missions is much lower than indicated.
You have a very positive view of embassies. They are not there for Mutual friendly relations. Reread your own definition in this video. Also they have a military branch, usually involved in spying. Lastly the embassies are not primarily there for the citizens of the home country abroad. They are there to represent governments, not citizens.
I've got a few embassies in my back pocket.
Does someone realised that ‘Thanks’ is a short version of Tom Hanks

Can you do a video with countries with the least embassies??
I am surprised you didn't talk about about the Baltic diplomats in the USA when you taked about the Russian diplomats after the fall of the Tsar. The Baltic countries maintained diplomats in the USA after they lost their independence until they regained their independence. Pretty interesting situation regarding diplomatic "missions".
Love how the civil war crew don’t have many embassies in any country’s (Somalia Libya Syria and Yemen )
Very good.....
Little mistake about the One China policy. It was actually enforced by both PRC and ROC and it was put in place long before their outstanding economic growth.
Is embassy and consulate the same thing?
0:30 UK gone 🦀
Foreshadowing to what will happen with Boris in charge
@@Josh-hm8yk * laughs and cries *
Brexit 😅😅🤣🤣
To the chagrin of ???
There used to be a difference between ambassadors and ministers. Ambassadors were between so-called Great Powers and the others had Ministers. The resurrected Polish Republic after 1919 insisted on ambassadorial ranking. Israel has a large number of ambassadors and embassies considering it's small size, but that is because Israel's embassies, consulates, and missions serve as a liaison to Jewish communities throughout the world. Also during the time of the German Empire 1871 - 1918 several of the German states Bavaria, Saxony, Wurttemberg had their own ministers in Berlin, Vienna, and a few other capitals and vice-versa.
According to the Canadian government, Canada has between 250-280 different diplomatic missions in over 180 countries - shocked it didn't show up anywhere.
Probably because this includes honorary consules which generally aren't considered full diplomatic missions.
I'd like to see which countries has the most diplomatic missions to the most countries. There are about 195+ countries in the world, depending on how you count, maybe you can reach 210. But USA with 271 clearly shows that countries are counted multiple times.
I wounder why spain dont have an embassy in iceland?
Turkey surprised me
Maybe because you are a turk?
apple's lover yes I’m Turk I didn’t know that turkey had many diplomatic relations
You must put a list of the 11-20 or 11-30 countries at the end of the video. For the people who came to the video to see their country but in the end it does not appear in the video and they remain with the doubt
if you are a citizen from Taiwan and you are in the US where would you go for consular service???
棒棒的！
Just visit "Salvador". Is a city in Bahia, Brazil.
7:00 in reality even today the sun doesn't set on the British empire. Yes, they are now called "British Overseas Territories" and its much less than it used to be but all those islands spread across the world always have the sun in the sky over at least one of them.
All those territories are not part of the UK
@@Thunderworks they never were, hence the term "the sun never sets on the British Empire", not the sun never sets on Britain.
do a video about Catalonia please🙏
Pideselo a Cucurull.

What about countries with the most embassies within them?
