Fun fact: Taiwan (which used to be called Formosa) is an antipode of Formosa province in Argentina.
No way
Yes, what a coincidence!
Taiwan was called "ilha formosa" wich means adorabel island and sri lanka was called "ceylão" by the portuguese discoveres wich where the first europeans discovering those lands. In other words, the portuguese reached the goal wich alexander the great and columbus failed, but tragicly never reached the same fame as those two loosers. Taking in consider that uruguay was portuguese too before beeing spanish you got the point why there are two places called formosa. Is that argentinian province nearby uruguay? Just take note that formosa means beautyfull or adorabel in portguese.
@@ThrE3-GeS Thanks Sr. Portugis. Greetings from Indonesia
Sukacita Yeremia No probz. Greetings
Fun fact: Brazillians don't call themselves brasilianos (brazillians), but brasileiros (brazillers). '-eiro' is a profession suffix. This makes Brazil the only country where being a citizen is actually a full-time job.

the Netherlands has claims on the ocean
thats disputed territory
*laughs in portuguese*
since the ocean has claims on the netherlands, that war is going to be interesting.
A war with buckets and pumps.
@@liquidminds the ocean has claims on every coastal city in the world and in 40 years it will declare war.
@@ding9916 true. And I can already hear the screams of future people... "Build the dam" "The Fishpeople come to take our land"
No claims on crack?
How many Eiffel towers in South America:

In Czechia there's second Eiffel Tower.
@@Terrus_38 And Minimundus in Austria
We already have a clock tower in downtown Buenos Aires that was a gift from the British and no one cares
@@Alex-fv2qs I think he was referencing the Falkland islands, whatever clock tower is in Buenos Aires is certainly not Big Ben
Fun fact: the pacific ocean is so unimaginably big that that it’s actually antipodal with itself
What is antipodal?
@@chess-blundermctrashplay762 If you were to poke really long stick straight through the Earth, the 2 ends of the stick would be antipodal. Basically "on the opposite side of".
So the original comment basically means "parts of the Pacific Ocean are on the opposite side of the Earth to other parts of the Pacific Ocean".
@@wishfuldeity thank you!
It’s the water hemisphere
Well the disputed territories map is not working
At least I can see how many countries in South America have an Eiffel Tower
they are my territories give them back
@@disputedname Hey that's my name, give it back.
How many London eye's are in South America? 👀👀
France's longest border is with Brazil as well. Another fun fact I think.
U is correct
Correct
French Guiana for that who did not understand
French Guiana moment
It’s kinda ironic how Germany has no territorial disputes.
And it's not true, see previous comment. The map is just incomplete.
@@xaverlustig3581 yeah, Perú and Ecuador still have some border conflicts
@@xaverlustig3581 it doesn't show Kosovo and Taiwan as a territorial dispute
@@gamermapper Kosovo and Taiwan are having a territorial dispute?
@@abrahamdozer6273 They're themselves territorial disputes. They're breakaway territories.
Crimea belongs to Vietnam, obviously.
True
Nah canada
No it doesn’t

are you dumb or some shit it belongs to nigeria!
_Atleast i dont see the world where everything has my face on it_
that's a shame
Australia over Europa shockt me.
Indonesia is better for that since they are on the equator.
@@kacperskwarlinski2267 yeah Indonesia is almost as big as Russia if you count the sea inbetween
@@kacperskwarlinski2267The things is that Indonesia is made up of islands, not a packed up continental mass easy to visually compare to another one like Europe.
I was shockt when I learnt that too
im australian and it shocked me too lol
(4:30) The reason why it says "eSwatini" on Open Street Map is because it's using the local language and not the user language. For example, it also says "Deutschland" while Google says "Germany" for English uses. This also means that it has been using "Česko" (Czechia) for a very long time, but Google changed it to "Czechia" in English in the recent years.
Swaziland officially changed its name to Eswatini back in 2018, the country's name is "Eswatini" in both Swazi and English (the official languages of Eswatini). While you could call Eswatini "Swaziland", Swaziland as a legal entity, doesn't exist anymore.
7:29 😂😂😂😂 awesome bro 👏
I can tell you’re amused by the “Eiffel Towers in South America” map.

For the antipode map: Perth, Western Australia comes out right outside Bermuda, funny how one of the most isolated cities is opposite to one of the most isolated countries.
Another advantage of Mercator's projection is that straight lines between two points is always the shortest possible distance on the globe. This is why it was preferred by navigators.
Yep. A globe is still the best way to display things tho ;).
Not really, however a straight line on the mercator projection will correspond to a constant heading on the compass.
Not the shortest no, but it shall get you there
Why is this upvoted? Go on google maps and use measure distance. It will often times not show you a straight line over large distances
@@r.a.d.h.4260 liked. It's called liked
The map with claimed territory doesn't have the dispute between Pakistan and Afghanistan (durand-line)
And what is disputed between them?
@@Alistana Territory
@@Alistana drug , poppy field
It's simple, Durand Line was made by some British officials and the Afghans disagreed with the British officials so when the British Raj was divided into two new countries (India and Pakistan in 1947) eventually the Afghans claimed that there is no Durand Line between them and Pakistan and tried to invade newly created Pakistan's territory and the clashes began, Pakistan pushed them back and now have fenced nearly 80%-90% of the Durand Line as of 2021 with high surveillance cameras, forces guarding the border.
One of the main reasons to fence the Afghanistan and Iran borders with Pakistan was the crossing of terrorists into Pakistan.
What is kinda funny with French Guiana is that it makes the longest border of France being with Brazil 😉
Isn't any border between two countries the longest border between those two counties if they only have one in common?
@@Liggliluff it make so that the longest land border france share with any country end up being the one with brazil
Yes, I would like a disputed territory video! :)
Keep up the good work!
9:15 "perth is on ireland"
puts ireland like 500km above perth
The most amusing border dispute is the one between Egypt and Sudan. A small piece of land called Bir Tawil is claimed by neither of them.
It's free real estate
The Netherlands actually has an agreement to disagree regarding the border along the Eems river, and one that's technically disputed, namely the border on Sint Maarten, which has never been officially denoted.
Your book is currently free to read with a kindle unlimited subscription.
Amazon actually basically forces you to make that the case, fun fact
If Amazon wants to sell your book on a sale, they'll force that to happen and cut your price. They can also give out your book for free if they feel like it. They also don't allow you to have your book on other online services. ... It's part of the agreement.
A lot of maps I can look at while I'm working. Thanks.
The airport in Whangarei (New Zealand) lines up almost perfectly with an airport in Morocco
that didn’t age well, 2020 is off to a great start!
that didn’t age well, 2020 is somehow going worse than we expected!
Other than Kim Jon un (I don't think its spelt right
Alexa Hunter that didn’t age well, 2020 just keeps getting worse!
That didnt age well, 2020 is getting even worse
@@Ambigious haha 2nd wave go brrrr
Mongolia is greyed out but they actually do have a kind of territorial dispute.
Taiwan (republic of china) claim all of china plus the South China Sea and the land that is currently Mongolia as it used to be part of china ages ago
Not ages ago but less than 115 years ago
Wow, that last website really inspires me to make my own geography channel using it!
I love your videos. Thank you.
As a Venezuelan, I can attest that they teach us Birds Island as the northernmost point in Venezuela in geography class
I think Italy does have a few territorial disputes on the Alps with France, for example there is one on the top of Monte Bianco (or Mont blanc, highest mountain in Europe)
Dude you have so much energy, I'm so jealous!!
Thanks, I’ll be planning for it
I'm in NZ. come more near the end of the year, as our summer is obviously december - february. Queenstown has a lot of things better for the summer. I've been there earlier this year in January and it was great
This guy is awesome I could talk with him for hours!
I don't know what the purely visual equivelant to stimming is but watching this doesn't feel too far off.
Sick intro Toycat!
I didn't know you had a 2nd channel until CZcams recommended this. I like maps too!
I've never seen the first channel
I’d love to hear you talk about territorial disputes.
Could you please make a video where you redraw the worldborders as you please? It would be very interresting
A map of the countries based on what they actually control, a map of what often is consisted theirs, and a map where all the disputes are highlighted.
Example:
Map 1: Cyprus only controls the southern part, Turkey has the northern part, and then UK splits them in two. So that would give Cyprus 3 colours.
Map 2: Cyprus has the whole Cyprus.
Map 3: Southern Cyprus is fully Cyprus, but the other parts are split between Cyprus and the other nations.
@@Liggliluff Map1 already exists, look "apolitical map", it's very interesting and has de facto control shown without bias, even land without formal de facto government is identified as such
Have you heard of news that Belize might be cut in half due to a border dispute with Guatemala? The whole bottom half might be given away and it’s being discussed at the UN!
That intro is top class!
Fun Fact:- The Pacific Ocean is so large that the antipode of one point of Pacific Ocean is in the Pacific Ocean!! The other side of the world, same Ocean.
There used to be MapFrappe also, but that has been closed indefinitely for the past year or more.
Rockall island under the treaty of the marine is classed as a UK territory and included in the EEZ
7:28 who the hell says that is what I wanna know
its true it helps racist ideas
this guy stretched what people say
@SuperSmashyfication it literally shows majority white countries as larger are you to dumb to understand
@@Emmanuel-bq8yp I just want to say thats the most fucking stupidest idea I've ever heard. It's a fucking *_map_* it was made to show territories and locations, ect.. Like what the hell?
@@Emmanuel-bq8yp then why is Australia so small and brazil and Argentina so big on a map
my mind goes to Torchwood Miracle Day, the whole bleeding through the earth thing, with Shanghai and Buenos Aires...
There's actually more than 1,5 million nippo-brasilians living in Brasil and on June 18, 2018, we celebrated 110 years of Japanese Immigration! As for the chinese, there seems to be more and more coming to Brasil in the last decade.
Germany does have a dispute, with Switzerland and Austria of how the land borders goes across the Obersee/Bodensee lake. The map also count disputed water borders too.
mapfight is great if thetruesize doesn't have certain countries/states/islands etc. that you wan't. I literally searched an alaskan island and it had it.
6:10 Nice catch, bro!
The settlement with rock all is to treat it as sea, which means its in UK waters (its over the distance form any other country to claim)
A hundred years ago having been barred from emigrating to the US many Japanese moved to Brazil. Now many of their descendants and their families have moved back. There also seems to have been some labour relation agreements in the past.
It's funny how Greenland is the size of all of Africa and even a bit bigger when in the real world its actually more than 15 times the size
That the UK sea bed and fisheries in Scotland there base on St Kilda, theres an argument they should be moved back to be based on Harris but that would still include rockall (just) and put them well west of Ireland,
(In the south west there based on the Isles of Scilly)
This creates two circles that end up looking nearly as far west as the circles that define Irish fisheries (there not quite it just that the 200nm circles are large compared to the islands)
Now I know rules are only worth something if they are upheld BUT international agreements state that uninhabitable islands do in fact not enlarge ones waters. Many countries including UK (sometimes depends on how lit it is) tend to ignore that.
*China has military bases on them making it another deal.
Slovenia and Croatia are in dispute about Gulf of Pirin, which is partly inside Italy. Wouldn't that technically make Italy part of the dispute? Italy either has to dispute or give it up; they can't do neither.
When I first saw the title I though of the Macedonia drama
Ngl I like your second channel a lot more than your main
Italy have a disputed border with france, italy says that the top of Monte Bianco (mont blanc) is the border , france instead don't want share the top of the mountain IDK why
6:04 it was at that moment he knew, he fucked up.
He doesn't have a girlfriend anymore
Fun fact: The Mercator map throws out the accuracy of size for the purpose of the accuracy of angles. That's why the poles are magnified and the equator squished, because the world is a sphere. It isn't racist.
0:23 Doesn't Chad have a dispute with Libya about the Aozou strip? Or is that over now
There's an Eiffel tower in just about every US state. Paris, TN actually has one.
WOW new intro!! cool!
I love that Toycat got Perth's location so wrong. Perth was in France
There's a territorial dispute between the Netherlands and Germany regarding the boundary in the Dollard (the sea arm that their boundary comes into).
(8:30) Australia is a continent like India is a continent. It has its own continental plate. But that's not how we tend to count continents. A common split is: North America - South America - Europe - Africa - Asia - Oceania.
There is actually an Eiffel Tower in Brazil. It's located in the city of Umuarama, state of Paraná, and was built by a farmer at the entrance to his property.
Google Maps Plus Code: 5J8V+65 Umuarama, PR
Perth Australia is in southern France way, thanks you 😂 we are not sharks bay 😂 but all good just pointing it out, keep it up, love your videos ☺
nice way of showing off your merch, though I still don't have money for it
Perth position is not at Ireland at 9:24 it is in southern france
Guyana is also a nice example. It literally appears in venezuelan maps as territorio en reclamacion.
Pls video about borders of hungary or myanmar!
Interesting how similar Magyar(ország) and Myanmar are.
I love the intro
You forgot about Angola, they have an active separatist movement in Cabinda.
Be me, an American from the PNW. When I dig through the earth, I end up near the Crozet Islands in the southern Indian Ocean toward Antarctica. I get 600 hours of sunshine for the whole year (There are 8760 hours in a year.) And I thought Seattle's weather was bad.
Rock on rockall
have a look at geopolitics, territory and security at king's college london - we look at this stuff all the time!
why do you say that there is a link but no link to the maps
I live in Vietnam, is there any way I can get your book
Another fun fact: The EU borders the Kingdom of the Netherlands
fun fact at 7:14, the 'Greenland' label is actually in the middle of the island
what dispute does islandia have?
Rockall belongs to Kingdom of Denmark - based on it being located on the independent Faroe Islands plateau
Top 100 fun facts by toycat
Poland and Germany have east Prussia, which is a strong claim and Denmark has a claim on the southern Swedish coast but right now that claim is pretty weak
Germany doesn't have any territorial disputes for East Prussia anymore. They were forced to sign a treaty saying they would drop all the disputes. There is also a polish majority living there now so there's no point. The final point is when Russia offered Kalingrad to Germany they refused because the territory isn't connected to them, therefore making it hard to keep that part stable.
I just went to the true size of website for something I have been curious on. I’ve always thought “The Great Lakes are just really big, you can still see across to the other side” so I tested in on the site, let me tell you.. Rhode Island can fit inside the Great Lakes... that’s insane....
Yeah, they're pretty much a network of small inland seas. The mind blowing thing is how they're just the leftover of the original inland seas that were there after the glaciers melted. The sheer volume of fresh water involved there was utterly bonkers.
You should look up the Galls Peters Projection map. The west wing did an episode where they talk about social equality in relation to world maps.
The Netherlands has another border dispute with Germany, or visa versa, for the Dollard (or Dollart). Though they aggreed to dissagree, which is a nice solution I think.
Then the shite..
Nice one Andrew.
yes
You should post more on /r/mapporn
do more videos on europe please
1:47 That slanted line looks dodgy because people just naturally assume the line should be straight but because the land goes down Canada and isn't straight that will likely be why. It's not the line that's not straight basically it's the land relative to the map.
Fun Fact! The United States is so large, that in total area, it's only 1.5% smaller than Canada. But in terms of total land, the United States is actualy bigger than Canada. The United States in fact is so large, that you could fit all 28 countries that make up the EU, and place them inside of the United States, and still have enough room left over to fit the world's "7th largest" country of India inside of the United States.
Russia is bigger
@@Max-zo6rv True. But not in habitable area. 😉
8:40 got my thumbs up haha
Rockall is not disputed as being part of the UK, but is rather considered a “rock” and not an “island”. This means that the EEC rules do not apply.
Mercator projection.....the one that's distorts size....
