Check out Gideon Defoe's "An Atlas of extinct countries" to see the full list of 48 states that once existed, and are no more, he has great dry satirical humor and gotta say, props to you Mr. Defoe! (Thanks Geograpeep Jay for sending this for Fan Friday!) What extinct countries do YOU know of?
First
Hi I love your vids
Ok

Please can I help with you the Sri Lanka episode.
They missed the chance of calling it "geography not anymore"
Took me a while to understand but lmao good one
Geographysn't
Geography Nowsn’t
Geography Then
history now
Con artists today: hahaha I will scam a bunch of people out of thousands of dollars haha
Gregor McGregor: i sent 200 people to a fake city that was never real. Most of them died
can't be accused of fraud if there are no witneses
Imagine having a child, looking down at its little baby face and saying out loud to everyone in the room.
Yes, I think we'll call him Gregor McGregor
He send them to Bielefeld?
@@MasonGreenWeed ooohh low blow
@@meatilicious1900 the ship that he sent the people on was called Boaty McBoat
As someone from Limberwisk, I can tell you that Poyais is a very real place
As a Qitzikwakan, I can confirm that Poyais definitely is one of the places on earth
As a Bandiaterran, Poyais is one of the most beautiful countries on Earth.
Not funny 😎😎😎😎
@@brauliogabriel1740 that’s an opinion, so I don’t think anyone gives a fuck lol
As a Belgian, I agree!
Never thought he would talk about Quilombo dos Palmares. As a Brazilian I felt represented
Me too.. delightful surprise
Eu também kkkk e eu ainda por cima sou alagoano, se ele tivesse falado que ficava localizado no estado de Alagoas ai eu ficava em choque
Argentinians like to say ¡Qué quilombo! when something is a mess but i had no idea where it came from
@@DBBravo Cool fact to know thanks for sharing, love all our hermanos from Argentina. I've been to Argentina once, people were really nice and the barbecue was on point.
@@victorfernandes7521 Achei estranho ele falando que era perto do Recife mas mostrando um mapa do Alagoas. Hahaha
For a second I thought this might be another April fool's video.
Nope, the april fools country was made 1 months ago(april).
Whæt
Congrats u got a top comment
@@Pangooooo what do mean "whaet".
@@oncestaymidzywithunswer711 thanks.
You should name this series Geography Then
No
Why
yes
Why is your logo the flag of Cyprus 🇨🇾????
@@Kingjulianfrfr maybe they just come from Cyprus.
Fun fact: Gregor McGregor is considered sort of a national hero here in Venezuela, as he fought with distinction during our Independence War. After said meritorious service however, he tried to take over Florida and made two attempts to invade New Granada; all three ventures ended in disaster and with him abandoning his troops to their fate. This netted McGregor a death sentence from independence hero Simón Bolívar himself, and was only able to return to Venezuela after Bolívar's death (where apparently no one had heard of the Poyais thing, as his military rank was restored and he was buried with full honors).
Do a geography now for antarctica! About physical geography, climate, seasons, whether it would be possible to urbanize it, etc.
There’s actually plans for this, look up ‘New Jan Mayen’
YEAH!
yesss!!!
@@goose9515 I looked this up and found exactly nothing.
@@goose9515 I also looked this up and found nothing... I suppose that’s a clever homage to the Gregor McGregor bit.
I live few kilometers from Cospaia, they still grow tobacco and they have a reinassance themed festival each year.
Ciao fra

Il veri Reinassance sarà con Renzi e il Principe Saudita 🤣
cap
Someone should check on them to make sure they're not still evading taxes.
Barbs: Brazil has a weird language.
Portugal: 😂 😯😭
Portuguese language was born from the Gallaico-Portuguese, the lingua franca of music and poetry in the medieval times. It's a beautiful language. Barbs aways say that is strange because we have that soft R in the Brazilian proununciation, which is probably a reminiscent of native american accent that hasn't the R and L phonemes. So Rio and Recife have a soft gutural R, and Brazil is prounounced Braziw
The soft R is aways in the beginning and and of the words, plus in the middle of the word when written as RR. The R in Brazil is a strong palatal (russian) R
he said PORTUGUESE is a weird language
Brazilian Portuguese is different.

I literally just bought this book at the airport two days ago ....
Good job
Same wtf

@@brokkrep yes, i recently returned home from Turkey
Surprised you didn't mention the quadripoint that existed between Neutral Moresnet, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.
he did i believe
@@enesamederel no he didnt
6:13 he begins talking about it!
@@marthieb9117 But he didn't mention the quadripoint, Barbs just said this happened on the border between Belgium and Germany.
@@enesamederel He only showed it by showing the borders on the maps. He didn't really mention it.
Yesterday, there was a big report about Gregor McGregor in the newspaper and today he has made it in your episode.
I think, he was a business man, doing business
Gregor MacGregor was a BusinesS Man, doing BusinesS.
Any video featuring Neutral Moresnet immediately gets my click.
The land of Esperanto
@@AlbertBoris well, that's something I never heard about it, despite living aside and having my grandfather born there so I'm pretty sure that it was really anecdotic
@der Führer What about Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. that is usually considered a quadpoint
I suppose you have also watched the video by The Tim Traveler
I'm glad it was mentioned but i'm even more glad it doesn't exist
Gregor MacGregor behaved exactly as I would have imagined for someone whose start to life was under the guidance of parents that were too lazy to think of a better first name than Gregor knowing their surname was MacGregor
The channel Biographics did a longer profile video on Gregor MacGregor. Pretty interesting life story!
This is what Barbs should do after he’s done every country, do lost countries, old flags, ancient empires and maybe specific states in countries.
Yea! I would definitely watch to learn more about a certain country.
Plot twist: Gregor McGregor actually just making a April Fools jokes
I'm talking to you, Barby.
Gregor McGregor should help bring immigrants to Bandiaterra.
Behind The Bastards covered Gregor, in case anyone is interested in a deep dive.
I had to check the date before watching this since I once fell for Limberwisk.
imagine if Cospaia survived today, would be cool to see it joining the ranks of San Marino and Vatican in the "microstates within the Italian Peninsula" club
it even has a really cool flag, the coolest one out of all the countries featured here imo.
yes
I would guess that, even if it survived longer, it wouldn't have made it past Italian unification since there's no longer a dispute.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 Probably not, but San Marino did
@@ducttapeanddreams It did, but mostly b/c Garibaldi was unrealistically based for the 1800s
Yup, it has a Venice-like flags with those octopus legs.
‘Four guys and a dog go to an island’
*Famous Five intensifies*
In German they are called "Fünf Freunde" or "Five Friends"
choose your own adventure!
In Portugal they're called "Os Cinco" (means "the five")
In Indonesia, they're called "Lima Sekawan" which means "Five Friends". I loved the books so much when I was a kid, that I wrote my own version of "Five Friends".
@@catlover7 where you wrote?
Neutral Moresnet is well known in the Esperanto community for that exact reason you mentioned! It's the only state that has ever embraced Esperanto in any shape. Very cool to hear it mentioned in this vid.
Also for one of your april fool's day videos, you should make a country where the main language is Esperanto!
About a month ago a guy from Canaries cessesionist party wrote to me telling that they want to use Esperanto in their materials and to eventually proclaim it a state language in their new state when it emerges... [That gives an idea of a video for the channel about the countries yet to appear, „you may not heard of“ ))]
Didn't isola delle rose used Esperanto too?
It'd be so cool if we began using esperanto as the official language of the world
@@gustavosauro1882 nah,
@@gustavosauro1882 Why (on earth)?
Finland: "The heck Barbs? I thought we were cool :("
In case anyone is wondering: It's a common joke that Finland doesn't exist because no foreigner speaks our language (aside from "perkele" and "sauna") and the population is so low and unheard of that it is more likely to get hit by lightning than meeting a Finn in a country that isn't Finland, Sweden or Estonia.
@@akumayoxiruma or Spain. XD
@@akumayoxiruma I met a Finnish couple in Hong Kong in 2004. The guy was wearing a Toronto Blue Jays t-shirt, which is very coincidental since I am from Toronto.
@@akumayoxiruma thanks
Shh! We've almost got them all convinced we don't exist. Don't go spoiling our good times now!
"Except for you Finland, I mean who do you think you're fooling, everyone knows we're onto you.."
Finland: *sweating profusely*
It's just the sauna
*looks at flag of Finland hanging under my "countries the UN made up" sign*
He knows, shut it down
Many quilombo communities exist in Brazil to this day. They're regulates in a similar way to Indian reservations.
*Indigenous
Indian é indiano em inglês
I find it interesting when people have passports (or equivalant thereof) with birth countries that don't exist anymore, which happens more often than you think in Europe, with former Yugoslavia for example. Most Serbians are not born in Serbia, for example. Well, not technically.
Hey there was also Senarcia, a village in Italy with around 300 people today, but it was granted independence by the queen of Naples in 1343 and re-annexed in 1797. The thing about it is that it was the smallest country to maintain independence for that long, being even smaller than the Vatican.
0:50 The Refreshment Islands
2:04 The State of Muskogee

Since when Filler Week got so devoted and quality
Your profile looks like the generic nerd in a Disney film
His filler weeks were always awesome I’d say
@@TheEditFactory you perfectly sum up the purpose I’m impressed
@@fuongv4894 thanks. I don't know what insults my profile can muster up but meh. Have a go
It's the black background.
Your videos are invaluable bro, nobody else could ever make complex geography so simple and understandable
You should have mentioned the decade long country of The Republic of Texas. We learned all about it in school as Texans, and the independence battle was insane.
Meh, the republic of West Florida sounds more interesting. :-P
You all never let that go. Just secede and do the rest of the US a favor.
As a Belgian I wondered if you would talk about Morisnet. Glad you did. :-D
It's a weird blip in Belgian history that even many Belgians don't know about.
Great video as usual, Barbs! Just a little thing about the Medici family: it's 3 syllables (MÈ - DI - CI) and the _first one_ is stressed. I know it's weird for English speakers but it sounds very wrong pronounced otherwise :)
MEDIC!
I feel bad for the first one, they’re so stressed
Italians are so insufferable
@@KnivingDispodia username checks out
@@Xiborg1 Poor thing needs a hug
Morsenet btw used Oh Christmas tree as it's national anthem
Speaking of Refreshment Islands, you should talk a little bit more about Tristan da Cunha! It would be very interesting.
Could we get a ‘it’s not selling out if it’s my brand’ t-shirt???
This channel deserves way more subscribers. God bless y'all ♥
Love the old school vibe to this video. Just you talking about interesting stuff.
I must admit that I really liked how you change the topic of this very opportunitic video.
Nice touch, indeed.
Interesting upload time, but glad to see filler week back!
It's for us Europeans ahaha
In my country it's 12:30 pm
Yeah, it's soon 2 pm here
Speaking of Esperanto I also suggest another "extinct" country in Italy that existed for less than an year: Republic of Rose Island.
Last year they also made a movie about it in Italy, it's called Rose Island, recommended.
Your channel is so interesting and refreshing, loved this video and book review!
we need more of this. please do a part 2
Palmares wasn't the only 'quilombo' that existed in Brazil during the time of portuguese domain, actually there were many spread throughout the southeast region, as well as in the northeast and even some the amazonian region. Some of these communities exist until today, there's one even in my city, Niterói (close to Rio de Janeiro).
I looked at the calendar to see if it’s April 1 and was very confused to find out it’s not.
I found myself looking up every country on this list! Great video.
10:47 oh no, I can't stop hearing it,the flashbacks!!!
4:25 Woa, I'm from Tuscany, and despite being familiar with both San Sepolcro and Città di Castello, the two big towns in between which Cospaia is, I never heard of it!
Perché di che paese sei?
@@giuseppe1193 Pisano, ma con una mamma attrice ho visitato più volte Città di Castello e Perugia!
You actually managed to say "Recife" very good. The history of "Quimlobo de Palmares" is very famous in Brazil. And its leader, the "Zumbi de Palmares", considered a hero by many.
Big fan of your channel. Best Geography channel on CZcams. Love from Portugal
I love your videos so much! They are so educational and entertaining!

Whoa! Barbs my man talking about the quilombos (specifically the quilombo de palmares)! I've rarely seen english speaking ytb channels even mentioning the quilombos. Really cool and interesting video!
What a great way to start the week! One of my favourite videos for sure!
the fact that Paul keeps randomly mentioning Finland every now and then makes me love him just that much more!
I would like to give an ideia. Many of the videos of countries explained here are from 5-6 years ago maybe it would be nice to create a new type of video something like "What happened in *country name* in the last five years" it's a way of keeping up with all that has changed in these last years like civil wars, social movements, political and economical changes. Anyways love the content and I hope the channel can grow even more in the future :)
I was hoping he would say something about Brazil, but I was not expecting Palmares. I would guess something like Riograndense Republic, Catharinense Republic or Republic of Acre.
pretty great video, it feels like old times when its just you having full screen time
Can't wait for the Switzerland episode! I just got done with a trip to the Rockies and it was amazing. Definately planning a Swiss vacation as soon as Europe opens
Coming soon in October
You should use one of these extinct countries for your next April Fools Day: pretend it still exists to this day and discuss what it would be like. The fact that it once did exist would make it pretty believable.
What an idea!! I wish barbs notices this comment
Barbs , Portuguese isn’t weird, it’s actually beautiful!! Greetings from a Brazilian who lives in Boston:)
dude i watched your videos for class in juvie. you gave me a lot of hope knowing i'd crawl outa my cell and go to a classroom and watch your videos.
Thanks for including Neutral Moresnet
Yes fainaly, after so many years of waiting my city finaly got some good represention in respected media, thank you Geography Now, just mentioning one of greatest citizens of Białystok is great source of joy for me, again thank you, and best regards from Białystok, Poland.
For anyone interested in learning more about Gregor McGregor, there's a podcast called Do Go On that talk about this guy, The "Prince" of Poyais for episode 192. Very funny Australian comedians who talk about all sorts of things.
Dang I remember watching that Fan mail episode when you said you were gonna make this video and you definitely didn't disappoint Barbs
2:05 - State of Muskogee's flag is very similar to Norway's flag.
As a West Coaster, let me just point out to everybody that Barbs (Who is also a West Coaster) uploaded this at 3 in the morning here.
Now, if it weren't for the fact that I have no regard for my sleep schedule, I wouldn't have been able to see this as soon as it came out.
Autouploads are a thing
I am an East Coaster, and it is 6 am for me
Yeah what is up with that?
lol same, except I have school tommorow, fuck.
I'm german and it is 12:41 am :D
Poyais is so beautiful, Im proud too have roots from there
Greetings from Bandiaterra
Greetings from Limberwisk. Your country exports some really cool stuff to us :)
Greetings from Luxembourg ._.
Whoa, someone's got a case of the Mondays with this upload! Great surprise to see something this early in the week.
Outta nowhere hearing about my home city (Recife-BR) in Geography Now! So cool! Btw your pronunciation was pretty good hahaha
I've been to Palmares! There's a city there now, called União dos Palmares, with a statue of Zumbi downtown. Fwiw, I would've at least mentioned Zumbi. They did lose the war against the Portuguese, but he's a major hero in Brazilian history and the anniversary of his death is a holiday in a lot of the country. I also would've made a Fire Festival joke for the last one. But, these are quibbles. Great video 😊
It’d be a great idea for you to start a podcast talking about countries weekly !
i absolutely love this kind of stuff!
I really liked this video. I don't know about the rest of this community, but I'd like to see more of these kind of videos
A video on a Bougainville timeline would be interesting. What has happened since their independence referendum, what still needs to happen and what the timeline could be before they ready to declare independence from Papua New Guinea.
A mind that is stretched by a new experience and new travel directions can never go back to its old dimensions.....
Thank you for sharing this experience with us!!!!!
Love this stuff! Keep it up!
Very interesting, thank You!
Regions of Italy next filler week please.
Puglia indipendente

Last time I was this early, akkadia was still in existence
Bro when I was this early, Sumerians didn’t even create Sumer yet.
Dude last time I was this early Jericho was just starting to get build.
Last time I was this early Sundaland still emerges
Last time I was here, Istanbul was still called Constantinople 🤣
Last time I Was This early, Pangea Was still Existent
This is interesting, we need more parts to this.
Wow, this is awesome! That book looks interesting.
hey, brazilian here. the quilombo of palmares actually is very well known here. they even have a celebration day to it, november 20th
You said the Portuguese language is weird but you speak French and French is on their own level of wild (btw i love french, would love to speak it one day) ,great video as always 👍
the cool thing is interesting about each different country is its history and culture that's why I like to watch this channel that talks about geography it's always good to learn
Thanks, dude. I learned a lot.
Yes finally! Now we’ll get a video talking about micronations!
I actually went to Kelmis in Neutral Moresnet two days ago!!
It couldn't be any fun, I suppose :))
I have been here since the beginning and I Love this Chanel
Loves this topic so much!!
“It’s not selling out if it’s my brand” lmfaooo
I have a book by Nick Middleton, An Atlas of countries that don't exist...
that's also slightly similar
Imagine the USA is having a family reunion.
California, Texas and Florida are dominating the entire thing,
Alaska and Hawaii are off in the corner,
And New York is joking around with Pennsylvania.
Then some Caribbean guy walks in.

Coming across a vid that was basically a book review with some added info in 2021 is pretty special.
Please do a part 2.. and for the record a part 3 or 4... in fact don’t stop
Tiny obscure bits of world history can be so freaking fascinating. I kinda have to get this book now
