As of upload I am currently in Nevis Island and tomorrow going to Puerto Rico tomorrow. Can’t wait to meet you guys the Boricua geograpeeps! Noon. Old san Juan plaza. Be there!
Good videos!
Cool!
Can't wait to see you!
ok
Awesome!!! I hope you enjoy our island!
Imagine if you tried going from American Samoa to Samoa and back within a few hours.
"Yo, my trip tomorrow was great!"
That just blew my mind.
@@frigginjerk There are two islands that seperate Russia with Alaska by a mere two miles. On the Russia side its a day ahead so you could literaly see tomorrow from Alaska.
@@UnchainedAmerica The Diomedes! That's a tough one to wrap your mind around, eh? If I were ever on the US one, I would irritate the crap out of everyone around me by constantly talking about how I can see the future.

Barby in French episode: *speaks French*
Also Barby: SAINT KHRRROOOAAAKHR
Hi Virgin Islander here I'm from that island of St. Croix it's is pronounced similar to how you pronounce the city of Troy so you pronounce it as "St. Croy" and the people there are called "Cruzan" pronounced as Krue-zhan we don't call ourselves black or African American we call ourselves based off of whichever island we hail from. "Tomonian" for St. Thomas, "Jonian" for St. John
Hope this helps
Yeah I was confused why he couldn't say it. LaCroix the drink... yep 'croy'... why is this so hard.
@@rejvaik00 I grew up on the St. Croix river between Wisconsin and Minnesota. We pronounce it the same way you do.
He said Croix based on the Danish pronunciation. Also fellow Caribbean person here.
@@Aphixy the word is French though no? So It doesn't matter if he says it the American or Danish way it's still not right
Knowing Puerto Ricans, they would have probably wanted a whole episode for themselves. Lol.
Yep I been waiting 🤣🤣
Of course we have 🇵🇷 🇵🇷 🇵🇷
Yes
Yes we have.
Hell yeah, been waiting
Gonna be scary when he does the territories of the UK
don't forget the territories of France, Australia & Japan.. can't wait for more c r o i x
Imagine talking about every territory UK ever had or tried to, how many hours would that video last?
TODO EL MUNDO
I know what you mean bro 😁
white He did kinda talk about Christmas island.
American Samoans have US citizenship now, as of a few weeks ago.
Congrats!
I see this as a complete win
Yay absolute win
Has that ruling been upheld? I hope so. But I heard the territorial government doesn't want citizenship.
What citizenship did they have before?
please do uk overseas territories!
Yeah that will be good!

You also forgot to mention another fun fact about the Virgin Islands: It's the only U.S. administrative division where you drive on the left, similar to how the British and most Caribbean states drive.
Driving on the left while sitting on the left is an…interesting…experience at first
This is true! I was visiting St. John wit the rest of my family in the USVI and i had to remind my dad not to drive on the right so we wouldn't get be at risk of driving into head on traffic lmao.
You forgot to mention that the Virgin Islands are the only part of the US that drive on the left.
Heresy

I laughed so hard on that part.
*laughs in virgin*
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 that was awesome
Sad story, American Samoans do serve in the US military, and in high numbers, but the closest VA Hospital to the territory is in Hawaii.
We have one in American Samoa but it's only a clinic but when it's too big of an issue like illnesses and more appointments then they'll have to send them here at Tripler in Hawaii. My dad as a veteran is among those from back home that lives here in Hawaii because of lack of equipment and doctors.
I didn't know that. That's not right at all. I hate how poorly our veterans are taken care of.

OMG! I shouldn't laugh at this, but it was funny! 😂

Puertorican here!!! Pretty accurate, boricuas see themselves different from americans but think that being under US control is actually not a bad thing. Of course there are different opinions; a pro independence movement; but the majority is ok with US handling the important stuff, we don't trust our politicians and for good reasons.
One thing that is not in the video and very important is that we don't see races as US see races. The majority of puertoricans see themselves as tri-racial a mix between African-Spanish and Taino Heritage. Also if you ask a boricua is he is white or black he will be uncomfortable with the question specially younger generation because if one mark white one may fill that is not honoring the african and taino roots. I took that example because light skin boricuas are more common than dark skin boricuas. There are some new afro-puertorricans movement but these are more about embracing blackness than actually calling for creating a new type of ethnicity since most of African culture is embedded in puerto-rican culture. Almost all music of PR have african roots.
Also you should do a Video of only PR!
Gracias por el mensaje. :)
In truth PR is the wealthiest per capita Latina American “country” in the world. This has directly to do with being a US territory investing into the country and US businesses in PR.
If PR became independent their economy would collapse because PR US businesses would leave and at the same time a massive amount of PR would leave to the US if it became independent. PR does not have natural resources it’s neighboring islands have and does not have any special geographic advantages. Theirs success directly has to do with being a US territory.
On the other hand if they became a state their economy would increase massively with the influence of investment. While PR are the highest per capita in Latin America they are only half that of the US. This means the US federal government in addition to private investment would have to spend a lot of resources to impre the lives of PR. They would be forced to in order to get presidbelty votes.
Basically the Lives of PR would massively improve if they became a state and their society would bordering collapse if they became independent
@@AL-lh2ht Not entire true, US invested in PR long before colonization, there were a lot of US business in PR in the Spanish era. The invasion of PR was no brainier to USA, if PR left USA, probably US multinational will continue investing in PR and maybe more because they would not need to follow all the industrial federal regulation like what happen in Mexico a lot of companies are moving to Mexico because have less regulations. PR probably will be a US puppet state serving US interest. PR will not fall in socialism/communism that just fearmongering non-sense. PR always have been a right-wing-quasi-libertarian state, nationalization of property only occurred under US occupation, but since PR autonomy, PR have been selling everything to the private sector. For example the electric utility operation was sold to Luma energy (private sector). US and EU investment in PR made PR rich and no other Caribbean nation, but that only because of PR political/social stability. No civil wars, no political uprising, always deliver on time. PR have more political/social stability than any other country in the Americas that is good for business. Take for example other US-ex-colonies, they didn't have stability so they have to go. PR is always playing the long-game.
Thank you for representing the Northern Marianas Islands, we exist and are proud to be part of the U.S.
There are salty Japanese people on the islands aswell
What do you mean salty, a large amount of our tourists come from Japan and are always very nice and respectful.
@@noa670 I mean Japanese families who have been there before 1945
I miss The country on Miss Universe competition
I wanna visit!
"Say something in boricua." "...ay bendito?" 😂😂😂
Im a Puerto Rican yes! 🇵🇷 I mean what else can I say I’m proud of this place!
Yet, there are more Puerto ricans in USA mainland than in the island 🏝️
Amo Puerto Rico!
@@joshnavarrete6716 Puerto Ricans aren't Spanish they didn't get independence from Spain and are USA colony
My wife and I went to the US Virgin islands on our 20th wedding anniversary. We were too poor to go when we first got married. Lol.
Everyone was very friendly there and we had a great time.
Edit: wow. Thank y'all so much for the positive response! 👍
So cool! :D
Thanks for informing us of ur poverty after marriage
Are the people there Virgins? hehehe

@@weeman6970 lol. Ty
When a colony in the past has colonies 🤷♂️
:Carthage has entered the game:
Every colony in the past has colonies
@@2111jade sorry but Brazil doesn't, as most colonized countries in America.
@@Rishi123456789 Papua New Guinea wasn't an Australian colony. It just seceded along with Australia when the British first left, so wasn't really colonised.
Portugal has Timor Leste before Indonesia grabbed it in 1976. Then, at 1999 they got independence from us.
I always wondered why american samoa would want to be a territory but then I realised, they basically can do whatever they want, and they get to be a part of the U.S, which makes them basically untouchable, and it ties them to the most powerful economy
That and by being a territory they are like three times wealthier then Samoa itself despite Samoa being three times bigger.
Huge plus for Samoa. Far better off being a territory.
I'm actually American Samoan my mom says the main reason why is because we wanted to keep the aiga system and if we were incorporated the banks could take away land and sell it to non-natives but that doesn't stop natives from renting out their land to other ethnicities.
Puerto Rico is really amazing. I want to know more about it. Please🙏🙏 make a seperate video on Puerto Rico. Love Puerto Rico from India🇮🇳
I’m from Puerto Rico and I want to go to India 🇮🇳 so bad 😍❤️
@@sweetie4148 hey bro i dont understand one thing just like catalonia quebec
Why puerto ricans are not having independence movements like that
And do you like mainlanders or your island because according to pew research in next 80 years puerto rico will become nearly extinct with population of less than 500k mainly due to old age and domestic emigration
@@divyaprakash5189 theres independent political movement but no ones barely supports it I means I dotn know much but from what I've seen most Puerto Ricans prefer how it is I guess
@@laylowxalex the reality is PR is the wealthiest Latin American “country”. If they became independent their economy and living standard would collapse. Remember the US spend a lot of investment to make PR better and wealth is tied to many US businesses in PR. Remember unlike their neighbors PR does not have any real natural resources or geographic advantage. Even worse PR government is both corrupt and incompetent.
The fact becoming independent would be the worst they could do. By becoming a state PR would have the reverse happen and a huge amount of investments would be made to improve their lives.
8:45 we need a gif of that
yes we do someone go do it i dont know how
I was waiting for this one, sadly many people in the US itself do not know much about these territories i hope this video will help, good job!
Yes. He and his crew are so much better than the entire world's school system.
@@gavinhillick Exactly
Gavin Hillick it’s ironic how ignorant your comment is
Mister_A he’s ignorant himself ironically
@@KanyeTheGayFish69 I agree it's a stupid stereotype but the education system in the US is more self-centered than European countries when it comes to history and geography but they are better at other things. I only lived in the US for a few years though i may be wrong
Long time Boricua viewer here. Gracias for the compliments, your videos gets watched in the island by a lot of people
Don't speak Spanish because Puerto Ricans aren't Spanish you didn't get independence from Spain and are a American colony
I felt the passion from here when he talked about Puerto Rican women. I get you, Barbs, I get you
-_- yes
YOU SHOULD DO A WHOLE VIDEO ON PUERTO RICO IVE 👏🏼 BEEN 👏🏼 WAITING 👏🏼
Also thank you for calling us the coolest latinos ❤️
Isabel Ruiz YES!
Not a country. Maybe after all the countries are finished. Or as a filler episode.
Kolin Martz piss off
Puerto Rico is a place with a LOT of history and for him to explore all of that in a episode it would be amazing!!!
Definitely!! PR has such an amazing and historic background and importance in the Latin world, yes we are not a country but in almost every way act like our own country.

Puerto Rico really should be the 51st state or its own country.
The people here in Puerto Rico HATE being a territory but we are always on a constant battle between joining the states or being our own country
@@abielsanabria1599 I wish you good luck with reaching a satisfactory solution.
Be a state bruhhhh don't be like Venezuela or Mexico cuz they are a narco-state
Lugmillord honestly I’d say be independent, that way you can fully express yourselves and keep your culture, language, etc.
The US is the biggest drug consumer in the world.
As a Puertorican, im happy of this video. Heres a fact, Us virgin islanders sometimes come to Puerto Rico to buy stuff because its slightly cheaper here. I know it because I have been to dock ports before and I know some things.
Can we appreciate just how much better this man nd his whole crew are than the whole world's education systems
Well at least for the American education system and the ones like the American one

I knew Barby will make a Virginity Joke as soon as he mentions Virgin Islands 😂
As someone who actually used to live in the VI, trust me everybody thinks that
When my mother was a teen she lived on the island of St Croix in the Virgin Islands for a few years.
In the military, we have a lot of Puerto Ricans and they are the coolest people you'll ever meet.

Do the RESERVATIONS!!!!
Literally just autonomous regions

Check cgp grey they already made a part zero......no i'm serious they have a part 0
Why do y'all like know about the rez so much? Also cgp already got it wrong lol
@@letkwu All I know is I live near a Reservation. The Onieda Reservation in Wisconsin
Northern Mariana Islander here.
Interesting little side note for you Geograpeeps: The NMI is a great place to see World War II relics and sites scattered across the three inhabited islands of Saipan (pronounced "Sai-Pan" not "Sai-Pawn"), Tinian, and Rota. The other islands are largely uninhabited due to being active volcanic islands...Also, there are only 4 municipalities - Saipan, Tinian, Rota, and the Northern Islands Municipalities (sorry, Barbs).
Anyway, if you're interested in WWII History, I recommend going to the commonwealth territory to visit. Same with Guam, by the way.
I approve what he said about Puerto Rico 😂🇵🇷
Small thing left out: USVI are the only part of the US that drives on the left side of the road. All of the cars are right hand drive!
Not really states have their own official languages
8:41 what a classic Barby
Letting ya’ll know, the reason he didn’t mention our “representative” because PR is almost in a power vacuum, so we have some issues that make representatives and government kind of complicated. Only way to describe it is... Puerto Rico’s national sport might as well be politics
@@SantomPh District of Columbia is the same.
PR should become a state, the actual status makes no sense.
@@lvaruzza They keep voting for the status quo.
Hahaha I always tell people that. Baseball is a close second.
@@corvus1374 I know, I'm criticizing PR for this. I believe there is a great deal of political manipulation to keep the country as it is, being a state would be much better for the people.
Is it wrong that i find the US territories more interesting than the USA itself?
I mean the USA is one of the most immigrated nation in the world
Actually
It's true-
I'm from Guam, the info you gave is spot on! The only thing that we would have controversy with would be Micronesians. Our lineage is a bit different from the rest of Micronesia. As native descendants, we call ourselves Chamorro. This came about after the Spanish colonized the island. The word Chamorro is what the Spanish called our male ancestors with mostly shaven heads and a pony tail. So we don't really know what our ancestors called themselves prior colonization.
But we are still Micronesians though. In Saipan and the rest of the NMI we Chamorros id as micros not bcoz of any political boundaries but bcoz we are Pacific Islanders from the region known as Micronesia. Just bcoz our lineage is different from our other neighbors doesn’t mean we should not be considered Micronesians
@@jasonsan6708 not sure where you miss read, but I never mentioned we are not Micronesian. I just mentioned that there is a significant difference between the people of the Mariånas and the rest of Micronesia, and that this particular matter is always in question. In the end it’s just your opinion.

Hey Barbs, I just came back from visiting Guam and Saipan last month. I loved it but I enjoyed Saipan way way more. It’s a hike to get there but you would enjoy it!
Been to Puerto Rico, Guam and Northern Marianas. Got a trip to American Samoa planned for next month! Looking forward to USVI next year I hope. The territories are awesome and have a lot to offer, esp. awesome beaches and friendly people and a feeling of being both far away and close to home
I've been watching since the very start and have always wondered if you would do a video on territories now my wish has come true hello from the U.S V.I 🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮

That would have to come after all the countries are done as Puerto Rico is not an independent nation though it would be cool for them to do territories more in depth the issue is then you're going to have people from other states begging to have it done for their state as well
Don't speak Spanish Puerto Ricans aren't Spanish you didn't get independence from Spain and are American colony
I hope that after GN finishes Zimbabwe, there will be episodes on territories like Puerto Rico! Love you guys!
I used to live on Guam at the Naval Air Station (even though my dad was Air Force), back when Typhoon Pamela hit in the '70's. The climate was awesome all year round. Fun fact, there is another island named Maug relatively close by. I have some great childhood memories from living there and would love to visit again.

You don’t get enough recognition for your hard work. Each video is fantastic, professional and educational. Thank you for this channel 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Saipan is an interesting case, it's basically all golf courses and sweatshops. That big number of Filipino residents are mostly garment industry workers. Most labor laws don't apply to Saipan, but clothes made there get to be labeled as "made in the USA".
So it's a win-win situation!! 👍👍
Fun fact: None of the territories pay federal income tax. Pretty sweet :)
The USA episode will be an hour long.
Only because it's his country and Americans will moan like hell if it's not really really long
@@Iamtheliquor ... nah, I'm American and we just do not have more to cover than Russia did. Twenty-five to thirty minutes is more than plenty. "Friend Zone" is pretty long, but so was Russia. There's lots of major river and mountain and lake systems to hit, but again, so did Russia. Overseas military bases to quickly mention, but again, so did Russia. Maybe a skit or two about independence and cross-continental expansion, but again, so did Russia. Doing these filler videos on states and cities and territories massively reduces the pressure to lard up the USA country episode with things not present in every country episode
Limited Experience well I’m glad to hear you’ve got some sense and don’t need an overly long episode for the USA. Lets hope your fellow countrymen are as sensible
It will be _very_ long

*Weird*
Not really it's fairly normal for the states and territories to have their own official languages the country as a whole does not though it might as well be English

Fun fact: Philippines could be a US state. But, at last, Filipinos chose independence :-0
They weren't wrong
Lol, no, that's not how it works..
I always think people from Northern Mariana Islands and Guam were too clingy to the US. I mean, we were also acquired from the 1898 Treaty of Paris and we also had a Commonwealth.
Biggest mistake we did.
Nope. More like Puerto Rico
Actually Johnston Atoll is an unincorporated unorganized territory. The only incorporated unorganized territory is Palmyra Atoll. the incorporated part means the full constitution applies and the government can't sell the territory.
The video is excellent man.Your cool explanation makes us understand the country in the most simple way

You are such an entertaining person to watch. Thank you.
Thank you so much for talking about native Americans, and getting great images too. Most would just get the Long Plains Head dress but you got us in Pow-Wow regalia. In the USA episode it would be cool if you could do a segment of native speakers or just a segment alone to natives in general since we are true Americans
I'm from Orlando, AKA Puerto Rico north. Seriously they've taken over this city, its just as common to hear people speaking Spanish on the street and in the stores as English.

6:22 - "Cubans, Dominicans, and Puerto Ricans make up the trifecta of Latin Caribbeans."

Are they though? More like francophone creole peoples with a sprinkle of latin...Even the ABC islands are more latin.
@@Wanderer25 For one, Haiti's national language is French alongside Haitian Creole.
@@Wanderer25 I'd consider them to be Latin Americans because French is a Latin-based language, just like Spanish. Also, I never really thought about the ABC islands being Latin, I forgot their creole is Portuguese/Spanish-based.
Not a joke, their background is French, so no, they're not Latinos.
@@seiph80 I'm aware they aren't Latinos since "Latino" refers to Spanish-speaking cultures in Latin America, but Latinos aren't the only "Latin" people in Latin America since that region also includes Francophones and Lusophones.

Thank you very much for this - again - very informative Video!🙂👍
I adore you guys. You're inspiring for creative work!
I'm from Guam, and whoa -- you pronounced Hagåtña correctly! I like the older name of our capital (Agaña) a lot more, but it is what it is. By the way, in regard to Saipan in the Northern Marianas, if you want to sound like a local, you can pronounce it "Sa-ee-pan" (the last syllable sounds like frying "pan," not "pun").

Thanks for all this info Barbs
Good video I like this video it was entertaining and a lot more informative that I would have expected good video.
Now you've peaked my interest in Native American Reservations. Can you do a video on their different reservations, tribes, rights, etc.???
Covering about 574 of them is way too much to fit in one video
oil: man today's a wonderful..
america:DAY FOR AMERICA, GIMME THAT OIL
haha Funniy I'm ludghingf ghihuhhuv
edward m8 you realize that almost all oil in the us is domestically produced
The recently deceased Kirk Douglas had socks older than that "joke."
edward m8 These have never been funny
@@KanyeTheGayFish69 Not only that, but the US is now the number one oil producer in the world.
Great video as always Barby
Great vid! Bro we need a flag breakdown, geography breakdown. All that. U the man bro
I am so happy my country, the Philippines, received Independence from the US, because we do not want to inherit the problems of the US and lose our identity
Yeam and I'm glad we don't own that sorry place
@@Jake_Marbais_ your loss, because if you did own us, America would have complete domination of the pacific ocean and have a strong foothold in Asia.
@@TheKnowledgeMan101 and have the burden of raising some 90 million people to the level of prosperity people in the mainland are enjoying. I am glad you guys got your independence but Filipino independence was inevitable.
@@juice8431 Yeah, but I don't think the population would reach that level considering the liberal culture of America
@@TheKnowledgeMan101 I think I gotta disagree. The baby boom post ww2 was pretty global. Would have happened either ways.
i’ve been waiting for this, i live in guam
As a military member, I find this video very interesting. Thank you, and have a great day.
Very Good Paul. I have been to many of the Pacific islands you mentioned but never fully understood their relationship to the USA. I am less confused now. I will revisit this video again and dive into google too. Thanks. Divierte te su visite a Isla Verde.
@Hello Patrick how are you doing?
Yes! Please make a video of Puerto Rico! It definitely deserves it'd own video.
Dwayne Is Half Samoan
Me: **Spits Coffee** Wait WHAT??
Literally everyone knows this
@watergod 83 he's half black, half Samoan.
It's ok, let me buy you another coffee
Thanks for this information very interesting it's funny I was talking to my brother about somoa yesterday and now this video is up I don't remember going over the all U.S territories in school or maybe I didn't pay attention either way I know now
You could definitely make a whole episode about PR. There are so many interesting things about that small, beautiful island.
