Well, There is a little man-made chanal in Germany, that's connecting the baltic and north sea that was build round about 1890. It's called the Kiel-chanal, it is the most used aritficial waterway these days and it took about 8 years to build with the tools of the time. And since that Ireland idea was proposed around the time the chanal was made, the artist might have been inspired by this.
Actually both the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal see significantly more traffic than the Kiel Canal, though I’m not exactly sure which sees more overall. Regardless, the Kiel Canal is almost certainly the third most travelled man-made canal in the world.
@@corneliusmcmuffin3256 Ok, that's wrong. I looked it up before I wrote my comment, so despite the fact that the other canals pass more percent of the global seetrade moneywise, I was talking about ships and there, Kiel-canal is number one. Roundabout 30000 ships pass through the Kiel chanal in a year, 18829 ships pass through the Suez canal and "just" 13700 ships pass through the Panama canal. The ships going through Suez and Panama are a lot bigger but there are tons of smaller ships that don't have to cross entire oceans to deliver their goods.
"Thick Guatemala" actually looks fairly similar to the real (but very shortlived) Republic of Central America.

4:18 That right there is a correct mongolia. Currently, PRC has "inner mongolia", a region they held onto after Mongolia gained its independence and refuses to return to Mongolia.
Not really a “refuses to return” moment It has been settled for decades that China can keep it The map is weird however because it gives Uyghur and Tibet independence despite the ROC claiming both (and subduing Tibet) prior to its “Formal” transition from the ROC to The Republic of Taiwan
4:00 the ROC turned out to be horribly bad at keeping strategic lands, having lost control over tibet (which is the source of most of asia's large rivers) and 4:16, the land added to mongolia is the inner mongolia province of china, which house more mongolian than the actual mongolia 4:21 maybe north korea might eventually have to reform economically, and ended up in a similar situation to cuba now
