    EDIT:
    There seem to be a few skeptics, which is fair I suppose, so here's a video from another angle:
    ruclips.net/video/8VRJs_Xo8yM/видео.htmlsi=H7SYUAdX2HBxFzDo
    Hello everyone!
    Due to the sheer size of this undertaking, I have run into some of RUclips's limitations:
    - I can't seem to have more than 100 chapters (timestamps), so I've had to group countries together rather haphazardly.
    - I've had to restrict the timestamp descriptions to country names, as I would otherwise run into the 5000 character limit.
    Also, some minor things I noticed or was made aware of:
    - I miss Mombasa when doing Kenya, but notice this at 2:43:58
    - I somehow forgot to add the flag and facts for Maldives
    - In Norway, *Møre- og Romsdal* was already completed, not Vestland
    This took 6 hours to render. 3 earlier attempts led to crashes, once at 97%.
    Enjoy!
    P.S. I regret not adding some more context to my brief comments on Ukraine/Russia. I meant that I can understand why JetPunk has chosen to consider Crimea Russian as it has been under Russian control for a decade. That said, I also understand that de facto conditions is *not* all that matters, and that by calling it Russian, one contributes to making the whole situation feel more normal/acceptable. In trying to give context to JetPunk's choice, but also wanting to move along as fast as possible, it came out way too nonchalant and one-sided.

I congratulate you heavily on this, I am dumbfounded on how you even managed to remember all of these names, especially when the translation of them comes out with extremely awkward spelling. You have come a very long way from naming the subdivisions by continent, which was already impressive enough. Outstanding work, Mercateer 👍👍

    Anhui is pronounced as: An-hway.
    When it comes to China, I love how geographically sensible the provinces are and how many are in pairs. You got the Yellow River (Huanghe) separating the provinces of Hebei (north of the river, where bei means north) and Henan (south of the river, where nan means south); then south from those you have Dongting Lake (Dongtinghu) separating Hubei (north of the lake) and Hunan (south of the lake) provinces. Also, you have Shandong (Eastern Mountains) and Shanxi (Western Mountains). Way down south you have The Eastern (dong) Expanse (Guangdong) and the Western (xi) Expanse (Guangxi). This dosen't stop with provinces. Beijing means northern capital while Nanjing means southern capital. Tokyo by the way means eastern capital. There is no Western capital, but there is a "Western Peace," or Xi'an. In the south east however, the provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangxi may seem similar in naming convention, but are quite different, they both refer to a different river which flow through them.
    Anyhow, this was mind-numbingly impressive!

      Thank you! I actually watched a video on Chinese provinces, and it was indeed very interesting. I was disappointed to realize that I had forgotten quite a few of the pronunciations when I recorded this. They really don't seem to stick in my brain, probably because it's just such a different language to my native ones!
