- Can I Say A Random Fact About Every Country? Check out my other RUclips channels below! @JackSucksAtLife @JackSucksAtStuff @JackMasseyWelsh @JackSucksAtClips @nocontext @GeogStuff
on JackSucksAtGeography we upload a range of easy to watch & sometimes educational geography related content. I have successfully learned all 197 countries and flags of the world. I also look at interesting maps to teach us more about different parts of the world and their culture. On this channel I also play Geoguessr.

Thank you! I was about to say the same, he was wrong and never corrected it! I hope he reads this message!

Okay, here are some more ... obscure and interesting facts about the countries mentioned:
1. Liechtenstein is the world's largest producer of fake teeth (by far, like, over 75% of them);
2. Guinea has the world's largest reserves of bauxite, aka aluminium ore (25% of them);
3. Poland may very well be the last country in the world in human history to successfully invade and subdue Russia (back in the 17th century);
4. Tanzania is home to the northernmost and most isolated Khoisan group in Africa (and by extent, the world): The Hadzabe use the characteristically Khoisan click sounds despite being surrounded by Bantu speakers for leagues. (Some anthropologists argue that that makes them among the oldest, aka earliest-diverging, peoples in the world);
5. The Republic of the Congo MIGHT be home to one of the last uncontacted tribes in the world (big MIGHT). Otherwise, it has one of the largest populations of gorillas in the world;
(also, Jack, Leopold II acquired the DRC, not the ROC smh)
6. Syria was one of the cradles of civilisation. Its capital city, Damascus, is the oldest continously-inhabited capital city (and may be the oldest countinously-inhabited city in general) in the world, as settlements there date back 8000 years or so;
7. Argentina is home to the largest Welsh-speaking community in the world outside of the United Kingdom. One may find a "new Wales" in Patagonia, with Welsh writing on signs and everything!;
8. Morocco is, according to the Guiness Book of World Records itself, home to the oldest university in the world (Al-Qarawyyine in Fez, an institution of higher learning initially built as a mosque in 809, that has been issuing degrees since the 10th century, and rebranded as modern university in the 1970s);
(to you, my dear Jack, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined)
9. Trinidad and Tobago has one of the largest Hindu communities in the world by percentage (about a quarter of the population);
10. Yemen is one of the very few countries in the world to have been Jewish (under the Kingdom of Himyar in the 5th century), Christian (under the control of Axum) and Muslim (under the Rashidun Caliphate);
11. China (the PRC specifically) has 10 out of the 10 largest cities in the world that start with the letter X (Xiamen, Xi'an, Xiangyang, Xingtai, etc);
12. Ghana may be the country with the most European countries trying to colonise it in history: there were Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, English, Prussian, Danish, German, Swedish and British colonies at different points in time. Oof;
13. Oman contains a town that once had the hottest 24 hours ever recorded (It never went below 42.6C);
14. Mongolia has the highest horse-to-man ratio in the world (in fact, there are more horses than people there);
15. Andorra is the largest country in the world (by area) not to have any airports;
16. Zimbabwe was home to Great Zimbabwe between 1225 and the 1450s, a giant city built entirely of stone (hence the name) that supported the (arguable) earliest great civilisation of southern Africa and used to sell gold to the Swahilis as the southernmost element of the Indian Ocean "Arab" trade;
17. Sao Tome and Principe was the place where the first experimental evidence for Einstein's theory of general relativity was found: British physicist Sir Arthur Eddington travelled there to witness a solar eclipse in 1919, and he ended up detecting some stars that shouldn't have been visible if their light hadn't been bent as described by relativity;
18. The Federated States of Micronesia has the largest shark sanctuary in the world: they dedicated about 1,000,000 sq km of their waters to shark protection by banning shark fishing there;
19. India was likely the most populated entity in the world for most of human history. It was overtaken by late Ming China and has now recently regained this status (and will probably maintain it for the forseeable future);
20. Sudan is the country with the most pyramids in the world (not Egypt, not Mexico, but Sudan);
21. Norway gave birth to Roald Amundsen, the leader of the first expedition to reach the South Pole (although everyone almost went crazy due to language barriers);
22. Panama is the country with the most ships registered under its name in the world (over 6,000);
23. Ukraine has given the world some of its most vicious serial k*llers (idk why Ukraine in particular has birthed more notorious ones than, say, Germany or Italy, despite the population difference);
24. Dominica has the largest hot spring in the entire northern hemisphere (second largest in the world after one in New Zealand);
Hope this is informative :)
Nice job!
Thanks! Very Helpful!
3. I think that would be Germany in WW1, though maybe not if you consider the result of the entire war.
bro how did u find these facts i love reading this lol imagine this but for every country and territory in the world
@@ShantanuShinde1 Germany did not succesfully invade the USSR: they sieged St Petersburg for 4 years but never got in, they were stopped 20 km or so away from Moscow, and they ended up being the ones invaded, whereas Poland reached Moscow and forced the then-Tsar to sign a peace treaty.

Hey Jack, just for a bit of context on the Argentina Falkland Islands situation, in 2013 a vote was held there, regarding whether they wanted to remain british, or become Argentinian, 99,80% voted to stay a part of the UK, whilst 3 people voted to join Argentina. The Falkland Islands have no actual connection to Argentina, at least none that make sense.
(This is coming from someone who strongly opposes colonialisation)
Yeah, I was going to comment something similar - the Falklanders are mostly British ethnically and have lived there for generations. There's no connection to Argentina, they're just close. The islands were uninhabited until Europeans settled there (they were co-inhabited by British, French, and Spanish people at various points). The Falklands want to be British and I think that should be respected; that's why the war happened.
I am also not someone who agrees with colonisation. This isn't really in the same category, though, imo. The Falklands were uninhabited and didn't belong to anyone prior to Europeans ca. 18th century. Over time, Britain claimed it as other countries renounced their claims to different parts of the islands. If they ever want to join Argentina, I think they should be allowed to, but they don't want to and have no real link to them. Just like if NI ever wants to join the rest of Ireland, I think they should be allowed to, but I don't think they'll be voting yes in this decade at least as they've somewhat built up their own identity separate to Ireland. Not to say there aren't supporters, just that I think a referendum would be unlikely to pass (I have family in NI, I'm not just speaking out of my arse).
@@rosehipowl "They are just close" did you see the map? They are not just close, they are far far faaaaaar away from the UK.....
@@bettinaceciliasilveira5773 and? There's nothing beyond that. The UK is far away but, again, most of the people want to remain British and I believe they should be allowed to decide for themselves and not just given away against their will because Argentina is closer. That makes no sense, Argentina's only claim is that it's close whereas several European countries have inhabited it for centuries longer. If claims are based on proximity then I think that's stupid.
No, yeah, you are completely right. The thing that happened was that during the argentine dictature, argentine leaders sent troops to the islands in order to make the argentine people mad because of other things that the government. It is still used to this day as a bit of propaganda, and most argentines claim that the Falkland Islands are part of Argentina.

Republic of the Congo: Gets landed on. Jack: Describes the DRC.
no jack, Ukraine's flag isn't based off of a wheatfield, it's simply based off of the colours used in rulers coats of arms throughout history, two flags were used in the Ukrainian independence movement, one was the current one and one had the yellow on top, the wheatfields is just a rhetoric to remember the flag
was about to comment this as well. The origin of their flag may be lost to time
Ukraine is a Russian oblast
Blame RealLifeLore they said it in one of their videos
idk how he didnt think of chernobyl when needing a ukraine fact (technically it was the ukranian *ssr* but i think it still counts
Bro I'm Ukrainian and Ukrainian flag bases on wheat field on bottom and nice sky on top the thing about reversed one is sea on the bottom and sun on the top so it is based on one so why do you think that in Ukraine so many wheat fields and why the sky is so clear?😂

- Swedens tallest mountain is called Kebnekaise.

- In South Korea, you turn 1 year old as soon as you enter the world. Everybody also turn a year older January 1st every year. So a baby born december 31st is only 1 year old for a day, then they turn 2 years old when they're really just 2 days old 😂🤨
