Fun fact: Liberia was founded by the American Colonization Society, because they'd rather ship slaves back to Africa than free them in America. That's why the flag of Liberia is a bootleg of the American one - that's almost literally what happened. It's also why their capital is named after President James Monroe. Turns out the former slaves did a ton of pretty-much-slavery of their own once let loose in Liberia, even though their constitution banned slavery, and these Americo-Liberians were incredibly racist against the native Liberians. If you want 'bitter irony: the country', look no further than Liberia. Maryland also made a not-colony for this purpose at around the same time, in around the same place even. The Republic of Maryland no longer exists, since it was absorbed into Liberia, but that's a cool fact I guess.
History is filled with such ironies. The Iroquois are heavily idealized as being peaceful and democratic... but that was only between themselves. As a group, they genocided and enslaved tons of other natives.
11:38 The Canary Islands autonomous community flag, and the Slovenian Naval jack both have white, lilac(sorta),and yellow. Both are tricolours, with the former being horizontal and the latter one being vertical, just like we see in game. Tune in next time for more useless vexillology trivia!
Costa Rica at least gets its own Emperor thanks to Kaiser Wilhelm in Kaiserredux (Emperador Augusto Guillermo aka Kaiser August Wilhelm). Definitely better than the caudillo Figueres.
@@andrejapaunic4761 Good one, but I mean the formable country (the actual formable country is called "Mutapa", but if you create it while your government's fascist, your nation is called Greater Zimbabwe)
Fun fact: Liberia experienced one of two instances of the League of Nations actually doing something, when they came down on Firestone for using slave labor.
I actually played Liberia once, and only for the "No Country for Old Men" achievement. As soon as I got it, I left because I literally did nothing for the longest time.
I did that as Paraguay once, I was at war with Bolivia in veteran ironman and had almost won, my manpower was running dry so I had to go at scraping the barrel, that fixed nothing, though.
Hey guys, do you think we're torturing this man and slowly make him emotionless by the extreme pain? If he's emotionless, we'll have to find a new one, but I've grown quite a bit of an attachement to him, more than last time.
Sing it with me and sing it loud: LIBERIA LAND OF LIBERTY, WHAT A PLACE TO BE PRESIDENT TUBMAN. WE’LL LEAD THE WAY TO A BRAND NEW DAY, SETTING THE NATION FREE.
I played a UK game where I forgot to turn historical ai focuses on, and as a result I had to fight Italy, Germany, and France in that order, while ALSO holding the line against the Soviets. All this to say, that when Liberia joined the Allies, I gave them a huge chunk of west Africa and by the time the game was over in '47-ish, they had like 12 divisions actively fighting the Japanese on the frontline in China.
Love your Insanity. Got here in 35 seconds. Cant wait for democratic Luxembourg artillery only 1 Speed world conquest. Thanks for this great entertainment
Fun fact, in 1927 the king of Liberia broke records having received 234,000 votes towards himself in the election! *In a country that only had 15,000 people*
No one tell ISP El Salvador in early 1990s (I think) actually invaded Honduras and was winning heavily until the US and UN told them to stop. So its realistic that they win against Honduras.
So I have these unnecessarily large concert style speakers and an amplifier connected to my laptop on my desk in my room, but my aux cable that is complete garbo from amazon. To get a good connection I have to poke them in and out, which I was doing while starting this video. For some reason the volume was turned all the way up on the amp and as I put the aux in, my AMP blared ISP saying "LIBERIA" to my entire fucking neighborhood. It's 1:30AM. I'm certain I woke up at least someone with ISP's voice here.
When you get to Peru, I'd suggest you try En Union y Libertad, it's pretty good It has focus trees for Colombia, Bolivia, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and I think maybe Paraguay?
I’m pretty sure that’s the flag of “classical liberal” movement, although most of the people that use that flag don’t always agree with all the principals that real classical liberals used.
Every time I hear of Liberia I think back to a documentary I watched about it, how in one of the major cities everyone just went to the beach to shit, and it was just covered in human feces. And the mayor of the city himself, would go out to the beach and shit along with the townsfolk. Have you ever shat on a beach with your mayor? Didn't think so.
11:39 I had to Google it; I'm generally good with flags bt that one was hard 😅 *Canary Islands* has a white, blve and yellow tricolor. Otherwise, Bosnia/Herzegovina is the closest yov'll get, with all those colovrs
Agroculture is the process of growing and maintaining rage and aggression. Like Hearts of Iron 4. You can look it up. Trust me. Also, because its economy was so backwards, at this time, Liberia only had TWO licensed doctors in the whole country, which is probably why your general keeps falling ill.
Liberia: *Has a good amount of rubber* Also Liberia: *Literally exist to 48% out of Under 15yo* My call is that the papacy fcked it up again.... haha I see myself out
At first I wasn't sure about the mod thinking that it might take away from ISP's suffering but when I saw he could get 42069 manpower I knew that this mod added so much to this video.
"welcome to my 1speed Hearts of iron 4 game, where I sit around as Liberia and wait until my Shrek Aircraft Carrier has finished building in 1992. Just 50 more years to go!"
today i realize that isps hoi4 a-z videos cure my depression, but then i realize that its not getting rid of the depression its simply transferring it to him.
On your answer - sometimes White Blue and Yellow is sometimes used by russian diaspora in Odessa (although obviously such a scheme is not recognized by the Kiev government). Most of Southeast regions have these weird knockoffs of our own flag but with Ukrainian colors injected here and there to distinguish them between themselves. Nikolaev uses similar but blue is higher than white
I'll have you know, I didn't play hoi4 since like 2016, but because I got hooked on this shitty series I've played like 200 hours in the past month. So thanks for strangling my productivity. Proud to be a gravy baby
