- What is the largest country subdivision in the world?
This might appear to be a tough question at first, but what I mean by this is what is the largest state or province in the entire world. Alaska might be a good first guess, but it quickly becomes apparent that this couldn't be further from the truth. As it turns out, Russia is home to the largest subdivisions in the world, the largest being the Sakha Republic, which is huge enough to be the 8th largest country in the world.

Yup!
@Leo_Sigal11What's not true about it?
I was just looking that up.
States and provinces tend to get bigger in the more sparcely populated regions.
Siberia is one of the first things that comes to mind when thinking of sparcely populated areas.
This was the comment I was going to make. The reasons to sub divide are more political than geographical. So large empty regions don't need to be split up as much. Antarctica being the best example of this. No one lives there permanently and it has no states.
Wrong, a few hundred scientists live there permantely (there are multiple stations that are manned all year round) and it doesn't have states bc it itself is not a country. Countries like France and the UK have laid claims to regions of Anartica tho, like Adélie Land.
@@gracelandtoo6240 No one lives there permanently. The is a permanent settlement, but the scientist come and go. Google is your friend.

@@stevenlarson3316 learn before you comment. Siberia is a grouping of Provinces.

Also good to remember that Alaska isn't actually as big as it looks on a flat map. It's just that countries at the top and bottom of the flat map get enlarged in what's called the Mercator projection
Same with Greenland. It actually slightly annoyed me that he used the Mercator projection to visualize the states' area.
They are still big though. I don't remember the borders of the Russian oblasts. If I had to make a guess prior to watching this video multiple locations came to mind. These were Alaska, Greenland, Western Australia and something in Siberia. When you use true size of you can se WA is bigger than Alaska and Greenland, but it isn't by a large margin.
@@Vincrand totally, Russia is absolutely massive.
@@Vincrand it's pedantic, but Krasnoyarsk and Sakha technically aren't oblasts.
@@cheeseofglass yeah I remembered a bit after this comment that there are different terms for the regions depending on the level of local autonomy.
Yakutia is indeed massive
Australian here, grew up always knowing it was never Alaska because Western Australia was always the second biggest in the world. Australians actually think it’s funny how Americans think American states are big. They are usually small.
Russia having a small piece of it large enough to be in the top 10 biggest countries in the world on its own is really fitting.
No it's not

@@terrybeardsleyii8878what
That’s such a non-American thing to say
You guys are the only people who would say that
I'm Sakha and I would like to answer the most popular questions here:
1. The Yakut language is part of the Turkic group of languages, but due to the remoteness from the main group, our language is not very similar to the rest (we have similar numbers, some words and the basics of word formation). Also, because of our isolation, our language is similar to the ancient Turkic.
2. On the territory of modern Yakutia in the 16-17 centuries, a huge number of nomadic tribes (Evenks, Evens, Dolgans and others) lived. When our ancestors came from Central Asia and settled here, mixing with these tribes began and this is how the modern Yakuts appeared (the historical theory of the appearance of our people)
3. We are pagans. Our world is divided into three levels (1. The upper world, in which our gods sit at different levels. 2. The middle world is the world of people in which people live in harmony with nature. In the middle world, ichchi (spirits of the forest, spirits of rivers, spirits of mountains, etc.) 3. The lower world is the world of evil spirits (abaahy) And there are also guides to these worlds - shamans, they can be both women and men.
4. By nature, the Yakuts are very isolated from each other, in the old days each clan lived in a separate area, I believe that this has survived to this day, since the republic is divided into 34 districts and they are all very different, in each of them there are people look different and speak different dialects.
5. In the 17th century, Russian Cossacks came to us, who discovered new lands to the east of the Ural Mountains. At this time, the Yakut clans were moving towards uniting into a single state under the leadership of the head of a large and influential clan. Russian conquerors came, began to demand yasak (fur tax), most of the clans did not want to obey and fought back. The Russians exterminated men, took women and children prisoner, burned villages. They did a lot of terrible things, but history is silent about this. Despite the fact that the Yakuts had a highly developed metallurgy, they still lost and were forced to pay yasak for several more centuries.
6. In 1982, our Republic had its own constitution, its own president and local parliament, but a few years ago our constitution was taken away and the post of president is no more.
7. In Yakutia (as well as in Siberia as a whole) there are a lot of minerals: diamonds, oil, gas, gold, silver, even uranium), but according to the stupid laws of our country, "everything that lies underground is the property of the state." All these resources are extracted by Russian companies that pay taxes to Moscow, therefore, from these resources, the republic receives only that its beautiful virgin nature is spoiled by mining companies. Oil is sold to Europe, gas and timber to China, diamonds will soon run out.
8. About why Yakutia did not separate from Russia and whether it should calve. I will say this, about a million people now live in Yakutia, half of which are Yakuts, and the other half are Russians, Ukrainians, Kyrgyz and many other peoples who have been living here for a long time. And this is very little. Yakutia has no army, little money and no opportunity to become a full-fledged country right now, because nothing on our land belongs to us now. So I think it's impossible. At least for now.
9. About the influence of Russians on our culture. After forcibly joining the Russian Empire, the Yakuts were forcibly baptized, and then given Russian names and surnames. The Yakut alphabet was changed to Cyrillic. In general, the great influence of the Russian language is noticeable, in our language there are many borrowed words from the Russian language, altered in their own way.
10. Yakutia (also Siberia and the Far East) was a place where various criminals were sent, as well as political exiles, etc. Many very educated people were sent here, whose views did not coincide with the main ideology of the country, and these people were engaged in the education of the locals, wrote a lot of works here and greatly helped the cultural development of our region.
11. From the end of the 19th century, the active formation of the Yakut intelligentsia began. But with the advent of Soviet power, repressions began of local politicians, writers, and in general of all influential people who could form opposition views or insist on sovereignty. Most often they were accused of espionage, since at that time there was an active intervention of the United States, Japan and China in the Far East. In some years it was even forbidden to speak the Yakut language.
12. Previously, the territory of the republic was much larger and included part of the nears regions and even had access to the Sea in the east, where there was a port through which trade with Japan took place.

You can't just drag something from the north and drop it onto something further south and get an actual size comparison. It's the Mercator Projection. It's a 3-d shape projected onto a 2-d space. Areas in the extreme north, like Alaska and Greenland, appear much bigger than they actually are.

No disrespect, but why are all Indians overproud (I made that word up)?
I mean it's easy to understand why.
Siberia is huge as shit and because sakha republic has basically no people the government can make a bigger subdivision with low people which is easy to govern.
The Indian economy used to be the highest is the world along with china. It controlled 1/4th of the world's wealth. But since the 1700s instability and British rule downright destroyed the Indian economy. And post independence the Indian economic management was shit causing little growth. The Indian economy did not open up until the 1990s and it has been one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

Russia is MASSIVE. It is about half the size of South America, a continent.
It’s actually about the size of South America. Roughly speaking, you add France to Russia and it gets as large as South America
@@augth Wow!
It will be smaller soon, as we Yakut Sakha get our independence from racist nazzies russians
@Rýgon | 希亜万壱 Pluto is not a planet dude
Russia is not a country it’s a federation. Siberia is colonized by Russia to exploite its natural ressources.
When a state in your country is bigger than a country itself, you better feel proud
That’s the case for almost every country tho
@@SSADO- Ik just saying xd
Imagine if China took Siberia then it'll be one of the largest country ever.
Only an American would think it's Alaska lol
As a Russian I’m pretty happy we’re here. 🇷🇺
Enjoy it until you are torn apart🤡⚰️
