AND... Who will win Eurovision???
Australia!
It will be Croatia, possibly Isreael, cus they’ve gotten so much love from the comunity, I hope for Switzerland though.
Edit: I’m happy right now
Estonia
Not the Netherlands, and I'm glad, bc I don't like the song
LATVIA!
Australia having one of the best qualities of life in the world and being red on the map:
Third best and still red…
I am not sure about the best quality of life in the world. It's very hot and sparsely populated continent. Plagued by wild fires. But I am pretty sure it's very nice and well developed in places where people live. But certainly not the best in the world.

Best quality of life? WTF? Have you been overseas?
@@kallekas8551Read what I said again.
The map at the end is just wrong in so many ways. Putting Australia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, *all* of South Africa, Egypt, Algeria, and Morocco, in the same tier as North Korea and Afghanistan. Saying that places like Yemen and Ukraine which have active wars going on are better than the countries just mentioned as well as having China in hard mode which yeah for some of the minority groups like the Tibetian's and Uyghur's could be true is definitely not true for the han Chinese people which can't just be given the excuse of "oh some of them are so it should all be orange", no because it has a bunch of different US states in different colours so this excuse makes no sense at all. On top of that putting Sweden in hard mode when it is one of the most well developed places in the entire world as well as Saudi Arabia which is getting even better by the day and the UAE being in hard mode which sure the UAE does mistreat many foreign workers but for the people who actually live there seem to have no kind of hardship in their lives especially for the fact the government gives citizens lots of privileges (getting free land, marriages and funerals being paid for by the government, not having to pay taxes, ect.) so trying to say that is in the same tier as places with active wars just leaves me with no words.
"Difficult mode" is purely subjective and depends on a lot of factors including the person itself.
Any such map drawn by a human who did not experience all the countries simultaneously
(which is impossible) Will be inaccurate.
I think,to create such maps,we need to use data science and machine learning algorithms.
1. This map isn’t supposed to be taken seriously
2. Places like Australia and the heart of Brazil are so hard to survive it’s pretty much impossible
3. Other places like India are still developing so many have no access to clean water
@@CatfoodChronicles6737How is it hard to survive in Australia?
@@lightningalex5324 …..spiders, kangaroos and others
@@CatfoodChronicles6737 Kangaroos only attack if you get too close to them. Spiders are in some states but not others. Do you have any legit examples?
i disagree with Japan being easy mode, cant be easy being in a society that constantly pressures you to be better and constantly studying and all that, same applies with south korea

Im glad I live in a country with no tipping culture
i live in one on the other way sharing food with strangers is normal
I live In the us, even though tipping is expected, I have not and will never tip, I need my money. Idc if they get pissed off
@@Owen8369you cheapass. They pay waiters and waitresses several dollars below minimum wage because they work for tips.
In my country some people might even get mad if u tip
@@Owen8369 cheapass. Waitresses get paid a fraction of minimum wage because they work for tips.
I remember from sociology or psychology class that there’s actually a stigma on certain types of people because of tipping habits. There’s certain odds on what your age and race is because of that.
Corrections for 7:35 map (my opinion):
- France Orange 🟧 (major immigrant issues and education issues)
- UK Yellow 🟨 (a bit of immigrant issues and brexit)
- Yemen Red 🟥 (civil war)
- Eastern part of Ukraine Red 🟥 (Russian invasion)
- Italy Yellow 🟨 (minor mafia problems)
- All Baltics (at least) Yellow 🟨 (Much more developed than Russia Ukraine, etc.)
- Greece Orange 🟧 (major economical issues)
- Japan and South Korea Yellow 🟨 (Both high cost of living and hard asf educations)
- Australia at least Orange 🟧 (come on you're SO scared of giant spiders? Australia has a very high quality of life!)
- Ohio Black ⬛️ ([REDACTED])
I like how Ohio is its own category, considering the fact that you'll constantly get memed about and if you react you become a soyjak.
canada moved down to green
ohio moved up from black (Intense) all the way up to a random JJT difficulty
-France is NOT orange. It's easy-green %100.
-Minor mafia problems that nobody cares. Italy is easy mode-green.
-Australia must be easy-green. They are living peacefully on the other side of with tons of money. Spiders can't be a reason while we are talking about economical crisis' or war. It's ridiculous.
-Greece can't be orange. Their debt was record high %300 and Germany (and other countries) saved them because they are an EU member. They have 21k GDP per capita now. If Greece is orange, what is my Turkey? Black? Lol. Must be yellow-normal.
At this point pit every country but Antarctica as red 😂😂😂
Also most of Latin America, I'd put in yellow or orange, the only ones that'll be red would be Haiti, Venezuela, and Honduras. And some areas in Africa and the Middle East I'd put in orange instead of red, like Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Morocco, and Ghana
The map at 7:35 is the most lobotomized thing I've ever seen. I know things are probably not going overly well in states like Michigan or Florida but thinking it's just as bad as in Africa is really dumb. And it really makes my brain melt how Sweden, one of the most well-developed countries in the world is the same color as countries like Ukraine or Yemen which are at literal war. I'm also not going to start about Africa being the same color over the whole continent as if Tunisia is the same as Burundi.
Fax, agreed with everything, as someone from Tunisia, can confirm this message
Also, Alberta has the highest GDP per capita and has some of the lowest housing prices in Canada. Why is Alberta orange
@@theacroway2056 I heard that they pay people royalty from oil instead of charging them income tax. Probably same with Norway, they have so much revenue from oil for a relatively small population.
As a Dutch person, I can't speak for everyone ofc, but the parties do have an effect on the approval rate of the Monarchy
I am an Estonian myself but my stepfather is Dutch and he says it is basically true.
Oh dear, Zimbax! There is no "more bigger". The -er at the end of "big" means "more" all by itself.
We all learn something new every day. 😀
Those two phrases are basically the same. Notice that i didn't just say "the same" I added "basically" To show more meaning

I rarely tip in Australia. It would have to be a fairly upscale restaurant where I had received very good service.
I LOVE maps! Thanks for the great video Zimbax!
Correction :
Morocco 🟨 , sure it can be dangerous but the quality of life is pretty good as i am a moroccan too.
Algeria 🟨, practically the same as morocco but bigger.
Tunisia 🟨, literally the same as the other two.
Libya, Egypt 🟧, theyre nice countries overall in the local areas but Libya is flushed with war and Egypt has a very big tourism scamming problem.
Mauritania, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Gabon, Rwanda 🟧, not the worst countries to live in but DEFINITELY not the best. ("what about Rwanda"? Yes it's developing but it's still JUST recovering from ethnic cleansing)
I'm looking at YOU south africa.
Botswana deserves to be AT LEAST a 🟨, one of the most fair and developed countries in africa, very worth visiting.
Seyshelles, Mauritius 🟩very developed countries, high GDP (Gross Domestic Product) per capita and HDI (Human Development Index).
(NOT AFRICA but whatever) The quality is pretty low and i'm pretty sure palestine is colored in red, well... sadly you should bump it down to ⬛tier (The you are going to die by the fucking age of 2 here level)
The popularity of the Monarchy in Spain isn't that low, the poll seems that it found a sample of people more against it, but irl its like 52% support/happy with it, 39% against and the rest undecided
Canada is easy mode if you live in cities,uruguay and Australia is normal mode (australia is not that bad,except there are some big spiders under your bed which aren't that big of a deal for Australians they're born like that)
Super interesting! My wife will be particularly interested in the tipping map, because she objects to high tipping in the USA. But both my wife and daughter were waitresses in the past, so they really understand this.
I'm glad you like it!
I think that Japan and South Korea should be moved down to normal mode because their intense working conditions, and California should also be moved down to normal mode because of how expensive it is there. Uruguay and maybe Chile should be moved up to normal mode because they have a surprisingly high quality of life. Portugal, Spain, and Ireland should be in easy mode. And, we weren't included in that map so I will just have to tell you where Antarctica would rank. Antarctica would be Dark Souls of Life.
Someone born in brazil migrated to australia, mid hard where im from to easy in australia

2:03 lol Tuvalu has a higher approval than Britain of the monarch
Stink bugs have been common in Kentucky for at least 50 years.
7:50 in Moscow and St Petersburg it is easy/normal
Well, lemme change some things : Russia and Eastern Europe are normal mode, France is hard mode, all of Asia and Arabia as a whole are Dark Souls mode, and tbh most of USA is either easy or normal
Now, everybody knows the truth about France!
not if you lived in belguim ,then france feels like peace of mind,wel if you stay away from paris that is.
@@athos5359 Paris is Dark Souls mode tbh
i love maps
As a Dutch person.. yes thats maybe the most true thing I ever heard
In my country (UK) a 10-12.5% tip is expected.
My country recognises Israel but I personally don't.
And I love maps.
We all know why Amsterdam has so many tourists 😏
5:04 can't possibly be true for Morocco and Algeria. In Morocco the population is about 2/3 Arab and 1/3 Amazigh, while in Algeria it's about 4/5 Arab and 1/5 Amazigh, but neither one is anywhere near 98% any one ethnic group. Meanwhile I'm surprised none of the Persian Gulf states are more than 85% Arab.
I love maps ❤🗺
Any kinds of maps… historical maps, linguistic maps, statistical maps…
West Virginia here. Everyone calls it pop in the blue ridge mountains and they all drink mountain dew. I've lived in New York, Florida, Wyoming, North Carolina, and West Virginia and New York was the only place where people consistently called it soda, everywhere else it was called pop mostly. West Virginia is the only place I've lived where they call your driver license your "operators"
Tipping in Poland is not expected and no one does it, it should be the light green category because sometimes there is no money to give you and you have to add in a extra 0,01PLN (which is like 0,003$) to round up the bill so they can give you the change
0:01 dinosaur
I love maps. In the US soda used to be called soda pop until the late 70s. I'm not sure why the Northwestern states dropped the soda instead of the pop.
They pay foreigners to avoid the Alabama Moment got me of guard😂😂😂
Love this video❤
I agree with the difficult mode map😭
As far as asia is concerned...
We say 'pop' in the UK - or at least in my part of England :)
You've colored Asian part of Russia as "Dark Souls mode" and Kazakhstan and Mongolia as "Hard Mode", but climate in Mongolia and Northern Kazakhstan is actually much harsher than in Southern Siberia - much colder winter and much hotter summer.
Amen! I came here to say the same 👍
I LOOOOOVE MAPS
as a moroccan, i wouldn't say its ""DARK SOULS OF LIFE"" but rather it's medium mode, if u were forced to be born in africa, the best country u could pick is morocco, or other north african countries, easier to emigrate to a better country like in europe (im not saying its easy but it is easier than most countries in africa).
7:37 Ireland looks like a mix between easy mode and normal mode
Michigan is actually very easy to live in I live there it's just cold
California has always been with soda yessir I live there 😎
2:20 i thought the Dutch loved their monarchy because of how they taste...
As a michigander, i can confirm im in the dark souls of life. Might cross the border to wisconsin for easy mode though
In France, it's no longer easy mode for at least 20 years.
As for the GDP per capita map, it's really not a good indication of prosperity in the slightest. It's already flawed by using nominal GDP in USD, but even then, measures such as HDI or poverty rate are far better indicators.
To answer your question about soda/pop/coke, yes we say pop in the midwest and yes people say coke generically in the south. It's a bit like how people here often say kleenex (a brand name) when they mean any type of facial tissue.
life in south america is pretty much dark souls everywhere
Taylor Swift has to touch grass, literally
Life is difficult everywhere in the world unless you are one of the few Billionaires.

Yah sure, anything else the government of Michigan wants you to say? Blink twice if you are in danger.
I think most of Europe is either Normal or Easy mode. No way Slovenia is hard lol, it's an amazing country with normal difficulty from what I've read about it. In Russia I'd make Moscow as Easy, rest of the European part normal and hard and others yeah, literal dark souls
Not all Siberia should be Dark Souls imo. There is Novosibirsk, a great city. And my relatives live pretty well here. So probably make South Siberia and Far East hard and more northern part Dark Souls
According to one of these maps, it appears that Brazil imported more African slaves than the United States and Europe combined. But today, no one holds her responsible for this, while the US and Europe are attacked incessantly.
120 million of the population, AKA 52% of the population of Brazil has African descent, the largest African population outside Africa is by far in Brazil, and overall, only Nigeria has an bigger population of Africans than Brazil.
main responsibles are the colonizers, no? they should be accountable for that too.
but yeah we as society have equity politics and on the way to improving them, because historical repair is necessary

I'm from Poland and it isn't really expected to tip here :) If you do, it's fine, but I know lots of people (including myself) who don't, and it's not considered bad or anything like this.
Because servers are paid their fair wages, unlike here in the US where they HAVE to rely on tips to make a living. They are paid less than the official minimum wage.
@@pawelzielinski1398 is it legal to pay them less than the MINIMUM wage? I guess you could start paying so little to everyone else as well. And I think tipping only makes things worse, as because of this, restaurants feel they can pay as little and it's fine.
@@anonymous161crew9 That's exactly right. Certain positions are exempt from the minimum wage law. So, for instance it would be illegal for you to pay anyone in your store or factory to pay less than the minimum wage for the state (or federal minimum, if you are in a state that doesn't have minimum wage laws), unless you own a restaurant - then it is perfectly fine for you to hire someone at $2/h as a server as long as they make enough from the tips to get to the minimum wage. In fancy restaurants in a big city that's not a problem at all. I have often left $40-$50 tips for a family dinner, but if you are working in a small diner in rural area it might be difficult to earn a decent wage on $1 tips that people leave.
@@pawelzielinski1398 you say it's perfectly fine to hire someone ar $2/h AS LONG AS they get to the minimum wage with tips. What if they don't? And how is it controlled?
@@anonymous161crew9 I don't know the details. I am not in a restaurant business.
But I assume that the owner has to file weekly schedules for the payroll and keep track of how many hours every employee has worked and how much did they earn from wages and tips. So, if the total earnings per week divided by the number of hours worked is less than the minimum wage the owner has to cover the difference. I believe that's how it works.
Every person legally employed in the US has to pay social security taxes, federal income tax, state income tax (in most states), Medicare tax etc. Getting the payroll done right is not an easy task.
Of course, if you work in the grey zone and get paid under the table than it's a different story, but this is technically illegal, and you will not qualify for Social Security benefits when the time comes. Of course, many people do that.

Everybody in the UK says 'pop' if referring to fizzy drinks.
In oregon, Soda is more commonly used, but if somebody says "pop" nobody bats an eye and everybody understands.
Life more difficult in Germany then in Italy? No way :)
I’m from Southern USA. Saying “coke” as a catch-all term for all kinds of soda has definitely become less common in recent years, but it would be something you are asked at an informal event. Nobody would say they want a coke and expect the listener to interpret that as a pepsi.
And if a person wants Dr. Pepper or Fanta would they say yes to a "coke"?
@@reineh3477 They would reply they want a Dr. Pepper to the question

3:07 In Russia, we rarely leave tips ( Most often only in Moscow and St. Petersburg )
Why is Michigan dark souls of life? It is very calm here, but I understand why Florida is dark souls of life.

- dine in, no service - 0$ - round up to 1$
- take out - 0% - round up to 1$
- delivery - 3$-10$ + 0-5% tip
I love rewarding people for their good work. I tip everywhere excluding japan or when directly denied. Guys in singapore take them and never reject!
according to the final map, I live in dark souls mode. love from usa
UK should be hard mode because of the high cost of living, inflation, housing shortage and high food bank usage, among a few other issues.
You're so spoilt
Compared to *Who exactly?*
UK is fine if you are at least 200km away from London
The final map is almost the least accurate map. The only part accurate is North Korea, Siberian Russia, and China. Canada is the country with the highest quality of life.
I disagree with Spain being normal mode... life here is pretty easy... the only "bad thing" is that salaries are not very high, but for the rest... weather, people, food, landscape, life approach... it's actually very easy to live here.
most people in europe have boring lives
7:41 gotta be a joke map. Australia being red? Sweden being hard mode??? And you can’t tell me that parts of Canada are harder to live in than Ukraine or Yemen. If Michigan is red for the reason i think it is, the water crisis only occurred in Flint, a city of around 30,000. I’m not gonna suggest any changes to this map, but those things i mentioned just make it seem wholly unrealistic
The fact that that 'life difficulty' map puts the difficulty for the entire country except for the US which is divided in states rlly shows how american that shit is
Why is Texas on hard mode!?
It's quite hot in the summer and lots of thunderstorms/orange size hail and tornados. Otherwise I liked it there. But very happy that I moved out.
@@pawelzielinski1398 the heat is great! It means ya can do activities outside basically year round!
Thunderstorms hail tornados? Hail is vary rare at least where i live here and when it does happen just go inside. Ain’t a problem no more. Thunderstorms really don’t happen that often here. And it’s perfectly fine when it does. Tornados here rarely ever affect you and when they do it’s vary rare and the affects are small. The chances that a tornado would actually really come that close to you are absolutely tiny and ain’t that bad even if all tornados in the world were concentrated in Texas.
No one Republican ever be happy to leave Texas. It really makes zero sense. Texas is better than anywhere else in the world!
@@Texan_christian1132 so you think.
I lived there for seven years.
I can assure you that there are better places to live than TX.
But yes, I still have sentiment for Texas.
The empty spaces in the west, beautiful mountains along the Rio Grande valley,
Gulf coast, big and modern cities that have been very nicely revitalized since the 90s.
And of course, I didn't move because of an occasional thunderstorm, but I am glad that I did.
But TBH I have never seen such a huge hail in my life like I saw in TX. There were hundreds of cars with holes in the windshield caused by the hail. The waiting list for windshield replacement was 3 months...
Also incredible flash flooding - the street turned into a river in 10 minutes. I have never seen anything like that before.
Once a tornado went through the neighborhood and my friends apartment was blown apart. They couldn't retrieve their belongings for a couple of weeks.
@@pawelzielinski1398 nah i know it. you just vary unlucky. 99% of the time it’s absolutely amazin.
