As a proud geography nerd my heart sank for a minute when I discovered I didn't know about the existence of a country.
+tyg I feel your pain.
+tyg it was an aplril fools joke
Suhas Das Hence his comment. He knows it was and April Fools joke.
same here I paused the video and searched it on wiki and discovered no results were to be found except his channel
I KNOW!! I love geography and I was so excited to learn about a new country I've never heard of before I was like this is so cool. Then I cried for 5 minutes
Bandia is Swahili for fake.
Terra is Latin for earth.
Well played
+R. von Kröhling pretty much all Romance languages use "terra" for land or earth
+R. von Kröhling ok. Thanks
+I Watch Things Romanian is somewhat of an outlier...
+R. von Kröhling Close enough, Romanian is a little "different" from its sister language.
Or land.
Ooh I just realized Bandiaterra literally means Fakeland.
Why did I find this out like 4 years later
@@kevinmendoza6386 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that one was too good
Also bandia ni kiswahili means fake or counterfeit
Bandia=fake in Swahili
Terra=land in Portuguese
Because Bandiaterra is invisible.
Why does Paul look like we are watching him on a 90s cassette tape
It's a clue about the video
Because we are

when he said it was fake I felt like someone stabbed me in the heart and I was about to cry
great description Lolo. I kinda felt the same thing
+ahmedaj2000 same here :(
+Diaa Yassin Same :(
Dude, a real geography junky knows that it had to be a joke!
+Alvaro Favela Dude, I am a real geography junkie. The rational part of me knew it was fake since the flag, but then everything was so well construed and plausible that the emotional part of me started believing it, and wanted to finish the video first and then to check everything on wikipedia.
And I felt stabbed in the heart too when he said it was a joke.
LOL
Greetings from Qitzikwaka.
My best friend is from Qitzikwaka. Hello from Bandiaterra
greetings from Patch Amberdash
I am from limberwisk, I live in a cabin near lake imeq, Hello!
I’m a 100 % real, not fake Antarctic person who totally exist and isn’t just from northern Sweden :)))))))
Not Here Hello, my name is Jackil Clомpaпje, and I cake to Qitzikwaka during the French immigrantion wave (he didn’t mention our people in the video though :/). Which city do you like live in??
2015: What a country
2019: DID I REALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS REAL🤦♂️
@Josh L what's wrong with it?
@@strawberrydaily3625 DID I REALLY *ThOuGhT* it was real?
That thought
Yes... yes you did. Why??? I did, ironically🤣🤣
Dude I realised this just know as my brother explained to me how much of a dumbass I was being.
1 was five in 2015
As a Dane i thought to myself..... Why does a...... i cant even get over the shock of somebody in the world speaking danish!!!. for 5 min. i really thought "OMG IM GOING ON VACATION THERE!" but now i feel like there is just a empty hole inside me...... it was like paradise....... a place where people actually liked that the danes changed the system..... though i started to have my suspects when you said King Frederik 7.... he was quite litterally mad..... But i gotta say that is the best played 1. april joke ever!!
Michael Nielsson HAHA!!! Sorry but I had to use the Danes as a decoy. You guys are delightfully obscure and untraceable.
So confused...
Geography Now Fair Enonough ;D but the most danes kinda have this national pride when somone not scandinavian mentions them especially when americans does mainly beacuse most danes have that idea (mostly for the fun of it) that Americans belive that Denmark is part of either Norway or sweden.
Btw i am really looking forward for the Denmark episode and if you need any help Just say the Magical word (rød grød med fløde)
Michael Nielsson Considering Danish/Scandinavian history they'd have to be pretty freaking stupid to consider Denmark a part of Sweden or Norway.
William Desmond Well thats simply Cool :D
My geography teacher showed this video to the classroom as a April fools prank
Same
Realy
What a savage
Lol
Yeah that definitely happened
Everyone talking about the "secret Danish and Portuguese messages" but...
*31st of June?¿?¿*
It’s because of time zones
Subtitles say July
@@CatkingO4 no…
@Tedison Chavez III no…
I was born in Qitzikwaka but now live in Bandiaterra.
I think we should create Bandiaterra
Sure, all we need to do is make some fake islands, hope we find oil off the coast of them, get some people to come, and change children's day to June 30th and some other stuff
Jonah Rosenthal *cough South China Sea
christian Hire the people of Bahrain to do it.
So, we need some chinese ppl to build islands in the sea(I know u guys are expert on it) and some Dutch ppl to teach us Dutch, just to begin...
christian im dutch
Hahahaha Bandia is Swahili for fake and terra is Portuguese for land
Therefore, it is “fake land”
SirGoomy soo that's one of the reson it's not reconise
This really is fake land
Are you swahili
You just looked on Wikipedia for that
@@fergalmurrayyoutube no. He literally says in the video. If you're joking, don't put me on r/woosh
Facts:These islands are real and located in Okinawa, the name of these islands is “八重山”.
So we can make this a thing
The Main Islands of Bandiaterra are named Ishigaki and Taketomi (石恒&竹富町) West of Taiwan (台湾)
Old Geography Now videos have the same energy as old VHS videos your teachers showed you thinking they were hip.
I literally went on google earth to look for this place, fml
Magnificent Speed same
I kept looking for AGES on Google Maps, and still when Wikipedia failed about the islands, I still didn't suspect a thing. maybe if I knew beforehand that it "aired" on April 1st...
Me too
Magnificent Speed hahahaha me tooo
Magnificent Speed look near tawian you will find it
I just realized that it said june 31, there is only 30 in june
Also the child prime minister's name translates to "This is not true" in Swahili.
@Doommagic actually it means "everything is a joke"in swahilli
+casey jason I used Google translate for it and that was the exact translation it gave me in Swahili. If it's wrong, then Google needs to correct it.
Doommagic NO PROBLEM,google doesnt know to translate swahili,it comes out really broken beyond understanding.
+Doommagic Huo ni utani
I thought there was actually a Danish Speaking country 😭
There is. It's called Denmark.
Gum Skyloard huh, Never heard of that place. Is it a colony of Bandiaterra?
@@jona7357 Nah, it's a colony of Limberwisk, but it has a huge Bandiaterran diaspora.
Gum Skyloard wow. Always interesting to hear about colonization. Denmark sounds nice.
Greenland?
Ahhh damn you Paul!!! I am sort of rewatching previous countries and forgot about these special episodes. Silly silly silly
Another Hidden Message:5:35 "Hvis du kan læse dansk du vil vide dette er en falsk sted" (written on the wall) means "If you can read Danish you will know this is a fake place"
Even I as a German can understand this
lol
5:35
Lasse B Echt?Ich konnte es zwar auch verstehen, aber ich lerne auch Schwedisch🤔
2117츄츄!!! Jeg er norsk ser det
This video had me like:
1. wait...is this a real country?
2. it's in geography now, it has to be
3. wow, this country is weird
4. ok I feel betrayed
This is Not a country PERIOD!

Fletcher Lucas You are not real
You got an honoury Bandiaterran here!
ArtTECH /Lo-Po 2.0 You are not real then. Nobody in Bandiaterra is real
QuarioQuario5432 wtf. Don't make fun of my country. I bet you're from a privileged country. You don't have to worry about a toddler running your country. Now let me farm my lavender in peace.
This episode looks like, barbs is a reporter in the 2000’s
he film with potato
I dont remember the video being cut down like this.
It's hard to believe that this is from 2015. The camera and aspect ratio makes it look like the 80s
This guy just successfully tricked and trolled every nerd on the planet.
I think nerds would be the only ones not to get tricked. As soon as I saw the name I knew it's April Fools stuff. *nerdy nerd*
Dylan Perris LOL RIGHT!!! I am a huge Geography lover, made it to state Geography Bee, and I was like WTF! I should know this!!
Dylan Perris Huge nerd here, majored in global business and took extensive geography courses and he got me
Talk for you.
Marco Traystand How? Why?
I. Cannot. Believe. I. Fell. For. This.
LOL
I realised in the prime minister bit
how come? coz he got it from the internet or something? i doubted if from the start coz i know barby loves fooling around but i still assumed the channel would be all serious stuff... gosh!
TheElixir007 SAME
TheElixir007 ikr
I was so confused and was speechless and when I got to the end I realized it was a trick
I’ve been going though Paul’s videos alphabetically over the last couple month and just saw this one today and thought, holy crap how did I miss one all the way back in the B’s!
Until this day, I thought Bandiaterra was real. After today's video I had to google it. You've successfully pranked me for 2 years. Congrats.
victoria maakulmamerijärvi that's longer than Reconia has existed! Woah!
Same for me . It took me 3 mouths realize it
Üfv
You're a finn! Moi mitä kuuluu
Same but only taught it was real for 2 weeks
I convinced my family of taking a vacation to Bandiaterra, and it worked 😂
Nice..:)
AWSMDEWD wow I can't believe thwy fell (like me😳😳)
And then the whole bus stood up and clapped.
AWSMDEWD Ayy lmao 😂
AWSMDEWD lol. well the country is fake
When I first clicked this video I was thinking, wow I've never heard of this country before ... But at the end of the video I felt betrayed it seemed so cool 😭
The camera is off but that is the old days when it’s just the beginning of a legend
The early Geography Now episodes look like theyre from twenty-thirty years ago not fourr years ago.
True
now its 5 years

@@ashaydwivedi420 nice, I've been trying to learn the language, but just can't get the thought out of my head that it's just whispers. Can u give me tricks on how to learn the language?
@@AdarshHari708 sure, there are a lot of language learning books out there for beginners. Search online for a pdf and you'll find a lot of great books :)
lol
Bandia means fake in Swahili and terra is land in Portuguese making it fake land. The pictures of the city where of Mauritius and the characters on the flag was Japanese. Also their is no 31st of June!
BongDa B You got everything right except for the characters….
BongDa B Bandia is a reserve 64 km of Dakar, in Senegal.
Was it scribbles?
+Lucas Hoffses it's their old language which the Japanese must of adapted
Purple Music it says "fake" it's not Japanese at all.
as a Dane i got so exicted and then stabbed......:/
me too! I was actually really sad when I found out this magical island doesn't exist :(
+Nikolaj Thor Christensen Samme her :/
Haha, I was already planning to spend my elder days on this magical island with my fellow Danes.. Such a shame :'(
I'm not Dane, but I am also disappointed :(... I loved this beautiful flag even if it looks quite weird among other flags :P
Bandiaterra is real.
Greetings from Qitzikwaka!
Same!
As a proud citizen of Bandiaterra (i live on terra) i would like to thank you for covering our wonderful nation and people. Come visit us anytime soon!!!
I got fooled half a year later. D:
Me too, and I watched this Video, MULTIPLE TIMES
Me too, and I've watched this video, MULTIPLE TIMES
I got fooled a year later
Nearly a year later...
We should all pull are money together and buy land and call it Bandiaterra just so Barby can do a video on it replacing this one and just when he posts the video we sell it off to a country. Now who is with me. I got $25 for helping shovel snow form my neighbors.
You made me love a country that does not exist in 8 minutes...
Yeah but how did he create it so real?? I mean i really thought of going there in future.
My county does exist
Hi from Bandiaterra
@@archanadandale238 oof its a real palce just not what he said lol its a real aprichalego but the culture and coutnry status and everyhting is a joke ahaha
This episode deserves a remake with the new graphics etc.
Remember watching this when I was 12, fell for it completely

+George Holt I know.
AndreVille Official lol
Thanks, I always wondered where tropical lavender comes from.
Why does it looks like a tv show from the 80's with the camera quality
Actually BANDIA means FAKE in Swahili... so the moment i saw the name i knew he's playing..
Ahaha didn't know. That is too funny
So, Bandia Terra means "fake land"
literally
Yep.
and Terra means Earth
Why did I not even know this country existed?
Name didn't ring any bell. Flag didn't ring any bell either.
(and then everything was explained at the end.)
It was such a nice history, though.
It's because it isn't even a country. It not is the Almanac or CIA World Factbook. I looked it up and the channel created it as an April Fool's day joke.
I was just about to ask about June 31st (the day the 4 year old was prime minister), thinking that maybe they have a different calendar (LOL!!) - I thought their flag had cool colors and fell for it!!
rataflechera it's fake
The video is 4:3 instead of 16:9, that's the first thing I noticed
I would love it if Paul uploads the USA episode on 1st April 2020.
5:35 all the signs on the wall together read, "If you can read Danish, you will know this is a false place." (I speak Norwegian, it's similar.)
Geography is love, geography is life.
YES
George Eid yes man mee too
Robert Gratto Just like Shrek
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, good to know about this country..
Greetings and love from Sovonthak.❤️
It's not even w conutry if you go to the end of the video he says APRIL FOOLS
Respect.. for the details that went into it and made fool of me.. even after 5 years and its not even April fools day.. damn you Barb
Bandiaterra:
Capital - Øtnæuetrę
Population - 2 Million
Languages - Bandia, Danish
People - Portuguese, Bantu
That Kid in Africa ikr
Now I feel sorry for all those Bandiaterrans who never came to exist D:
Ana Luz Garcia lol
Sad. A people, without a nation. 😢
I'm sorry and i apologise mean the same thing
Except here
Because i killed them (/j)
This has improved so much

If the multi-verse is true, there are infinite universes where Bandiaterra exists.

I would like your comment but can't ruin that glorious 69 ;D
Nope
I was like "Where the hell is Bandiaterra? And how come i havent heard of that country???" hahahaha
Even though I know it’s a joke. I still feel like it’s real. Paul is really good!

Omg I was gonna do the exact same
I managed to Google it before I found out it was an April Fools video.
L Galicki Band lol me too
Yup
I thought this was serious LMFAO and when my mom made me do an essay on any country from geography now I choose this one.
2:18
His voice cutts of for half a second
Great, now I want this to exist.
Let's fund it brah.
The prime minister's name "Kilakitu Nimuzaa" and the princes's name "Hiisi Kweli", Swahiili "all this is a joke" and "this is not true" . Well played guys!
Love from Vilanca! I can't wait for you to cover my country!
6:31 June 31st
(im danish) LOL i told my mom about this during the video suggested that it would be cool to go there on vacation. i was really interested. im sad now
I did notice the flag seemed odd with the asian style writing. I also was thinking y isnt this a major tourist destination with the black sand beaches. I was foresure it would have got slammed by the tsumani and that wouldve been mentioned. after all that I was still fooled lol!!
Aguila701 Yeah, March 31. I usually don't take that into account, but I will for next year. LOL
Aguila701 Who looks at upload dates before looking at a video...
Aguila701 I know how to do it, I was saying that no one actually bothers...
I was searching for countries on his A-Z list and I was surprised why this one didn't make it...damn, you got me Paul!
0:29 Actually not true, it’s three nations as Volanca has purple on its flag as well.
Greetings from Limberwisk
You forgot about sovanthak
Am I the only one who also imagines fake countries in great geographycal detail? Lol
+Andro A Not at all. I've been toying with a made up country of my own since I was like seven.
Tristan Lotz:D
I've been toying with the idea of an south East Asian/pacific naval superpower
Nope. Another here. I keep thinking of this Taiwan-Japan-Philippine-Korea Union in where this Union becomes a diverse country where they grow economically wealthy and succeed in rebelling against the Chinese. Of course I was only 8 that time..
+Andro A its my personal past time
I can't believe I actually fell for this! Hahaha well made video btw! Sounded too good to be true! Lol
ikr
and I have actually always been good at geography, so i was surprised that i'd never heard of this country. He did a damn good job fooling me!
I was like "Wait, is this a joke? Help me comments section" in the middle of the vid. Also, that is me, Igor
Also, when I saw the glowworm thing in the description, I was like ,"That's a New Zealand thing, isn't it"
+Mickjoey vblog I just noticed something, that map is new Zealand in reverse
Aaah yes, Bandiaterra, how could i forget it? My father's from there, and we even visited it! Thanks for covering it Paul, love from Limberwisk
@yadunandh Abhilash no its not, im speaking the truth, i can speak hush if u want
So glad that you talk about home country Bandiaterra!🤩🤩🤩
February 2016, I fell.
Same
+WhatTheHeck Me too (well in March), I'll catch it if he does another one in a couple of weeks though! I know all the countries, so I assumed he was including territories.
Same here >:( actually started looking up flight tickets during the video only to learn that apparently, it's a fictional island according to wikipedia... BUT I WANT TO BELIEVE BANDIATERRA, I REALLY DO

Bandiaterra is one of my favourite countries. I am very antisocial person but I find Bandiaterrians very kind and lovely and I have lots of friends that live there, mostly in the city of Øtnæuetrę. Actually all of my friends live in Bandiaterra.
The island of Fuerteventura also has a black beach. I’ve actually been there!
It would be cool if this was a real place.
StrickenWithFear yaeyama island
I was literally waiting for the video to finish so that I could look up the capital city on UA-cam and then you went ahead and ripped my heart out.
ikr :'(
You should do an episode on the historic country of Poyais!
The fact that this video is older than South Sudan.
South Sudan gained independence on 2011 and this video was posted in 2015
The name of the Prince and Princess is "this isn't true" and "everything is made up" in Swahili (official language of Kenya and Tanzania)
Really?! LOL that's great!!
