*Pro tip with the shapes of countries:* If you know the neighbors of a given country, you can try to guess their shape from the shapes of their neighboring countries - think of a jigsaw puzzle.

Czechia and Slovakia are easy to remember, since they used to be Czechoslovakia so they slot together easily. And they also slot into the gap in the bottom right of Germany
@@ryanjagpal123I knew all of these except for microstates and I haven't tried to memorize shapes before, it's just that I've looked at maps enough to remember them.

Hey Jack! For Bulgaria something that we're taught from children is that the outline kinda looks like a lion! I think your association of a bull works just fine though lol
tbh i did the europe click every country no outlines thing so much i know all their borders (except san marino, vatican, and montenegro) by heart lmao edit: i totally forgot north macedonia
@@nileprimewastaken I'd say North Macedonia is pretty easy if you know where the Bulgarian and Serbian borders are, Montenegro is a bit more tricky, but still I think not too bad lol. The microstates are a complete struggle though lol

Jack saying we remember Russia because this bloby bit. You literally have an entire geography channel and you can’t tell the difference from Russia or anything else
It’s understandable why you don’t recognize Poland at first. It’s easy to confuse a country with a speed bump. I’m sure the Germans and Soviets can help you with that one 💀 And funny thing you mention McDonald’s for North Macedonia, because there aren’t actually ANY McDonald’s there! They had seven of them there and all closed in 2013. SJ Company (the ones running the Macedonian franchises) lost their license (rumor has it that it was a falling out between the McDonald’s CEO and SJ Company) and McDonald’s has yet to return.
when i learned all the countries of the world, i found that i didnt even have to do things separately like this, i just slowly learned all the outlines of every country subconsciously. but of course that meant there was a tradeoff, and i didnt learn all of the flags of the world, but i think i know a good amount.
Tip for remembering finland, it was shaped liked a woman when we still had the stuff that russia got and now its a woman without a left arm or a left leg
i thought germany was one of those country shapes that everyone knew just because it has that spot where france just slides in spain france and germany were the 1st 3 i learned that was harder than like norway, italy, uk and others
I know half of these from seterra and worldle and I usually use historic reasons to remember them, like austria has a panhandle to reach germany and germany has a chunk taken out of it from the world wars

Can you please give links for the quizzes you do I really wanna try them out (Ps I already know all country outlines except for 1 or 2 in the Caribbean and tiny oceanic spread out countries like Micronesia and Kiribati)
I am from Czechia and it always seemed like some kind of whale or something 😂 also people say it looks like a bowl, but i dont see it, it is probably just bcs there are mountains all around. Also the two "horns" are iconic for its shape.
Im portuguese. We are the missing rectangle of Spain. Ahahaha. I once Saw a video where the guy Said that Iberia looks like a rubic cube if the person doing it Gave up before completing the two bottom left squares.
I was trying the ‘all country shapes’ quiz on Jetpunk and managed to get 70/196. I have to agree that the hardest part is that you have no idea the scale of the outlines. If they were scaled it would be so much easier.
i memorize the outlines of countries by trying to recognize the outlines of the neighboring countries in the outline of the country. This made it easy for me to remember Serbia, because you can recognize a large part of Kosovo in Serbia.
Bulgaria looks like a kitten playing (with its front paw raised) Slovenia looks like a chicken Romania looks like a puffer fish (I mean, for all of these you have to squint a bit, but...)
In finland, we call our country shape an angel. It has one wing, a head, a dress and hands. Go see for yourself and se if you can recognice it as an angel.
