Nope, I claim the entire world as my own, the map isn’t honoring my claim, and now it’s political.

RetrX are you saying that on everyone’s comment? I see it everywhere
You don't have control over any of it though

You missed the point. This map shows who actually controls the area, not who claims to control the area.

I absolute love listening to him talk.... Ever since, I have his notifications on all. 😁
10:07 Sorry toycat who in the world would ever consider that as purple instead of red?!
ikr toycat colorblind?
colorblind people
That looks like purple to me
@@iguicc youre colorblind
Yeah purple can mean red in eng sometimes if I remember correctly. Theres a color called purpure, that can be said as purple too. And its more like red than actual purple.
Ps. I could be wrong tho
Upd. Googled it, most popular name for this color is magenta. In Russia tho we call it "пурпурный" - purpurny, which is basically purpure. Or I am just overthinking it and he's colorblind

9:12 actually, someone had an AMA who lives in Crimea. They said nearly everyone they knew wanted to be a part of Russia, and Crimea was basically unofficially Russian before Russia officially took over. The traditions and language were all Russian, and the people related more with Russia than Ukraine. It was a very interesting AMA if you didn’t see it.

Sealand isn't on the map which is disgraceful
Sealanders rise up
I think when it was occupied there would have been a good argument to have it on this map as it's not really any different to any other occupied place shown but I think the platform has now been abandoned.
Does that mean I have lost my lordship
I've been to both Kosovo and Transnistria. I consider the former a full-fledged country, and the latter a cute little breakaway republic that really belongs to Moldova. Explaining why would likely take me at least 15 minutes to do it justice, which may explain why we so seldom talk about these things!
I love this! My stance is that ‘de facto’ being a country is the only proper definition of being a country. This amazing map shows all these places properly. Can’t wait to explore some unrecognised territories some more!
they are like parents, lying for safety
More often than not lying to maintain control.

Everyone has their opinion here, u can say its not Serbia and just keep spamming it to everyone who thinks differently. So ye everyone has their opinion
You should do a video on the mysterious "Tartaria", which is present on many old maps, and has a bunch of people thinking it used to be a huge entity to be stamped out of history
Also “hy-brasil” off the west coast of Ireland, it appeared on maps for hundreds of years
Genuinely love the long map videos. I always watch when i get into bed after a long day and i find it weirdly relaxing and it gives me a funny 'brain tingle' i call it.
So you must continue them to make sure i have my nightly brain tingles!
Same here. The only disadvantage is, that I'd like to close my eyes and just listen, but listening to a talk about maps kind of requires looking at a map that is being talked about. 😀
If the "owning" country needs to acknolege (sp) the break-away country with a treaty then does that mean the US wasn't a country in 1776 but 1783 with the Treaty or Paris.
It depends on your point of view.
@@lincolnlog5977 The same goes for many countries that declared independence after WWI in 1918 but were recognized in 1919. Officially they became countries in 1919 despite the fact that their governments had already most of the territory under control and de facto functioned as countries since 1918.

i used to watch this guy's minecraft videos when i was a kid but now i'm just sticking around because i find geography interesting
Love your videos! Keep the great work up!
Thanks so much!
9:05 They did have a referendum on Crimea. Some claim it was staged some say it's legit ... but it's basically the same situation with Kosovo
this is definitely more accurate than any of the politicized maps. they should make a list of countries in existence according to this map. that's something i searched for for quite some time
I was honestly expecting this to be about map projections and the whole thing about how trying to depict the curved surface of a 3D object on a 2D surface introduces inaccuracy to the shapes and sizes shown for landmasses, but no, it's politics.

You managed to not start a war about kosovo, weirdly enough, i think the majority if serbia has just accepted the fact that kosovo is more or less independent now
Just wait, any moment now the Serbian army will be alerted to the video. I was literally on r/askreddit yesterday and someone just mentioned that they lived in Kosovo. I swear the entire population of Serbia angrily replied to him.
@lizard ledgend I’m now picturing the entirety of Serbia on one giant group chat, and someone just going on it saying
“I FOUND A SOMEBODY WHO SAYS THEY’RE FROM KOSOVO LETS GET THEM” and then just giving a link to the post
So you think Serbia should accept that a region that was a center of its state, full of cultural history/legacy is now a separate country ruled by a drug cartel? Should it also let them finish off ethnically cleaning the region from those Serbs that are still living there? Should it also let them destroy medieval churches that they didnt burn in the last few years? And do you think Serbia should let them rewrite history and let them claim it as Albanian?
@@DelijeSerbia look, i am not saying that i am a fan of that, i am just stating the facts because the country, like you kind of mentioned, has its own goverment, and has made borders with us, so technically they are kind of independent... When i visit my relatives in kosovo, i have to go through a border check just like with any other country, same with leaving... Again, im not saying that im a fan of that, but i am not a fan of the rest of our population just constsntly scouting out people mentioning kosovo and just bombarding then with comments about kosovo being serbia, because it does not help whatsoever, it just makes people hate us more, and side with kosovo's independence more
@ოფლიან დიკ and sad, because even i am getting sick of it, and lets not talk about foreign people who more or less think were a terroristic nation that kills anyone who dares enter it, because this helps it even less

5:35 I was not aware that such a part of Mexico existed. It may refer to some towns controlled by EZLN (Escuadrón Zapatista de Liberación Nacional) or another group like that, but as far as I'm aware of, that is still Mexican territory where the government has some sort of influence.
I'm surprised by the size of it though.

7:25 The idea that 'might makes right' isn't a thing is a nice idea, but at the end of the day it all comes down to subjective international recognition. If Germany invades the Czech Republic and the rest of the world recognises that as being part of Germany, then hey presto, Germany got away with it. Same thing for the PRC annexing Tibet or Israel annexing the Golan Heights or North Vietnam annexing South Vietnam. 'Might' can be used to change a de facto situation, and the biased, subjective nature of de jure international law often then accommodates this. Case and point; when in 1979 the USA de-recognised Taiwan in order to recognise the ascendent PRC when it became geopolitically advantageous to do so. It all depends on the subjective interests of the third-part observer nation, and basically nothing to do with 'justice'.
