No mention of the football team!! School boy error right there!!
If you haven't done Lichtenstein yet that would be cool. Did I spell that right?
A video on Monaco would be dope
And one year later...San Marino won 3 olympic medals, the first ones of their history, and by doing so San Marino went on to become the least populated country ever to get an olympic podium and it is the smallest one to get multiple medals at a single Olympics. They sent a 5 person team to Tokyo and 3 of them medalled! What a performance.
That’s gotta be the highest percentage of olympians winning a medal of any country
Wrestler outta detriot is reigning champ in his class i believe....
I'm from San Marino! Thanks for making this video, it's nice to hear people from other countries talk about our tiny republic.
Always wanted to visit. Want to ride the lift in!!
We were there in 1997. What a beautiful place!
@annalisa quadrelli - Yeah I agree it's nice to hear these UA-camrs do so much in depth research and then to present it in an open, honest, and very respectful way. What a beautiful place to live!

Its an amazing country went there last year when I went to Italy and loved it. I envy you for living there🤣
Been there. It is marvelous. In a strange way, when you are there, you can tell you aren’t in Italy. Somehow different. 🇸🇲🇸🇲🇸🇲 There is also a statue of Lincoln. They’re proud of the connection.
😇we are
@@giacomodevito9265 you're Sanmarinese? How can I contact you? I have many questions, haha
Yea Lincoln totally respected sovereignty....oh wait....

I absolutely loved San Marino! You can go to their tourism building and pay €5 for a fancy passport stamp, definitely the coolest one I’ve collected so far. The local moscato is so good that I split a bottle with friend and accidentally ran into a street sign and gave myself a concussion. It was quite the trip.
Napoleon Bonaparte to San Marino "I'll give you much of your neighbors' land as you want"
San Marino(Antonio Onofri): "wars end, but neighbours remain" no thanks but we'll take some wheat and a few artillery pieces.
One Waterloo later San Marino received wheat, no artillery pieces and no grudges from any neighbors.
«its»
@@hugolafhugolaf pardon my French
Outstanding move
That was one of the greatest things San Marino has ever done.
YEah Great neutrality! Up until UKraine....they broke tradition now...
The "My little Tony" cake story made me laugh out loud alone in my apartement.
I was there with you.
I think the world really did need that funny useless fact right now with the seriousness of the virus going about.
I didn’t find it funny. All I pictured was a little girl crying. Sure, it isn’t a big deal, but it isn’t even like the girl would get the reference. Of course, perhaps the parents got a new cake and she never knew. Still, wasn’t the best ending for an otherwise good documentary. (Sorry - lots of disappointed people right now so I didn’t really need to hear this.)
@@katherinegilks3880 lol lighten up.
@@alexl572Buddy, never in the history of lightening up has anyone done so by being ordered to do it. You're just being a jerk. All I shared was my personal reaction. If you found it funny, fine.
San Marino is well known to philatelists. One of their chief exports being postage stamps. When I was young before losing my entire collection in a fire, I had a specialty album chock a block with "Art on Stamps", the majority of which were from San Marino. Micro states are big on postage stamps for collectors.
San Marino, one of the spots I was supposed to go on vacation this year...
Trivia Night sorry.
Same here, except my long term girlfriend decided to break up with me for whatever reason amongst this craziness.
Pobrecito.
corona?
Cry me a river?
I traveled to San Marino on my last trip to Italy, and i have to say it was amazing. Such an amazing place and so cool to be at the top of everything and looking out over the landscape. Can´t wait to revisit it again
Its possible Italy wouldnt have unified if we didnt hide GAribaldi for a cpl nights as he was able to escape north from papal troops and unify italy
I remember a couple of years back there was a lorry transiting through san marino which was transporting two italian APC "tanks" and stopped there at a gas station...poor little San marinese thought they were being invaded
Similar situations have happened a few times in Liechtenstein. They were "invaded" by Switzerland a couple of times during military exercises, by mere disorientation of the Swiss soldier reading the map at the time.
No worries, Austria has military crossing in the past as well (ofc only UN mission because we are neutral). The only time someone was really thinking about using Austrian grounds as a shortcut (Serbs during the war in Yugoslavia), they were greeted by an Austrian tank regiment, so they decided it's not really worth the effort :-)
Yeah, and with the weak Sammarinese Armed Forces, they probably could easily be invaded
@@barfazoid5773 should they be worried about Italy invading? Lol 😆
@@tylerhill9510 Nah, if italy wanted to invade a microstate near them, they’d invade Vatican, San Marino has a way higher population than vatican, and SM has an Armed Forces while Vatican doesn’t. They’d be stupid to invade San Marino
I'm so glad you mentioned their Eurovision participation. Really hoping their entry this year 1) qualifies and 2) gets higher than 19th.
Well if they don't qualify in 2021 there is something massively wrong, they put alot of effort in this year and hope they get the love they deserve after putting that much effort in.
Man you are Hilarious! I went to San Marino in the early 80's when I was posted to Italy. Great place for a young American Paratrooper ... never drew a sober breath. Good times.
Good ole days...lol

The Republic of Dan Marino.
I was listening to this while driving so I heard my brain made it Dan Marino. Laces Out!
Finkel is Einhorn, Einhorn is Finkel, he found Mr Winky lmao
I had never heard of San Marino, until in 2000 when I happened to meet the San Marino Consul General to Brasil in (let's call it) a 'social setting' not far from São Paulo. Interestingly, he was apparently Italian and not even a citizen of San Marino. I can tell you though, he really seemed to enjoy his job. Pretty amazing that such a small country is able to maintain embassies and consulates around the world.
CHeck out Abraham Lincolns letter of congrats when he was bunkered down by jesuits lookin for answers....
Well, since you now have covered both Vatican City and San Marino, you now have to make a video on Lesotho (although it's HUGE compared to the others), if nothing else just to complete the trio.
Also: Surprised you didn't mention Massimo Bonini among examples of famous Sammarinese.
Part of my mother's family came from Luxemburg, which I would like to see. I stayed there for a couple of days on a trip to Europe. The train went through a huge fog cloud to get there and left through a huge fog cloud. It was nice and sunny in Luxemburg though. I'm not totally sure I traveled to the Luxemburg on our world or not.🤔
Paul Woida WHOOO HELL YEA HELLO BROTHER my family hails from the town of Medernach, and we share the last name of the city.
Visited in 1984 as a 12 year old, was awsome the drive up had full automatic ak47 weapons displayed in shop windows for sale. Still have novelty crossbow and mace (FULLY FUNCTIONAL) my father bought for me.
I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the idea of a _non_ functional mace.
@@absalomdraconis yea me too it's spiky solid steel on a chain with a wooden handle and it has not been nerfed. Yup was way less dangerous than what my dad played with. I can't wrap my head around that.
@@maizehawaii that's not a mace. A mace's head is fixed. There are a lot of ways to describe that correctly, but mace is not one of them.
@@jamesbael6255 my bad my fellow sentient being ; ) I too value accurate data exchange, Overwrite corrupt data with new data packet [001100mace01110
Have never heard of this place. Want to visit now!
Remember when Snookie got wasted in Italy went to jail..... thats where they were lol
San Marino is AWESOME. been there lots of times. it's the most idillic town/state i've ever visited. i would recommend a visit to everyone
Yeah, but please IGNORE that cringy vampire and torture exhibits, they are tourist traps!
@@FlagAnthem Noted! lol
there is always something to do in summer in Rimini, Riccione Clubbing at another level
The food sounds great.
2:47 the lack of a Grand Prix doesn't help either.
My gosh! I'm from San Marino and this video randomly popped up in my UA-cam recommendations🙈😆
la fat ben? no?
Now I need to go to San Marino. Maybe AFTER the Covid-19 crisis...
Ya, they’re the most infected country right now per capita.. Sucks! :(
If you wouldn't avoid it during flu season, then why during this bullshit crisis?
I live in Bologna, a city close enough to San Marino. Been there a few times. I have to admit it is a nice place indeed, had some good times there, definitely I place worth visiting at least once in a lifetime.
One of my favourite places in all of Italy is also near Bologna. That is the city of Ravenna. Such an amazing place. We never made it to Bologna. We went from Modena to Ravenna and stayed overnight in Rimini (don't get me started on that place 🤬).
My favourite citizen of San Marino is Valentina Monetta (singer who competed in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2017 Eurovision Song Contest)
Sorry but, Mortadella is NOT Baloney.
How dare you criticize our time honored tradition of making up stupid names!!
jose antonio lago bologna with pistachios!
I mean.. its pink... I cant eat wierd meat product... too wierd looking..
I was about to write it.
I visited San Marino in 2017. Wonderful people, and a very beautiful place.
Lol me too, maybe we where there at the same time.. i was shocked how many czechs and poles where there
I also went in 2017 lol had an amazing time 🥲
I was there in June
So, irony of ironies, I watched this episode today. Today, San Marino won their first Olympic metal.
The bromance between San Marino and Abraham Lincoln is criminally underrated.
yeah think when jesuits were gettin to him.. he reached out? like how the fck you guys deal with them?? lol
San Morina is a terrific little place, great cafe's interesting architecture, nice people and very pretty. They also have the coolest License plates of any country.
Love geographics, biographics,top tenz, business blaze, today I found out! All the channels are awesome!
Ghost of Luck visualpolitks?
@@fabcorp5174 oh I missed that one. Good catch! I love it as well.
The Faroe Islands would be a nice addition to your micro-state series.
Aren't the Faroe Islands part of Denmark?
All I knew about San Marino was the Imola racing track. That changed after watching this video.
That's part of Italy.
So basically nothing since the race track isn't located in San Marino
jayakrishnan b. The “San Marino Grand Prix” is just an excuse for Italy to have two Grands Prix”.
@@David-lr2vi and then Spain used the excuse of hosting a "European Grand Prix" to do the same thing!
@@sporkafife Spain also hosts 3 Moto Grand Prix.
Never thought I would hear Simon say “Pinkie Pie”
Can you do Lichtenstein?
Do Malta next!
I loved San Marino when he played football for the Dolphins.
Get ready for a night out or geographics 🤔
Geographics it is!!
San Marino and Andorra are two of the most beautiful places in the world
Excellent video. I regard myself as an amateur R.S.M. watcher after a visit there and I still learned from your piece. I'll watch some more and donate. Thx! D.A., J.D., NYC (but my heart is in Serraville!)

Hey man, love the videos! Keep doing what you’re doing its amazing, so many details are put into this video like how the background is a warm orange whilst your shirt is a cool blue, polar opposites yet; they complement eachother
Fun fact: As of " Pi Day, 2020, " San Marino has the highest per-capita CoViD19 infection rate in the world, at 0.23%.
People in San Marino died of coved most
@@angadgrewal7386 I'm sammarinese and I'm alive
I love your videos buddy. Have been watching them for years. This sounds weird but they have gotten me through some hard times. Thank you man!
You should do one on the medieval Peasant Republic of Dithmarschen.
I did my geo report on san marino in primary school! It was nice visiting it again, someday I’d like to visit it in person.
Awesome video!
Been there once as a kid. Would like to go back some day. The things I remember are the castles, the guards, a WW2 museum and shops filled with weapons for sale.
What kind of weapons?
@@toms6728 guns, swords and medieval stuff
You can't help but love a place called The Most Serene Republic.
What an informative and entertaining video! Thank you so very much! ❤️😊👍🏽
San Marino acting as a safe haven for refugees while acting like they were on board with the big scary countries is the acting performance of the century, its the combination of relative obscurity and general friendliness and flexibility that let them keep their independence, and its cool that they used those traits to help others in need, even though they have little to give and the risks if found out massive. I think I fell in love with the underdog scrappy mountain nation and excited to see them at eurovusion this year because who would have thought they would actually have a shot at winning?!? Underdogs through and through but thats what I love about them
FAstest Goal in Fifa Competion too lol
Freetown, Christania, Copenhagen, Denmark would be a fascinating video :)
Imagine building that Castle on that massive hill by hand. I just wish I could go back in time for a few hours just to see how things were at different time periods I think that would be really fascinating.
Slackers and unions didn't exist, that's for sure.
Have you seen the videos "the secrets of the castle"? They built a castle using only the materials, tools and methods available during the time period. It's a pretty fun watch IMO
@@morrigan191 no I haven't definitely gonna check it out now thanks!
Remember that they were totally rebuilt in the early 1900s
I like the music playing during the ad. Great idea sir.
What is probably the wealthiest community in Los Angeles, though little known even among Angelenos , is also called San Marino. Rockefeller scions live there.
I lived in beverly hills of SM ..... richest guy was a jeweler...Arzilli.... . Most jews were expelled in 1442....but still few there... Jews have found some recent old documents to submit to their database about their small community 600 yr ago
Never heard of this and it's simply the coolest when I get off work hop on to watch my favorite educator show me and teach me new things brilliant.🤙
Been there ('79) when there was a road race going on up and down the mountain. Loved it.
This was thorough and lively. This is my go-to for info on San Marino from now on. I’ve always been fascinated by the microstates. Thanks, Simon.
I now have to look up those pasta recipes. The food looks & sounds delicious
I'm from LATAM. Been living here for 30 years, and i've never heard of "an italian Elvis"...

Video on Eritrea would be very interesting. Another amazing historical video though great work guys
This episode is a roller coaster.
a very nice little country, worth the visit..they have VERY cool license plates too.
I'm digging the shaggy professor beard quarantine looks good on you sir
5:23 is GOLD.
A charming interesting and witty trip. Next best thing to actually travelling there!
Dear Simon,
I have watched so many of your videos and I have never been offended by what you have said until now. Mortadella is absolutely not the same as Bologna and shame on your sir for even mentioning them in the same breath let alone making that comparisson! I'm going to go cry now and pray for your wayward soul.
23:55 In other words, all of the "heavy hitters"...🤣🤣🤣
A rather interesting and historical micro state. Great job guys.😎
Tears of laughter over the cake.😂😂😂 Funniest fact ever on Geographics. ❤❤❤
Great video. Have you thought about a video concerning Nauru, one of the smallest republics in the world? Thank you.
how about a vid on Gibraltar? not necessarily a micro-state, but a micro-place indeed: a cross between southern Spain and England which you can traverse on foot within an hour, and a spot where you could casually walk through one of few British land borders. not to mention the rather interesting history and a landing strip that is also a road.
I went there around 30 years ago ! Beautiful
Thank you
You mentioned Liechtenstein and Luxembourg. Two great videos to make next!
The background music is beautiful but a bit too loud.. makes it difficult to hear the fascinating video. Love this channel!
Went there on a Sunday and almost everything was closed but it was beautiful. 👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️
That was a really interesting video,it is amazing what you can learn about the world around you no matter what your age may be. But ........???? in the first few minutes of the video presentation I just could get past the thought that i was being pitched a deal on some Time Share or a really cool vacation....lol . Any way just kidding about the deal pitch,,,couldn't resist...lol, it was a great video Simon,,Thanks ;-)
I really hope you’ll do a location from Ancient Greece. Maybe the Acropolis, or Delphi.
A very small mistake I noticed as an Italian. The king of Italy in the picture is not Victor Emmanuel II, but his grandson Victor Emmanuel III.
I noticed that, too. Plus, beginning at 9:51 Cardinal Alberoni never became a pope (Prospero Lambertini was the one who became Benedict XIV on February 6, 1740). Instead, what Alberoni did was invade San Marino on his own, causing the Pope at the time, Clement XII, to restore the independence of the country. By the way, I heard somewhere that it was Garibaldi who preserved San Marino's independence as a gift for sheltering him.
Simon!! I'm on this channel now let you know when I've watched all these ones lol
A video on Transnistria would be nice !
*The Chess RePubLic!!!*
I mean, all these videos are fascinating, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that this is my favourite channel because of Simon.
*No PoLice OFFicer Died from Any Injuries from Jan. 6, 2021 just FaKe News!!!*
PLEASE do a segment on the European microstate of Liberland ❗️Liberland has MILLIONS of supporters throughout the world, which promises high viewership.
I think you should cover both Monaco and Liechtenstein, before ending this superb series.
@Geographics Gotta do Monaco next! (since you already did SM, Lichtenstein, and Andorra)
YES! I WANT TO SEE MEDICI/BLASI 1320! Pretty please, with an in season fresh Royal Ann cherry on top! Thx!
Minute 11,24 : the man in the picture seems to be King Vittorio Emanuele III, not V.E. II. Great fan of your videos, professor. Double benefit, learning things+improving english . All my respect and best regards
Yet another well done! Definitely going to make a point of visiting here one day.
Also, anyone know the track they used at 00:37? Thanks in advance!
I would Ike to suggest Lesotho, Africa, as a focus of one of your descriptions.
One of the darkest was at the San Marino GP, when Ayrton Senna lost his life while leading the F1 race
the worst
May I recommend and exciting episode about The Mousetrap, where I-70 and I-25 intersect. It was torpedoed despite being in the middle of Denver, Colorado. I was out of town when it happened and had to explain the geography to various people.
Atrociously humorous. 👏 bravo and to all, a very good blessings with giggles
I've been there even overnighted up on that hill but didn't know the history.
Wonderful presentation! Franchise Geographics to make a video about Liberland ?
I was having a crappy night and you saved it!
Please do a video on the Republic and Canton of Geneva.
Can you do lake george, New York. It's near my home and it's been in the French and Indian war and revolutionary war. I think it has some pretty cool history and would make a good video.
