"New Hamp-shire. Sounds like a pleasant place" As a resident in New Hampshire, thank you spiff. It is indeed a pleasant place. Too bad you could never go there, since you have no idea where we are on a map

4:47 that little bit of Russia is actually due to an agreement after ww2 that Russia needs a European port that doesn't freeze over in winter. It used to be the city of Königsberg, but it was effectively leveled and the entire german population was driven out by the soviets. They have a lot of ports in the Baltic sea that worked wonders during summer months but struggle during the winter. It's too far to reasonably operate exclusively through their pacific ports because it is literally 10 time zones away from the vast majority of their population centers. They have a lot of ports to operate theough the Crimea and the Black sea but it's a little much to have to have all of their sea travel go through the Mediterranean and Turkey would be collecting a fuck ton of money off the canal and it would create heavy conflict of interests since Turkey is a nato country. Kaliningrad is the 4th largest importer of the 85 that exist in Russia. It is a very vitally important piece of land and Russia would probably be willing to lose the entire eastern half of the country before they let their port town go.
As a Minnesotan, I was surprised that he didn't know like any of the northern states neighboring canada, but then I remembered that I wouldn't be able to name a single canadian province with confidence lol
As another fellow minnesotan, I would also be able to name them since my school taught us to name all 13 provinces and territories at the same time as all 50 states
The only thing that borders canada that I can confidently say is detroit, and it‘s only because of Detroit Become Human. Still, I wouldn‘t be able to tell you which state it‘s in xD
Imagine Spiff goes to his honeymoon in "Scotland" and for some reason, he starts seeing waffles all over the place and hears people speaking french and dutch
One time our social studies teacher let us do this to get a ticket for a drawing our school would do and I won because I named every South American contries in 17 seconds and got a huge basket of snacks
It’s entirely because of Spiff telling that experience on stream that I will always know which one is Nunavut at the very least - someone from Massachusetts
3:29 kinda funny when you realize that two of the most ‘reoccurring’ characters in Spiff’s streams, Gregory and Roxy, are technically Slovenian (at least their VA is).
Played this religiously the last two weeks of school last year. I became a god at it, and I’m glad that even though a few months have passed I’m still cracked and beating spiff.
I take pride in being a European who spent first grade school breaks memorizing all of USA's states and can now pinpoint them all within a minute. I'm bragging and a nerd
The reason rhode island isn't an island is it was rhode island and Providence plantations with the many islands being rhode island and the mainland stuff being providence plantation but somewhat recently our official name was changed dropping providence plantation giving the longest state name to fucking Massachusetts
4:57 Spigg, if you mean “this is the island where Napoleon was BORN,” then you’re totally right. Funny how wrong you were and yet you still named Corsica, a totally different island, as having some association with Napoleon which it does lmao

chat being so baffled that a canadian doesn't know us states is crazy 😭 literally the only one i know is texas and i knew wyoming was one of the rectangles
We got taught all the countries & capitals in middle school in The Netherlands- and most cities + provinces in European countries. We didn't learn about Canadian provinces though, just the capital.
i also live in the netherlands but my elementary school just skipped teaching us when we were supposed to learn it, and my middle school assumed you already knew it... luckily my mom taught me instead because otherwise i would've had a hard time
It is with great pleasure that I can say that I got 11 of the 13 Canadian provinces correct after having not looked at a map of Canada in around 6 years. You did well with Europe, Spiff!
West Virginia is truly one of the great enigmas of US state names. Along with Rhode Island. West Virginia was originally a group of western counties in the state of Virginia that split from the state when the civil war started. Rhode Island was one of the original British colonies which would found America. I believe it got its name because the colony was based on an island but would later aquire territory on the continent. You just cant really see the island on this map. Don't quote me on the Rhode Island thing though. Its just my best guess.
It was till recently Rhode Island and Providence plantations with the multiple islands being Rhode Island and the main land stuff Providence plantations
If a European gets upset that an American can’t name or place many European countries, I’d love to see them name and place the 50 States. Most Americans can find Britain, Germany, France, Ireland, Spain, Italy, and Russia. Most Europeans can find California, Texas, New York, and Florida. It’s the same situation, it’s okay both ways. Everyone chill.
Counter point: I can pinpoint the US, I can pinpoint Germany, I can probably pinpoint Texas, New York and Florida, you probably can't pinpoint Brandenburg, Bavaria and Hamburg. Compare countries to countries, states to states and continents to continents.
Fun fact about Scotland, the geological composition is more similar to Canada than the rest of the uk due to the fact that they were connected before Pangea split
The Edmonton/Calgary slip made me laugh I'm from Alberta and take CONSTANT road trips with my family and I know this province like the back of my hand, especially the southwestern bit
Fun fact, some US states were literally bought for money from other countries. Alaska was bought from Russia for $129 million in today's dollars, or about 2₵ per acre. Sucks for them, since Alaska turned out to be very oil rich, the fourth-most oil rich of any state (Texas is number one, being so rich in resources that if it were its own country, it would be in the top 5 producers of oil, natural gas, wind, and solar, as well as ranking 9th in terms of GDP).
