Didn’t know I was born in a top tier spawn location. But I got to admit it’s rather nice here.

Ah yes, 'tiny city areas' like Berlin, Prague and Hamburg

I can't wait for the high speed rail between Mongolia and Chile to be completed. They really should have gotten that done a long time ago.

"We live in a world that is very big" Thank you Toycat

"you can't call a place unfriendly if you don't recognize it" The implications for Taiwan here are quite interesting

I'd say the 4-5 PM time of eating dinner in Norway is about right, however it's usually not the last meal of the day, as we have another meal in the evening, usually something simple such as bread with pålegg. If allowed to extend, a more reasonable timeframe would be more like 4-6 PM though.

Baden-Württemberg represent. Honestly judging from some of the villages and roads here, would have never thought it's a top tier spawn location.

4:45 Why is the Czech Republic on the list? Lemme explain. Last year, the government of Czech Republic either reopened or kept investigating a case of an ammunition warehouse explosion. Based on what they found, they claimed involvement by the Russian state agencies and expelled all Russian diplomats. Now, I don't know how legitimate the claim was since it wasn't big news outside of Eastern Europe, but considering diplomats were expelled, the evidence must've been serious to do such a move. After that, Russia retaliated with that list and the Baltic states sided with the Czech Republic and also expelled Russian diplomats.

South Tyrol: To this day majority German speaking region of Italy Toycat: Italy is understandable, they were robbed of South Tyrol

6:24 my grandmother on my mom’s side is Hungarian so my mom visited Hungary in the 90s and she said that a lot of Hungarians apparently really miss the days of Austria-Hungary, so I’m not too surprised to see their statistics are high on this map

This guy seriously has a passion for geography, you can just tell.

4:46 Czechia blamed Russia for explosion in 2014 at an ammunition depot in the town of Vrbetice, previously thought accidental, but it was set off by Russian agents. (Some of the ammunition was destined for Ukrainian forces fighting Russian-backed rebels.)

8:20 in sweden dinner is not the last meal, we usually have 4 meals, one on late evening right before bed

We all had a bit of a laugh here in Taiwan when Russia basically recognized our sovereignty by putting us on that Unfriendly Countries list. Thanks for that, Pooty, good luck smoothing that over with your handlers.

Western Australia is represented in such a way because almost all of the exports/resources come from there, namely oil and such, so they benefit a lot from lower prices across the board. The rest of the country tends to benefit from them when it comes to $$$, only thing is, they tend to be really arrogant about it in return, and honestly, behave like they're their own country or something.

"What's with 67% , Hungary?" "Which country do you want to claim?" look up the treaty of trianon

8:55 i live in Finland and i wouldnt call the cold exhausting, I rather call it refreshing

its kinda funny how video game terms can be used in real life, like lore = history, spawn location = birth location, and yeah

0:45 Oslo (HDI=0.975) and Ljubljana (HDI=0.952) aren't included! 14:22 Lithuania, not Latvia! Appreciate the video though, covers very unique topics which aren't talked about much!

These maps are amazing and can transform people like now these maps made toycat think

as a minnesotan, we're just happy to be on a map for once

This map makes me appreciate my spawn location so much more, seeing that it is in one of the blue parts in Germany, while also noticing the white/blue proportions

"Go to an unfriendly country, today" was genuinely hilarious.

I feel very lucky to call Western Australia home, but I feel like it is still a very large, diverse region to say it’s entirely top tier living. Our resource industry definitely props us up significantly. It’s still only 2 million people living in an area bigger than most countries, hell even our capital of Perth, and the more developed area is still a bigger area than some countries.

Honestly I'm loving the western Australia/Perth rep we've been getting from you toycat. I always get so excited when we get remembered and recognised for the uniqueness and coolness that is WA

Czechia was on the enemy list earlier than most, because of Russian agents blowing up ammunition depots, killing two employees, in the south-east part of the country, and Czechia actually investigating it.

Hungary makes sense as most of that surrounding land used to be part of the Kingdom of Hungary, which was twice the size of the current nation

8:21 Well dinner may be the last full meal of the day but at least here in Finland we usually eat something after 7 or 8 pm, it's called "illallinen", loosely translated as evening meal (though more often it's called "Iltapala" which sounds less formal and might translate closer to snack than a meal). However, I skip the evening meal, since I'm on a kind of diet that I don't eat anything between 6 pm and 8 am, so I have my dinner just before 6 pm.

8:30 interesting how in America there’s not a usual dinner time, except that it’s considered after 4 and before 10. On holidays dinner can be eaten around lunch time

The reason, why Czech Republic was on the list of unfriendly countries from 2021 is: Some Russian agents blew a warehouse and killed some Czech people. So our goverment expelled some (a lot of) Russian dimplomats for reason "being an agent/spy" and thats how we got on that list. I hope I explained it well.

you mixed Latvia with Lithuania :D as a Latvian, I needed to point this out lol. Great video!:)

2 russian spies blew up an ammunition warehouse in Vrbetice in 2014 and recently it has been found out that they did that and Czech Republic expelled Russian diplomants. Thats why they put us on that list.😁

And here I am in the south of Europe (Greece), desperately waiting for this long winter to be over! The cold not only exhausts you physically and psychologically, but also economically, with natural gas prices skyrocketing.

As a west Australian can confirm it is very easy to grow up here and live a comfortable life, and even the worst suburbs of Perth are relatively safe especially compared to the bad suburbs of other cities

12:04 “Kalenji” is a running shoe brand sold at the sporting goods retailer Decathlon. Similarly, they also carry hiking gear under the “Quechua” brand, named after another indigenous people from the Peruvian Andes. Are they paying tribute to these ethnic groups, or is it pure coincidence?

15:40 I picked some random coutries from the map and looked at the Wikipedia page "Prostitution statistics by country". It describes the number of prostitutes per 10k population. From Compleatly Legal I looked at Germany 37, Netherlands 15, Austria 34 and Greece 9-13 . Average: 23.75-24.75 From Partially Legal I looked at Italy 10, Poland 5 Portugal 27 and Dennmark 11. Average: 23.25 From Partially Illegal I looked at France 5, Sweden 3 and Ireland 2. Average: 3.33 From Completely Illegal I looked at USA 31, Croatia 50 and Lithuania 3-10 Average: 28-30.33 I also found that only about 200 woman are legally employed sex workers in Nevada which I neglected since the nationwide total is estimated at 1-2 million So apparently being partially illegal discourages it the most, while being completely illegal encourages it the most

8:30 the simple answer: In Norway dinner is usually not the last meal of the day

8:50 as a german, if I eat a dinner at all, it is usually between 8 pm and 11 pm

I'm from Baden-Württemberg, Germany and this makes me very grateful ☺️

14:20 and 15:18 mixed Lat and Lit.

4:40 They blow up our ammunition storage and so we deported their ambassadors 😀 that's how we become "enemy state"

3:40 now I'm not sure why there is a big sea from Croatia to Belarus but I bet Finland and baltics would love Russia to be a sea away lol

In Norway we eat dinner right after work, and then we eat "kveldsmat" (evening food) right before bed.

8:40 the reason why its 4pm in norway and finland is because dinner is not the last meal of the day here. it has nothing to do with daylight. we eat an evening meal 4-6 hours after dinner kinda like breakfast but just in the evening. i think the official name is a supper.

I was born in western australia and I'll say its a pretty nice "spawn location"

0:48 Mate, allow me to cut your 'Western Australia' region down to size for you...because your map is including a lot of desert land and uninhabited areas. 'Perth' City is the area you want to focus on

Thank you so much for your videos!

from norway here. and honestly reacted when you said dinner is the least meal of the day, as i norway, traditionally we allso eat an evening meal, and allsoo feel like menioning, for older genertions, dinner is often at 3, and then an evening meal at around 9. so felt it was a bilt bold of you to assume dinner is the last meal of the day everywhere xD

In the nuke map apparently there are several giant lakes in the middle of Europe now.

Hongary believes that the old austria-hungarian empire was their rightful territory that was taken from them after WW1 and the tradition keeps on. Also slovakia believes there is a part of ukarine and hungary that belongs to them (hungary just because of the tensions, the end bit of ukraine was originally on the map, splitted somewhere around WW2.

In Portugal are open from 12h-15h and from 20h-23h/00:00h

I never expected Minnesota to be the best places to live on the world!

I come from Perth WA so when I saw WA highlighted in the thumbnail I just started cheering

I'm a bit confused that it seems like Helsinki is not among the "good spawns" in Finland, unlike other cpaital cities (it seems the blue is a bit more to the west), and I would have expected more Finns to lay claim on the Russian Karelia.

This channel is pretty underrated!!

@5:50 this does mean Russia recognises Taiwan as a souvereign nation

does this mean Toycat has never thought before this video

14:26 that's Lithuania, not Latvia

The rapid and chaotic movements of the maps in this clip makes me feel like a cat following a laserpointer.

8:30 I live in Norway, but my family migrated from Germany when I was only 2. My family and many families I know don't eat dinner that early, though of course many do yes the map does not lie. In my family we eat dinner around 7-8 pm tho.

Hungary had some land given to literally each of its neighbours. check out "Why Was Hungary Punished So Severely After World War One?" from history matters.

7:40 Surprised you didn’t mention Trianon for Hungary

What scares me is I live in one of these dark blue areas in ireland lol.

4:40 We basically just found out that Russian agents blew up our military warehouse in Vrbětice, where several people died and caused terrible damage to the environment, so we were so "rude" that we said it wasn't very nice of Russia and Russia should pay for it.

XD I love how the Netherlands is on the "% who agree "there are parts of neighbouring countries that really belong to us"". Wallonia should indeed be ours🤡

1:45 As a Dutchman I am very disappointed that you named the entire highly populated area of the Netherlands just "A few tiny towns across Europe"

Norwegian here normaly eat dinner at 3pm-4pm on weekdays and 2pm-3pm on weekends. Though it can happen we have it anytime from 11am to 6pm. Somewhere from 4pm to 9pm on Christmas and around newyear if we have fanzy dinner that takes time.

Very happy to see the act in there, after living there for years I can confirm it is an amazing place to live in.

I find it funny how he didn't even talk about the Balkans when looking at the claimed territory map. It's kinda just par for the course. Surprised Serbia isn't on there though.

10 maps that make me think => 10 maps that raise serious questions I see what you did there 😏

As a norwegian, I didn't know that people ate dinner so late everywhere else until pretty recently. The norwegian word for dinner is "middag" which translates to midday. If you go back in time a few decades, you would find that this actually lined up with it's name, we used to eat dinner at 12, the middle of the day, but as time passed it got shoved back further and further until it became the first thing you did after returning home from work which usually happens around 4-5 pm. We do however have another meal later on called "kveldsmat" which translates to evening food, so dinner isn't even the final meal for most norwegians

Intressting. I had no idea my country (Norway) is the only with that dinner time.

7:30 you dont know? search for "hungary trianon map"

Russia threatening to use nukes in Ukraine shows just how inept Russia is. The USA didn't threaten to use nukes in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Balkans, Central America....

Dinnertime: dinner does not mean the same thing to everyone. Generally, the largest meal of the day. Not necessarily the latest before bed. In the nordics there is traditionally an evening meal/supper, after the dinner. Because daylight ends before the evening activities/evening work, and because the general belief is that you should not go to bed on a heavy stomach. The evening meal is a lighter meal.

Great video

6:45 We had Transylvania, southern part of Slovakia, northern part of Serbia, and a bit of every neighboring country, to this day it is a national tragedy the Treaty of Trianon, cause they did Hungary strategically so the big cities would remain in other countries and instead of just moving the border by 10km in most places and not having millions of hungarians having to move to Hungary, because of the discrimination their new countries applied to them. I have to add that in those regions the majority were hungarians.

Wow, I guess I'm really lucky to have been born in Canberra then. Idk if happiness was included in the calculation though because Canberra is full of public servants and from what I've seen they tend to be pretty miserable lmao.

New video, nice!

7:35 hungary makes sense as it could be southern Slovakia, Carpathian Ukraine, Vojvodina and what I think is most important Transylvania

4:40 : Why the Czechia is on the list of enemy countries? Two Russian agents basically blew up the Czech munitions depot "Vrbětice" (2 people died there). Czech investigators found out who is responsible for that, the names and photos of the perpetrators were published, Russia was accused of it... And Russia's reaction was: "no, we certainly didn't do that, why are you lying" and put the Czechie on the list. :)

WA let's go

Can you link to the mentioned websites and figures in the video in the description?

This channel never fails to surprise and entertain, keep it up.

About the 2021 Russian unfriendly list: Back in 2014 Russia blew up an amunition werehouse in Vrbětice, Czechia. In April of 2021 this info was made public by the Czech goverment which resulted in some political tension between the two parties.

I find it weird that Turkey is not on Russia's unfriendly countries list although they're a part of NATO

1:44 the "few other tiny Towns and cities" are from left to right Hamburg and Berlin in Germany, Prague in the Czech republic below Berlin, and the island of Bornholm belonging to Denmark in the Baltic sea by the way

*Nooo,* don't make this the last video!! we need this!! Anyway have you heard of the Scott Hall Farm? It is between two motorways cutting it off in a curious way.

I feel like Dublin is a questionable pick, I hear that people are super unhappy about the housing situation.

BJs r us 💀

I luv these vids

7:33 my guess is probably Transylvania as Romania and Hungary constantly fight over it

i like your video because i feel like you are unbias most of the media is bias to western country

What do you mean: "why is Hungary Angry?" Literally half of Hungary has been stolen after WW II. Most of its stolen land is in Romania as you guessed correctly but also a lot in Slovakia and smaller bits in Croatia and Serbia (not 100% sure of the last one).

Those dinner times in Scandinavia can't possibly be correct. Don't think I've ever even heard of anyone having dinner before 6.

Actually I've already thought before I watched this video how good it actually is to live in such a nice place like Baden-Württemberg.

Toycat, ahhhh, please learn to differentiate Latvia from Lithuania. Heres a simple way to learn it. Lithuania is the one that had a glorious empire that was then ruined by the p*lish, so they will be closeer to p*land. And Latvia was the cool friend of Lithuania that was controled by german knights so now they sound funny, but they also a bit north too. I hope this is helpful

20:20 Actually, you can't cause Ukrainian and Belarusian air spaces

0:36 Now what the heck are we doing correct here in Minnesota that Canada isn’t doing? Uh… I guess I’ll take this win with me…

Praising juggernaut cities like Berlin, Hamburg and Prague shows that your index is wrong. I will stay in my healthy and calm rural area. Only 70km away from Berlin but a complete different world.
