Toycat when we colonize Mars: This is the weekly series where we talk about earth, mars and everything in between

*"Whereas Belgium also takes eight"* *Me: Wait wait wait what did you call Germany-*

"Belgium also takes eight (flags)." Sure, honey. Sure.

czech and british humour are very similar, and your humour is exactly my kind.

You think the Austria-Hungary fact is crazy? What about Russia connecting Norway and North Korea today.

"I would argue that the Western part of of the United States was colonized by the United States not europe you know... they took Spanish land"

Mildly interesting fact: You can sail in a straight line from Ireland to New Zealand without hitting any land or other countries. But not to Australia, as Antarctica is in the way.

"Belgium takes eight flags" WAS SOLL DAS

About the Bermuda thing, there's that trend to show borders of countries with more and more edges. Sweden with 3 edges would just be a triangle, a weird banana with 10 edges, but with 500 edges you would see a lot of details and recognise it as Sweden. Bermuda triangle is just a triangle, so it looks the same no matter how many edges (or lines in that case) you add

6:36 toycat calling Germany Belgium :P

Toycat is yes because he acquiesces to his viewer's demands that he make the "and world and stuff" hand gesture.

13:23 never heard Toycat laugh/wheeze so hard

9:10 Toycat turns into Tom Scott for a second.

4:40 the truth about the Louisiana purchase is that Napoleon thought that if he did not sell the territory the American would have just taken it by force and he couldn't deal with a transcontinal war. Alaska sale is the same thing, the Russian knew the British would just take it so they sold to a then ennemy of the British, the USA.

I don't need 26 maps, I just gotta look at one and I'm like "Mhm, yep. That's a bird's-eye view alright!"

"eastern/central europe" Czechia subs go down my 100%

A straight line from Ireland to Australia would go through the Earth's core. Now I'm wondering how many countries would be on it if you drew the line of shortest surface distance; is it the same as the straight line on the map? And what's the smallest number of countries you could get on a great circle segment?

Czechia is a small countryand and noone really talks about us, so when someone mentions czechia we are all curious.

Fun fact every US state has a straight line as part of its border besides hawaii because it's an island

relative to sudan which country would need the most modifiers? and, therefore, which independence movement are we to fear the most?

I only discovered your channel last month, but I have been enjoying the content. Listening to you talk about geography-related stuff for hours is good while I work.

This is the most underrated channel about geography with toycat

I only recently found the second toycat channel, but now i almost prefer it to the main one. Also, i like how you said it's narcissistic of foreigners to watch videos about their countries - it totally is, but in a good way. Anyway, stay safe and happy holidays!

r/MapPornCirclejerk is like exactly my kind of humor

Why did you just randomly start talking about my country, Czechia. Please don’t do that. I have suicidal thoughts after the Czech joke please

13:22 Ever wanted to hear Toycat wheeze?

Toycat: "Biggest city in Europe is right here" *points at London* Bruh, have you ever heard about cities like Moscow or Istanbul?

7:06 If you Combine the Vatican City and European Russia, It is bigger than European Russia.

Fun fact: Liechtenstein almost bought Alaska

The 5 to 500 edges is a reference to some popular posts on reddit where someone made maps of countries from 5 to 500 edges, so it became more and more defined

So someone actually went through all the trouble of naming countries relative to Sudan and they did NOT rename the Arabic countries to "Middle East Sudan"? 🙂

"I'm just gonna milk the internet for free content." At least he's honest.

6:36 did you just call Germany Belgium?

Love these videos dude, so funny and informative at the same time, works really well!

25:59 it's a joke on the popular trend from that time, making maps with more and more edges being added in a single post. Here the joke is that it's the same

The UK would be a really good addition to Iceland

My main takeaway from this video is that sending a private chat to toycat is a waste of time

I checked this video out of curiosity, to see what’s happening on your second channel, but I decided to stay. I really enjoyed listening to this, it was very pleasant, interesting and entertaining. I have expanded geography in school and this was a nice and out of the box view on the boring stuff I have to learn daily. Also merry christmas, greetings from Poland.

1:58 wow thanks for the shoutout Toycat!

1:06 I love how there is just a random panhandle 😂

I'll have you know I was laughing it up when you were reading out the Sudan map. Great video as always my guy :)

i’ve seen so many density maps that i looked the one for my country up and i now know that i live in the least populated area of my country

20:05 as a chilean I confirm

11:00 New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Delaware, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Alaska and Hawaii are the nine left out

You might be able to cut the way to Australia even shorter by going through Rhein, Main and Danube. You'd have to sail around Turkey a bit, but it might be shorter.

I am czech, a long time subscriber, and this chanell is like a Fun with Flags comming to life, just better!

17:20 "Cultural victory win, I think you'll find" ... My grin spreads from ear to ear.

the second half of this video is good and off the rails. good ol rambling toycat. great content genuinly

0:51 when you realize that belarus got the Namibia strip😂

I really like this kind of video its almost like a stream

“A state between Virginia, Maryland, and NY” Pennsylvania: Am I a joke to you?

Yay another mappporncirclejerk video! I first found the sub through your channel lol

1:37 the Western Australian border is NOT totally straight. Where the border meets with the Northern Territory and with South Australia, the longitudinal part of the border with the Northern Territory is about 200 yards west of the longitudinal border between WA and SA.

This is the channel I never knew I needed

0:33 alright that's something to be noted for the toycat youtube poop

9:56 We agree that the US is part of North America and Hawaii is one of the US states, but --- we certainly do not think this certifies Hawaii as part of North America. It's an island chain in the Pacific Ocean. (If you think you're confused now, wait until Puerto Rico and Guam become states.)

That western australia border line isn't perfectly straight it has a small kink at the tri point border and it mildly infuriates me

Never had notification right when the video was released.

Randomly recommended this video, good job m8

Hi im early and Belarus has a panhandle so thicc and long like a glizzy

22:35 WHOA PEOPLE LIVE WHERE PEOPLE LIVE!!!!!

Going along the 49th parallel isn't the shortest distance because the only parallel that is also the shortest distance between two points on the globe is the Equator. Everything else, you should curve (as seen on a flat Mercator-style map), to the north in the northern hemisphere or to the south in the southern hemisphere.

2:23 so why are scotland, england and wales still together?

The US tried to buy Greenland recently

yooooo!!! map time!!! map time with toycat!!!!

10:47 I am far from American but I see that New Mexico, Pensilvania, Nebraska and the Dakotas are missing

In the contiguous 41 you forgot about New Mexico (only noticed because the 4 corners and Oklahoma is not a part of that) also north and South Dakota

14:50 England is good for domination victory, royal navy dockyards plus the venetian arsenal and you can have a crazy navy

Prolly the earliest I’ve been to one of these

14:18 Why did we not colonized ourselfs? 15+ century Russia: actually I did

I'm an unlovable monster, thank you 🥺

I used to watch your minecraft videos as a kid and I’m happy I found you again

After you noticed Nebraska (47), I did noticed New Mexico (46) first but needed help finding Pennsylvania (45), Delaware (44), Kansas (43) with North (42) and South Dakota (41) missing too.

5:25 come out ye black and tans intensifies

Napoleon tried to colonize Europe but you wouldn't allow it.

Bro what version or Reddit are you using? It looks like you got stuck in HTML.

Unlovable monsters. Lol. I died.

Denmark is not going to sell Greenland any time soon...

10:53 New Mexico, Kansas, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Pennsylvania and Delaware are missing

I'm Czech and the reason why I'm here is basically due to KZfaq recommendations. Until now I didn't even know that you have some video about Czechia. PS. Actually we have slightly more than 10 million citizens :D

yeah, you need more videos of Finland, one or two, you're gonna get the whole country in your feed :D

I had trouble spotting Belgium on the emoji map

i love ur vids

can you do a video where you go through your videos and see which countries the audiences are from, im interested.

The USA if it was colonised by Europe got me

12:41 Lol I know live in Pine County, Minnesota. Never heard of it.

Thank you for talking slower. :) My brain is grateful.

21:00 - Marco Polo brought spaghetti from China to Roman/Italy ? 21:11 - Europe was de-forested to build ships to trade and colonize the world?

Re: islands. Well it would make a few things easier. 1. Every country can trade relatively easily except maybe Switzerland, which is just stuck gawking at the budget for how expensive building a port city into the side of a mountain is, and probably Nepal, which is more worried about how to even get down the several kilometer tall sheer cliff face surrounding them on every side. 2. Most non-island countries get an increase in habitable land. Especially Saharan Africa which probably loses most of it's harsh desert in favor of mild deserts, grasslands, or tropical savannahs. Libya for example probably grows it's carrying capacity immensely. 3. Invasion by land is harder but naval empires rule all. Protecting that length of coastline against amphibious operations would be exceedingly difficult.

in 1991 Boris Yeltsin offered to sell karelia (the land finland lost in the winter war) to finland for 15 billion USD but finland declined :(

The Sudan portion of the video reminds me of Monty Pythons Spam skit.

Hello, I am from Czechia and I am watching this video!

I guess could call the water between Iceland and the UK... A cod Warzone

The border of Western Australia is not actually completely straight. If you zoom right in to the junction between WA, NT, and SA, you'll find a tiny little dogleg with a carpark and a commemorative plaque in the absolute middle of nowhere. One of several little non-obvious oddities about the internal borders of Australia.

Toycat brings back the troubles c. 5:30

hey! Czech ibx2cat fan reporting for duty.

6:36 hhmmmm belgium

10:31 Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Mexico

‘Belgium also takes eight’ I think that may or may not be Germany.

Canada & the U.S just two straight bros hanging out... until you reach the great lakes area.... it's when the girlfriends are out ;)
