2:12 Regarding Greek Fire, we can't "fully" recreate it because we just don't know the exact recipe, but nowadays, we can pretty much make a weapon that achieve that same effect if not more potent.

6:50 the fact that Switzerland was not true neutral 💀💀 completely disproves the whole thing, no questions asked

The thing about Greek fire is that, finding how to make that would only be done for research, since we already have multiple types Napalm so we don't need more of it's kind.

Petition for drew to make a Malta countryball plushie (Day 115)

Petition for Drew to visit Romania (day 138)

6:27 nuclear is technically renewable if we use traveling wave reactor, with it we have over 5 billion years of energy in uranium and thorium, so it is as renewable as solar.

6:58 ain't no way drew just called Estonia Finland

Petite petition to make Drew launch a Romanian plushie with a spear and fangs. Please man

7:06 You quickly realise that the chart is wrong the moment you see that Switzerland isn't noted as True Neutral country.

(3:00) The white round sign with four thin black stripes (or one wide black stripe) diagonally across does _not_ mean "no speed limit". It's a sign used throughout Germany and Europe and simply means it's the base speed. It's specially the combination of that sign and German motorway (official English term) that is no speed limit. One of the two signs is missing in that image.

Hungary yes!

3:18 correction: the skinny mustache man didn’t invent the autobahn, he just claimed he did. The first piece of highway in Germany worthy of the title “autobahn”, even if it was a small bit, was opened for public in 1921, and a longer piece was opened in 1932. We should thank Konrad Adenauer, mayor of Cologne, and later the first ever chancellor of the BRD

6:58 Drew called estonia Finland... so estonia can into nordics now? 😆

7:34 that pronunciation of “(Wehrmacht)” as “weimark” 😂 [ it’s pronounced ver-mact]

5:49 I mean that is the best argument i have heard so far as to why anyone would leave the eu!

9:42 in Australia you can drive for 19.5 hours and still be in the same local government area (like a county for americans)

8:26 Okay all memes aside, the ending to The Mist is so cruel. Love that movie

The best part is that France produces nearly half of Germany's CO2 emissions on a per capita basis. (5.2-9.4 tonnes per person)

Feeling proud but also thankful when people from other countries , with a great audience , loves all countries ...but also has a greece ball for so many videos ..proud to be greek and a Drew fan , and i enjoy your countent a lot ❤

9:14 Tornado damage vs a 10 pound big a*s rock

As an Aussie I knew about the autobahn before going to Germany, but it wasn’t till I actually went on it for the first time, very sleep deprived from the flight (being driven to our place by a mate) that I realised how surreal it was going 180km/h and having someone just cruise right past you going 200+

7:00 that sure looks like Finland

Petition for Drew to listen to the Malta ball guy (day 1)

6:59 that is estonia sir. I thought youd know that😮

Another amazing video

I live in Maine, and there is a Mexican restaurant that is surprisingly authentic, like could be in Texas or California levels of authentic. Pretty impressive considering we are the farthest state away in the lower 48.

In montenegro men didn't even call women by their names. They were calling the Mis of "husbands last name".

I like how Drew always uploads at lunch time

Fun fact I was born in Warrington.

9:20 I played around with long routes in Sweden. If you go from Riksgränsen in the north to Ystad in the south it's about a 22h drive, with a distance of almost 2000km or a bit over 1200 miles. And while you have to nudge the route to stay in Norway, the longest route in the country I found was a 40h drive. That route is about 3000km or 1800 miles. (Stavanger to Kirkenes) If google maps are to be believed that drive is only about an hour shorter than the drive from New York to Los Angeles.

1:54 all your three examples are perfectly possible

Estonia gets called Finland: Ahh yes

3:45 I think the reason for that has to do with emigration. Way more Italians and Chinese have emigrated to diverse regions of the world than mexico. Mexico has a strong emigration, sure, but it is mainly for economical reasons, which means they can't afford taking a plane or ship to another continent, they emigrate by foot mainly, so they do it to closer places, which translates to parts of the US closer to the border have a stronger presence of the culture. Also historically the wars in europe and the opression in east asia have made Italy and China sources of emigration, while most latin american nations have been receptors of the flow of people. Mexico's emigration is in conclusion relatively new and very particular. It's culture has expanded way slower, and the same applies to it's food.

6:57 Drew called Estonia Finland. It's now official.

falling asleep watching drew durnil and waking up to a new one 🔥🔥🔥

I'm Portuguese and I can tell you right now, we're in the neutral good category if not in the chaotic good one.

As a North Carolinian, people forget that state is huge. It takes 8 hours and 40 minutes to from Manteo on the coast to Murphy in the Mountains, which is 556 miles. Most of it is 4 lane, but you also go through Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and Asheville before hitting the speed bump that is the Appalachian Mountains.

8:24 I was scrambling to check if SG is safe. Apparently we do have relations according to Bhutan's foreign affairs ministry

9:30 we should appreciate how going all the way into Hungary in a path that looks twice as long is only 15 minutes longer

I didnt expect a mountain general cameo with the last one

5:57 I, and I expect many others, saw that coming.

I would discourage people from conflating the concept of "recognition" with "formal diplomatic relations". Declining to establish formal diplomatic relations with a given state does not mean that Bhutan does not recognize a state's existence and sovereignty, and does not interact with those states. Bhutan is a small country with limited resources and they've determined that maintaining relations and cooperation with certain countries does not require establishing an embassy in those nations. Bhutan has been able to sufficiently interact and cooperate with various countries through their respective UN missions in New York, along with their respective embassies in New Delhi, without incurring the costs of establishing embassies in every foreign capital.

9:21 Funnily enough, it's faster to get from Bratislava to Košice (two biggest Slovak cities) by leaving Slovakia near Bratislava, travel the entire Hungary and enter Slovakia again near Košice, than by travelling all across Slovakia, lol

The problem with Greek fire isn't so much anymore that we don't know substances which are able to ignite on water, the problem is that we don't know which one exactly did they use at the time, since today we know a lot of substances which could be able to do it and so be the substance for Greek fire.

I would be interested in knowing the reasons why Bhutan recognises some countries but not others. It seems a bit random if you just look at the map, but maybe there is a reason.

I approve of Bhutan's short list of recognized countries. But what did Iceland do to annoy them?

Drew Durnil for president 2024

Fun fact Butane does not even recognize its self

Love the John-cam in the corner

7:06 Poland in True Neutral? Germany in *LAWFUL GOOD* ?!?!!? Thats litelary the opposite of reality!

the last time you made a video that wasn't blocked at my school was a month ago

3:57 as a french person i have to agree. What we call "french tacos" is not spicy. It's basically tortilla with a bunch of meat (often kebab), sauce, fries and a lot of other stuff like onions, cheese etc. So yeah sorry Mexico for that (tastes great though). Just take it as an hommage to your country and it's culture

Petition to get Drew to have a throw back month with the country balls (Day 1)

All I'm gonna say is, Austria doesn't know what the wind is like in tornado alley.

To be fair logistically we would be able to do everything that drew talked about, the vast majority of people dont have the drive either economically or nationally to strive for them.

9:38 lmao if I drive from the middle of Poland to the coast it takes 6 hours

That german imam kind of sound like someone mimicking Chaplin mimicking "der F". So outrageous!!!😂😂😂

I will say when i lived in NC people often viewed the posted speed limit as a mere suggestion.

4:20 Hey, I'm subscribed to this man, it's Mr. Gunther Fehlinger! He's nice, I actually like most of his takes, but he can be a little kooky.

3:30 Ter-mill? Here in Singapore everyone pronounces it as tear-mill. I'm so confused

Lawful Evil is either Monaco or The Vatican depending on your PoV.

Regarding the last one - my first car was like that.

The US is HUGE. Look up a race called the Cannonball Run. It’s an illegal road race against the clock. There’s a movie starring Burt Reynolds, made in the early 80s, about the race. Start point is the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan, New York finish line is at the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, California, a distance of over 2,800 miles (4,500 km), depending on the route. The record is 25 hours 39 minutes, with an average speed of 113 mph (182 km/h). It hard to comprehend the true size of the contenital United States, but this speed run does a good job of it. Just imagine driving over 110mph on the interstate or highway for an hour straight. Then do it 24 more times. And you’re almost there, a few more miles to go. Insane. Now I’m off to see if there are any similar distance time dashes across Europe or Asia or both perhaps.

Day 1 of asking Drew a competition of Countryballs

3:02 It's probably more "relying on common sense", rather than "going as fast as humanly possible" lol

Looks like we in Belgium are on the good side of Bhutan.

8:26 Massachusetts was mentioned 9:20 the American path is 0.893 mi/min. Sl*vakia is 0.842 mi/min. To drive those 315 miles through Sl*vakia took 374 minutes. Using the American pace it would be 19 miles further in that time. Not optimal, but better. Is the problem that North Caroline is only better than Sl*vakia? 🤢

5:45 Finally, a proper representation of the Balkans!

Surprised to see Mountain General in this video

Petition for drew to make a San Marino , Vatican And Malta Countryball Series (Day 1)

5:08 you already reviewed this meme in other video (btw its my meme, it seeks people constantly repost it after 2b4y died)

9:30 if you drive slow enough you can also drive 9.5 hours in San Marino and still be in San Marino. Wilmington NC to Knoxville TN is 439 miles (706 km) and should take some 7 hours. By comparison Hamburg to Munich (for the Americans, they both in Germany) is 492 miles (791 km) and should take 7.5 hours.

9:30 Today I found out that the longest route in my country (Pieterburen to Vaals; 4 hours by car) is only twice as long as the longest route within my own province (Rekken to Brakel; 2 hours by car). Guelders realy is the biggest province of the Netherlands.

2:20 The Elections on german side aren´t better, local elections and eu-parliament election on the same Day in June and 3 State Elections in September, Federal Election in 2025.

Moldova flag in thumbnailll! :D

Nice video

6:52 the way he said norway sounded like he had som grudgd

Petition for drew to put the flag of the Byzantine empire in the background day 214

As an Algerian seeing France in the thumbnail as "natural good" made me unreasonable angry

Slovakian fun fact. Its faster to drive from Košice to Bratislava on the hungarian highway. Believe me I tried

3:51 Arizona ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

8:40 truer words never spoken, and not by Drew.

8:54 The secret is to not be known (California) but not be unknown (Wyoming)

4:58 He was busy fighting the Ottomans for the 137th time this week, can you blame him. (Context: That is Montenegro in the 19th century in the nutshell, just fight the turks to gain a couple km² of useless mountains)

Dude u look like my tech/ag teacher

hey Drew, can you post a video about KitzThaKitzKat? she hates countryballs and posts countryball abuse videos💀

2:12 Byzantium! ❤🎉🎉🎉❤

Before the Malta man

Bro I haven’t watched u in 3.5 years

Petition for Drew to hang up the flag of Yoyleland from BFDI on his wall (day 8 I think)

mountain general jumpscare

I hope that my country stays chaotic good, its a symbol of civilisation

You need a lousana flag

Petition for Drew to make a Guyana countryball plushie before Venezuela tries to annex us. (Day 108)

I heard Wehrmacht was rebranded to Y-Mart

hey is there someplace i could buy the plushies in your vids

Nine hours in the same state is nothing. I grew up in Queensland, Australia. According to Google Maps Coolangatta, Queensland to Bamaga, Queensland is a 32 hour journey via the fastest route. Queensland isn't the biggest state, though. There are places 40 hours apart in Western Australia.

If Europian countries switched economies from peacetime to wartime, we would be able to make more shells and military equipment, than ever in history, so it's not that we're incapable of making so many shells anymore, it's that we have also other things to make and do.

6:58 you called Estonia FInland. How dare you.
