Alright so this is definitely not worth my time but I'm procrastinating doing real work and so here it is: every comment I had in this entire video, along with the flags of every country involved. 0:26 "Supposedly there's a 197 countries" This is actually debated in some places. The UN (United Nations) recognizes 193 member nations and 2 non-member observing nations (Vatican City and Palestine). Other places sometimes considered countries include Taiwan and Kosovo (recognized by the US). Since this quiz says 197, they are likely using all 193 UN nations, both observing nations, and Taiwan and Kosovo. (With the benefit of having seen the whole video, they ask about both Taiwan and Kosovo, so they are definitely counting then). This statement about countries was also made in one of the other comments. 0:51 Question 1 - Attempt 1 Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 (✅) Solomon Islands 🇸🇧 Australia 🇦🇺 New Zealand 🇳🇿 "I don't even know if that's a real bird" The flag of Papua New Guinea features a Raggiana bird-of-paradise, the national bird of the country. "Papua New Guinea - that sounds Russian" Papua New Guinea has never been under Russian rule. It is a Pacific island nation previously colonized by Britain and Germany. 1:14 Question 2 - Attempt 1 Tonga 🇹🇴 South Africa 🇿🇦 Australia 🇦🇺 Vanuatu 🇻🇺 (✅) "What is a Tonga? That sounds African." In fact, Tonga is another Pacific island country, part of the continent of Oceania, sometimes known as simply Australia. Also, although not explicitly stated incorrectly, I'd like to clarify that Vanuatu is *also* a Pacific island nation. Admittedly, the flag does feature colors often found on African flags. "Green and Red? This is like Jamacan-y" The flag of Jamaca contains no red. 1:52 Question 3 - Attempt 1 Palau 🇵🇼 Nauru 🇳🇷 Kiribati 🇰🇮 (✅) Tuvalu 🇹🇻 "Nauru sounds African." Every country offered as an option on this question is a Pacific island country. Clearly a weak point of Joe's geography (as it is for many people). "Tuvalu - that's not real." Tuvalu has been its own country since it gained independence from the British Empire in 1978. 2:23 Question 4 - Attempt 1 Sao Tome and Principe 🇸🇹 Ghana 🇬🇭 Madagascar 🇲🇬 Ethiopia 🇪🇹 (✅) "Another African." This flag *is* African, yes! 2:38 Question 5 - Attempt 1 Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 Bahamas 🇧🇸 Barbados 🇧🇧 (✅) Guatemala 🇬🇹 "Guatemala - is that where Guantánamo Bay is?" I actually had no idea and had to find out myself. The answer is no - Guantánamo Bay is in Cuba. "Dominican Republic would have a way cooler flag." Interesting expectation. By my count, the flag of the Dominican Republic is actually far less attractive. 3:31 Question 6 - Attempt 1 Bahrain 🇧🇭 (✅) North Korea 🇰🇵 Qatar 🇶🇦 East Timor 🇹🇱 "This has got to be some type of Korean. It's, like, too simple." There are many simple flags out there, but I would not have listed either Korean flag as notably simple. Especially South Korea's. "We're still like 4 for 7." At this point, Joe has only answered six (6) questions and has gotten two (2) correct. 3:48 Question 7 - Attempt 1 San Marino 🇸🇲 Poland 🇵🇱 Malta 🇲🇹 Monaco 🇲🇨 (✅) "Ah, this is Poland." You know I thought so too. Poland and Monaco (and Indonesia) all have *very* similar flags and I get them mixed up too. 4:12 Question 8 - Attempt 1 Morocco 🇲🇦 China 🇨🇳 (✅) Malaysia 🇲🇾 Vietnam 🇻🇳 No notes. 4:16 Question 9 - Attempt 1 Guyana 🇬🇾 (✅) Bolivia 🇧🇴 Canada 🇨🇦 Argentina 🇦🇷 "Well, this is probably a square, I don't know." The shape being described here is a rectangle, *not* a square, and I am unreasonably defensive about it. "It's got to be African, though." While the flag of Guyana does feature colors commonly found on African flags, Guyana is in South America. 4:48 Question 10 - Attempt 1 Argentina 🇦🇷 Haiti 🇭🇹 Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Antigua and Barbuda 🇦🇬 (✅) "This is two different countries?" No, Antigua and Barbuda is one country composed of two major islands, Antigua and Barbuda, along with several smaller islands. 5:05 Question 11 - Attempt 1 Finland 🇫🇮 Bulgaria 🇧🇬 Spain 🇪🇸 Hungary 🇭🇺 (✅) 5:18 Question 12 - Attempt 1 Syria 🇸🇾 Pakistan 🇵🇰 (✅) Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 Algeria 🇩🇿 No notes. 5:22 Question 13 - Attempt 1 DR Congo 🇨🇩 Sudan 🇸🇩 (✅) Botswana 🇧🇼 Morocco 🇲🇦 "Is Sudan in Africa?" Why yes, yes it is. In fact, every country presented as a choice here is in Africa. 5:47 Question 14 - Attempt 1 Syria 🇸🇾 Singapore 🇸🇬 (✅) Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 Myanmar 🇲🇲 "No this has got to be Chinese." Well, one of the official languages of Singapore is Mandarin, so there is that. "I don't even know what a Myanmar is." Previously known as Burma, Myanmar is a southeast Asian country next to Thailand. 6:02 Very briefly shown on the screen here is the flag of Spain (🇪🇸) before the quiz gets somehow reset. "Alright, there's no proof on that, we basically got 25/25. That's what we're calling that." Unfortunatly for Joe, he has been recording this whole time, meaning there *is* a record. And his showing of 6 for 14 rules out a perfect score.
Im sorry bro but i got all and you only recognized Nicaragua because of the text "Republica de Nicaragua" all was easy. Ain't even hard for me you know what am sayin?
4:04 Hi, Turk here. Türkiye 🇹🇷 (we changed our name internationally to Türkiye a few years ago) is one of the 6 independent UN-member *Turkic* countries of the world along with Azerbaijan 🇦🇿, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿, Uzbekistan 🇺🇿, Turkmenistan 🇹🇲 & Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬. Istanbul is one of the rarest cities in the world which is located in the both continents, Europe & Asia. Also Istanbul is the biggest country of Europe with a population over 16 million. Istanbul used to be the capitals of the 3 major empires (Roman, Byzantine & Ottoman Empire). We Turks are definitely *AIN'T* Arabic, like Iraq, Saudi Arabia or Egypt etc. Turks ≠ Arabs. Turks are came from the Central Asian zones but yeah, we do border Iraq 🇮🇶, Syria 🇸🇾, Iran 🇮🇷, Armenia 🇦🇲, Azerbaijan 🇦🇿, Georgia 🇬🇪, Bulgaria 🇧🇬 & Greece 🇬🇷😅. Türkiye is one of the "trans-continental" countries which is located in more than 1 continent, we have landmasses in Europe & Asia. In addition, our population is +85 million (18th in the world ranking) & GDP wise, we're the 18th biggest economy of the world with more than $1 trillion. Also we're the 36th biggest country in the world with a land area of 783.562km² (302.525 sq mi). With the best wishes. 🖤🙌🏽🇹🇷
