Northern Countries Explained... (Countryballs) 

I love how Drew understands absolutely nothing about the Nordic relationships except the Sweden-Denmark rivalry. He's doing his best...

The best thing about that Nordic council slide was all the little details like "Or else ju vhat? Mæke møre neutral kuddlings vith Russia?" and "Av! Min Bornholm" xD

France: Destroying everyone Germany: THIS IS FINE

Allies: Germany, you can’t have any army other than a defense force. Germany: *How bout I do anyways?*

I just love how Drew avoids saying curse words. He even avoids saying "kill" and says oof.

5:29 Nordic noises is phonetically written there. It's pretty much exactly how Finns speak english. "After many years of hard convince work, I finally get every country on Nordic Council to agree with your admission" "I cannot believe is finally happening! Touday is happiest day of me life!"

I love the Nordic cartoon. All the little details! Even the most morbid one with Greenland having the worlds highest suicide rate.

Our rule here in Denmark is If you did it, blame the swedes If the swedes didn’t do it, blame greenland If greenland didn’t do it, blame the swedes If neither did it take it to the council of nordic countries

As i german i have to say this: We tried 3 times to take over Europe. Twice with war, once with diplomacy. Last one worked pretty well, huh...

Ngl i got triggered when drew didn't even know 6:02 was the Kalmar union/Scandinavian flag.

The yellow flag with the red cross in the Nordic council, is the old flag of the kaldmar union, which was a union made up by Denmark, Norway and Sweden

4:20 okay that’s too wholesome 🥲

Explaining Northern Countries won’t be that easy....

10:17 I mean, Netflix produced cuties, so...

5:15, fun fact, it never rains in the plain of Spain

1:10 Says Myanmar Drew: Goes out of his way to say Burma

As an Ohioan, I could see us learning a language just to flip Michigan off. Ruff ruff!

"i'm not a big fan of spam" me: oh...

As an Icelander, can confirm. All of the nordic nations agree on everything, we just disagree because [insert nation] also agrees. Damn Danes!

me studying french saw "your life is now _le pain_" bursted out laughing

I was surprised to see Drew featured in a Nat History documentary,Glovania.

Can you do all 50 states vs 50 random countries? Thanks! I love your channel drew.😄

I actually wish we could Estonia into Nordic. They even call the Swedish era "The good old Swedish times". Why do we (Swe) have to be so anti Estonia? :P

6:03 that’s the flag of the Kalmar Union which held most or all I forget of Nordic places sometime before

6:49 didnt even visit the capital. Damn

Drew: California needs water. Entire Middle East: YEP WE CAN WAIT *slowly dries out*

So germany in international politics is like "defend me before i make an army to defend myself we all know what happens when i get a big army so dont make me get one"?

8:47 for those wondering This game is: Papers please

The way Drew described a Tsundrere is hilarious

5:30 Finland to Estonia: Oi Eesti! After many years of hard work, I finally get every country on Nordic council to agree with your admission! Estonia to Finland: I cannot believe is finally happening! Today is happiest day of my life the joke being that Finnish and Estonian people pronounce English exactly how it is written and also they understand each other because Estonian language is somewhat identical to Finnish

Finland calling on the ancient Finnic spirits trapped away in other countries.

I like how bornholm just sits there and says rød grød med fløde

5:30 oh Eesti after many years of hard convince work i finally get every country on Nordic Counsil to agree with your admission I can not believe this is finally happening today is happiest day of my life.

5:30 Finland: Oh Estonia! After many years of hard convincing work, I finally got every country in the Nordic Council to agree with your admission! Estonia: I cannot believe this is finally happening! Today is the happiest day of my life!

When my anxiety about a countryballs video was at its highest, he finally uploaded one

Ohio and Michigan have actually been fairly close in the past..... And also nearly went to war with each other, we Ohioans actually gave the michiganders their nickname of wolverines,I forget the specific battle, but during the civil war the Ohio and Michigan units were ferocious, and actually complemented each other on the battlefield fairly nicely

The one that starts at 8:40 is based of a game called "Papers Please" which is set in the fictional Communist country of Arstotzka, (Their moto is "Glory To Arstotzka")

0:42 Yes, it's called a "post war economic miracle"... apparently.

8:27 CountryCheeses?

10:48 Drew: A beautiful, waifu ball... Next scene: *shows the same ball is a child *

9:34 THE PROPHECY IS TRUE

6:15 plague inc be like:

Brazil: gets all attention* Portugal: "if it werent for me brazil wouldnt be a country"

7:49 My Siri went bonkers.

10:40 Hi Drew, giving/receiving red packets (normally with money) are a tradition for Chinese New Year, and it symbolizes blessings from your older relatives, which you only receive after wishing them good fortune and a happy new year etc. So it's not birthday money, just saying :P Great video tho!

The Netherlands at 8:35 "We should be friends!"

As someone from Wisconsin may I verify that this stereotype is completely true as I have 11 separate packages of cheese in my refrigerator at this very moment.

Drew: *English* RU-vid: Ahhh yes! He's speaking in Korean! Captions: Korean

Drew, about 2:26... if you want to try it DON'T EAT IT RAW. Seriously, cut into thin slices, fry'em up in a pan, and enjoy with whatever carbs you can find. Japanese and Hawaiians alike usually go for rice, so that would be a nice exotic meal of the day, no?

3:43 ....I started coughing up a lung laughing so hard when I saw what Cali's ball's text had on it in place of "Republic of California"! And As an Arizonan, I think Cali hates us more than Texas...

3:48 As a New Jersey resident this is how we see the rest of the US

Imagine what would happen if the UN met the northern states. That would be interesting to see. Edit: Well, it appears that Ohio decided to do all that to spite my home state.

1:18 baguette means wand, so France pulled out a baguette and turned a country into a baguette le pain, or in English: wand of pain

hmmm... maybe i will change my name into Senko Le Pain

How in the name of Geography has Drew been on the internet for this long, only now learned what a tsundere is?

9:10 if you don't get this reference it's from a game called papers please in a fictional county called arstozka so but I like to think of as another version of the USSR because I get vibes of communism from the game

The yellow one with the red cross is the Kalmar Union

5:53 Yes, this is accurate. All Icelanders (except Danish teachers) hate Denmark.

9:00 ah the papers please reference

Sweden and Denmark : "We have a rivalry." France and England : "BWAAAHHH !"

As someone from Wisconsin I can 100% agree

zero dislikes... be a shame if somebody changed that... Nah, just kiddin' i would never do dat to my boi Drew

8:40 this is a reference to Papers Please, a indie video game.

6:24 as someone from Upstate New York, I can say this makes sense

3:11 is this a reference that Canada asked india for vaccines.

"Japan has a great economy" Uh, idk how to you this, but no they don't...

7:10: it is actually worst rivalryship in history so that means they will never be friends

At 5:30, when there was the "nordic noises" it is actually pretty easy to say in english, but we finns write almost everything the same way we say it.

I like the papers please reference.

1:57 he predicted it

7:20 Taiwan actually has a reason to like no-no germany because in ww2 germany supplied the Republic of china weapons, while south korea is just being an edgy kpop stan.

Greece: France please help me France: B R E A D

2:20 you should try it because it is very good but maybe it is just my Minnesotan taste buds

6:05 As an Upstater with family in Utica, this is how it is

There are three things I could stay up at night watching: Nightly Juicy Memes, Loudlists, and Drew Durnil Countryballs videos.

7:14 Are you also unable to pronounce "tsundere"?...

8:04 Minas Gerais, Brazil: finally a worthy opponent.

Do you know that Germany's airforce name is today luftwaffe.

Spam is pretty popular in Japan too from my understanding. Though when I visited there weren't ant dishes that really included this.

man i can’t believe how good spiffcoin is

(4:57) Roof

Cool keep up the good work

Happy Happy 40 Years Countryball Radio-Network!

Wisconsin: Cheese cheese cheese Minnesota: *turn into cheese* California: WRITE THAT DOWN IDAHO! 8:19 THEY HAVE BECOME THE CHEESE

I thought this would be a reaction to the youtuber countryballs explained

Good pronunciation of utica! And new york city always determines the whole state for taxes and elections, etc...

Drew didn’t notice Shetland and Orkney over in the left.

2:33 this is the most wrong picture i have seen in my entire life

Drew I am spreading the word of drew. You need to make more history videos where you explain stuff yourself.

9:12 "examining in the photosynthesis room"

6:02 that yellow countryball with the red cross is the flag of Scandinavia

Being from Wisconsin, this is 100% correct

5:11 Lol!! I don't speak English good I needed some time to understand But I laughed I laughed so hard, because of the absurdity of the joke 😂😂😂💔❤️ Love you man

The anchor part is of an old meme pertaining to the Czech naval force. Which was more of a river navy

1:58 - Spam Jam is an actual festival in Hawaii.

8:54 Canada had Covid 19 vaccination on January 21, 2018 Hold up

I've lived in South Jersey my whole life. Noone here seems any different from anyone else in the US. I'm guessing the mean stereotype is more North Jersey since you have a lot more people that commute to NYC up there and I'd be grumpy too if I had to spend half of my day in traffic to get to and back from work.

4:45 slavery moment

>Im studying this local phenomenon the locals call "snow" As an Arizonan I can confirm.

In my opinion it’s time to let Estonia be a nice small Nordic country. Estonia very deserves to be a Nordic country, because Estonia has done a lot of work, we have many smart people, we are good at digital things, we have northern lights and we are very similar to Finland and other Nordic countries like: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Greenland. We are not similar to Latvia and Lithuania and the other Eastern Europe countries. It’s time to stop calling Estonia Eastern Europe country and Baltic country and forget all this terrible, rude and mean Soviet times. Let’s just stop this Eastern Europe and Soviet stigma thing and let Estonia turn the new page and let them be a normal small Nordic country next to Sweden and Finland!!! Estonians call themselves the Nordic country and many other people and tourists had also said that Estonia should be a Nordic country, because Estonian people are Finnic people not Balts and we are more similar to Scandinavia. Yes many people had agreed with that Estonia must belong to the Nordic group and seperate from Latvia and Lithuania. They don’t even need these countries, because Estonians communicate more with Finns and other Scandinavian countries. Estonia will be a very good partner for the other Nordic countries. We will do a very great work and we will be very strong!!!😁🙏
