The Most Bizarre EMPIRE of All Time... 

4:13 3rd of April 2021, Drew Durnil reinvents the Atlantropa project

5:25 shout out to the one Canadian on the list who is too polite to correct him.

4:32 Wikipedia page says "Rain Shadow" Drew: Rainbow Shadow

RU-vid: Iceland is safe Drew Daniel: we don’t do this here

Drew: Interstellar clouds Me, a Bill Wurtz fan: EVEN CRAZIER SPACE DUST!!!

2:28 fun fact, all icelanders are relatives of each other, the government has made an app that has the function to search for each other credentials when dating to see if we are dating our cousin

Malta is secretly trying to recreate Drew’s dream of an island nation controlling all islands

Congrats on reaching your funded goal on Polandball plushies.

10:39 - A Yes , Bug Beds

The Knights Hospitaller also have rights to many asteroids! It’s one of those things that’s true but unbelievable! Whenever they help out some country that wants to pay them, but they don’t want to make those countries pay, they ask the country to sign over their rights to some asteroid. As a result most of the countries in the world would go to court to defend the Knights’ rights to most of the named asteroids!

4:18 yeah it's really lovely here in Morocco during spring basically the weather is similar to spain or southern italy

11:25 Nope, our sun has not enough mass to end up as a supernova or black hole. She will turn into a red giant and into a white dwarf later (so the upper way shown).

0:32 I can’t do this anymore! It’s everywhere! *Among us theme plays*

Last time I was this early, South America and Asia had fast runners

4:17 That happened before. That sea doesn't get enough water from rivers and streams to fill up so it would start evaporating.

10:30 spider bites. Only thing i have to worry about. Australians:first time?

7:10 "I want to know what virginia and maryland would feel about it" as a marylander, my opinion is: "ok"

7:50 In U.K. , you can marry your first degree cousin without any problem.

8:03 a fun story about Teddy Roosevelt and him making national parks. Congress didn't like him grabbing up all the land since it could've been used for business things. There was an agricultural bill that was amended to also have a note that Roosevelt couldn't claim any more land as a national park. Roosevelt couldn't just veto the bill since all the other parts of it were very important, so he waited until the very last minute and claimed as many national parks as he could before the bill needed to be signed. The reasoning behind TR wanting to conserve so much land was because most of the land on the east coast had been cleared for cities and towns and just for people, while the west still had a lot of its natural beauty left. He grew up in New York but he moved out west because he wanted to experience the frontier lifestyle, and he gained a strong appreciation for the natural beauty of the land

The lowest Temperature in Antarctica is actually -128,6 F°

I’m from Hawaii and I learned the mountain ranges in school. Also Laysan island was home to a species of bird that went extinct a few hundred years ago

11:10 no our sun will go down the white dwarf path

@4:15 "Why don't we just throw a dam right there and see what happens?" Herman Sörgel: "I feel seen!"

When he said 65% I thought he was gonna say something about people not being subscribed

Last time i was this early William conquered England

9:32 *pop* uhhhaaaaaaaaaAah!

1910:a Drew:Russia/Soviet Union Me:angry russian noises

6:52 They have diplomatic relations with every country apart from Scandinavia, Great Britain and Greece? I wonder why is th- *Protestants and fourth Crusade*

4:58 Africa is the best at it because they have to run for water constantly

Nice to see the big home country mentioned in this video. Big Up Malta!!

Watching this waiting for Drew's new video

6:13 In the Age of Empires III Campaign you start on Malta fighting the turks but then end up in the carribean fighting pirates. I guess we have found the inspiration.

6:45: The rightful succession to the Knights Hospitaller is disputed by several European countries. Most of them, including the Vatican, recognise the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta; however, the United Kingdom recognises the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem, while Sweden and the Netherlands recognise the Bailiwick of Brandenburg of the Chivalric Order of Saint John of the Hospital at Jerusalem.

4:53 lol i have one of those!!! Its my moms from when she was a kid

5:23 Says that as there is a dot in Southern Ontario

The polandball plush is so damn cute

@ 0:52, I say we evaporate all the water and make hawaii one single island

1:12 ok drew....

10:39 oh no not the bug bed!!

0:06 now I want to see the Mississippi flag with the flower

7:55 I would just like to say that it is missing three new National Parks (Indiana Sand Dunes, Gateway Arch, and White Sands.)

When you realize Hannah Montana and Indiana Jones aren't from Montana and Indiana

picture- bed bug drew- *b u g b e d*

this came out at midnight in my time zone

5:30 He said Canada had none :( There was one right there, southern ontario, just right of michigan

I have that globe 4:40

The Knights Hospitallers were more of a healer-focused order. And they are the only Knoght order still around today.

Wow good observation on the dragonflies abillities

Imagine Kenyan mothers making their children run home once they're born 😂

"What are the chances of Pompeii happening again? We could probably fit like another million people right next to some lava" Drew, I'd like to introduce you to the city of Naples. Over 3 million people, literally built right next to the very same volcano that destroyed Pompeii

1:39 "Oh bug beds!"

5:26 misses the dot in Southern Ontario 🤣 great observation skills drew yep Canada doesn't know shit about the summer Olympics

good thing that my country (malta) is FINALLY getting attention :)

Indiana Jones is from New Jersey this is one of the happiest days of my life.

4:42 I am in the process of drawing a map with provinces and it's hard to find other maps to show off which provinces are where. I need this.

1:35 made me think of that time Harry randomly found that on Geoguessr

Drew: giant dragonfly biggest insect of all time Arthropleura: doubt Edit: (This is a lie I got arthropod and insect confused) Griffinflys were indeed the largest insect but not largest arthropod

All of south Siberia is pretty fertile the Russians aren’t willing to populate it

I'm happy that Malta is in the intro

4:44 I actually have this same globe

0:32 sus

Drew: isn't our sun going to supernova? Me: dies from brain damage because I facepalmed to hard

11:55 look at iowa and illinois it is perfect

@9:10 im pretty sure humans top that KD chart though we long ascended from hunting to just creating animals specifically to eat

We fight for the lord

@ 0:18, Washington's flag looks like Brazil's

10:24 bed bug is terrifying

for the longest time ive wanted to move to akureyri, iceland but honestly i wouldne survive the cold as someone who hasnt seen snow for almost 15 years if you don't know, it's in the north of iceland and i recommend visiting it, also the stop lights are hearts and it's so drivers wont get in car accidents

Nice uploaded it three minutes ago

Imagine having all the countryballs and giving them to your children so that they can understand how history played out

Drew: that's not big we could dam that, let's drain the Mediterranean Atlantropa project: let us introduce ourselves

6:11 This is like the 7th time Drew has made reference to the Virgin Islands. I live in St. Croix

Everyone one saying first Me who came 100 years later: 👀

day 2 of trying to convince my parents to buy polandball plush, not successful ;-;

"Excuse me, are you Jake from State Farm?" "No, this is Scotty from marketing."

kenya has lots of good long-distance runners because of its high altitude. other countries with high altitudes also have this. it’s because the thinner air means they create more red blood cells to make more out of the limited oxygen, so when they come back down they’re able to run longer without losing their breath. (slightly oversimplified)

2:36 you know what else? ONLY 65% OF PEOPLE ARE SUBSCRIBED SO HIT THAT SU-

Any International fans here....

5:25 , That one Canadian out here looking like the frustrated (soccer) fan meme

“Bug Bed” I think my brain just bluescreened.

Day 43 Drew I'm welsh please come to patagonia 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I'm invading Denmark and norway now. Very good isn't it

At 5.25 You Can See Canada Actually Had 1 Fast Runner!

In 1983, the lowest temperature recorded in Antarctica was -128°

4:12 you cant dam it because theres a giant sea cliff and frequent earthquakes unfortunately

I think this is one of your best episodes to make Morocco look good not just deserts

5:09 its actually cause of the low oxygen in Kenya. Basically they pratice running there where theres low oxygen levels which makes their body work more. Then when they compete in say New York its a breeze since the air is so much easier.

10:42 also look out for chiggers. They are very small but give some of the worst bites

9:52 you knew, you ones mentioned it

0:28 The star be lookin SUS!

4:20 I lived in Morocco for a bit, it's actually very similar to parts of California in terms of vegetation and climate. Basically California but with more Arabs and Amazigh

10:15 I mean ... East Africa is looking to Unite

0:46 Whatta ya mean? Didn't everyone learn about that one in high school? We did and I live in Belgium!

I love how he knew barely anything about stars

10:39 "Oh, bug bed, eew" Yeah, bug bed.

I have one of those Globes that when it lights up it shows borders

7:55 bye, my county is literally split into 4

10:40 “bug bed”

I read an article a little bit ago about D.C. statehood and how it's been proposed that Maryland just annex it, but no one in D.C. or Maryland wants that to happen.

4:10 *Atlantropa intensifies*
