The Nation of 38 People (& the Criminals who Founded It)

In the middle of the Pacific Ocean lies a small island country known as the Pitcairn Islands. Although there are four of them, only the titular Pitcairn Island contains people; 38 of them, to be exact. Equally as strange as their current existence is the story of how they ended up there. In 1790, a mutiny on the HMS Bounty led to the first settlers finding their way to Pitcairn. The descendants of those settlers are still living there, after going through a slave uprising, decades of total isolation, and a horrific court case which tore the island apart. Now the Pitcairn Islanders are attempting to get people to move there... before their little territory becomes too small to save.

Anyone tempted to move to Pitcairn after watching this video? They could always use some extra hands

@Keegan_Carter 4 месяца назад

Hey man, I love your videos and I’ll always watch em’ My first video was the North Korean tree one ;)

@BryanChandler1905 4 месяца назад

I would like to move to Pitcairn Island. I just hope that they are still accepting immigrants.

Can’t believe diddler island was discovered by a boy on the HMS Swallow…

@BoomBoom-ym5oy Месяц назад

Kind sounds like an episode of flapjack

@dsxa918 Месяц назад

"Diddler Island" makes it sound a lot less appealing to me. Disclosure: the video just got to this part, about sexual assault trial.

Thank you! I think I've definitely missed once or twice but I appreciate the support!

I sincerely hope you continue making videos and gain the recognition you deserve! Your work is on par with that of creators with hundreds of thousands of subscribers.

Man, those times were wild. Kind of shame, that we live too late for geographic exploration, but too early for extraterrestrial exploration.

@Hyc1988 Месяц назад

One of my new favorite channels. These are informative yet not dead ass dry. Love it.

@ljphoenix4341 4 месяца назад

Already know all about Pitcairn islands thanks to Extremities (Wendover productions channel/podcast), but your retelling of the story/history is glorious 👌

@A-Grain-of-Salt 4 месяца назад

Love Wendover! Never watched the Extremities episode on Pitcairn but I'll check it out!

@vinesauceobscurities 4 месяца назад

Ah yes, the Pitcairns. The territory that made the UK eligible to join the Pacific-centric CPTPP even though it represents almost no economic presence in the wider Pacific trade network.

@A-Grain-of-Salt 4 месяца назад

And that's why they keep 'em around!

Apparently this island was important enough for it to have its own flag emoji 🇵🇳

@SuperCosmicMutantSquid Месяц назад

Anyone remember the Cartoon Network show 'Mike, Lu, and Ogg' about a girl from New York who becomes an exchange student on an island? And all the natives have British accents and European names and adopt a few British customs despite still being stereotypically 'native'? And the reason they're like that is because the original inhabitants were Brits and Pirates who crashed landed there? And all the inhabitants are related to each other? Yeah, it seems the real life inspiration for that is a LOOOOT darker, huh?

Children require special entry clearance from NZ because of a "child welfare charter". Even still they say they encourage families with children to settle there, although the school closed in 2023 according to Wikipedia.

Have to assume yt won't be monetizing this one, given the mentions of adolf & various horrible crimes lol

@Derek032789 4 месяца назад

If I had to guess, that settlement won't exist in 50 years. They're not replacing themselves. They'll eventually die out.

@A-Grain-of-Salt 4 месяца назад

Yeah that's looking like it'll be the case. From my research it seemed like a lot of them had kind of accepted that it wasn't going to last too much longer

@yeoldegunporn Месяц назад

Idk. Israel is getting closer to that every day.

@johnbacon4997 Месяц назад

I genuinely don't know why your channel hasn't blow up more. Maybe people think its related to Summoning Salt speedrunning channel? Anyhow I think every group of drunk guys has thought about taking over a micronation at one point and this is probably a great candidate.

@markwh58 4 месяца назад

Enjoyed the video. Only thing is …ain’t nothing nearby Pitcairn!!

@A-Grain-of-Salt 4 месяца назад

By Pitcairn standards, anything closer than 4000 miles away is nearby

Its just so wild to think of just bringing 11 women you just met on a ship with you for sex. How does that conversation happen? Is this just passport bro ing 300 years ago?
