I love when you repeat "its super deserty" like desert is the natural habitat of jewish people so they will feel right at home

I read descriptions- I usually hate when RU-vidrs get new editors bc they tend to make it cheesy. The editing on this video however really just makes it so much better. I love how it isn't annoying and it zooms in on the current talking points, while still adding funny little "animations" for side points. Anyways second channel don't care 💅

production quality going up, more dynamic, you look healthier and everything seems to be looking up in general happy for you!

16:56 To be fair our system is literally set up to where only 2 parties can actually dominate. The electoral college specifies that a presidental candidate needs 50% +1 electoral votes to be president or else congress picks. With the 2 party system we have, even if no candidate makes it to that majority, whoever has the majority in congress will guarantee that their party will win. The most clear case of this is in the election of 1824. Where Jackson did have the popular and electoral vote plurality, but lost because he didn't get the majority. Congress picked John Q. Adams because his party was in control. I would love a 3rd party to have an actual chance of being president, but it's not going to happen until one of the major parties commits political suicide.

It’s weird that the America as Holy Roman Empire map didn’t have Philadelphia and it surrounding counties as an independent city. They just lumped it under Maryland LOL

I feel like the last map might be based off what Columbus was expecting when he accidentally came upon America (since he was looking for a different route to Asia but he thought the world was smaller than it actually was)

Someone should make a map about all the people that own 19 dollah glocks

People can get pretty defensive of the lesser of two evils. I live in Seattle and was called a fascist when I said I didn’t vote for the incumbent but a different party entirely because my representative and I didn’t see eye to eye on the issues I care about

Toycat you are wrong about the voting thing, it's not a self fulfilling thing, it's baked in. We have a first past the post, winner takes all system. That kind of system inherently leads to this. If we had preference ordered voting, multi parties could be a thing.

Florida is the new Rome. Think about it... 1. Naples, FL and Naples in Italy are both located in the southwestern parts of their respective peninsulas. 2. Ron DeSantis is of Italian descent and acts like an absolute ruler 3. Rome has seven famous hills. Tallahassee is known as the City of the Seven Hills 4. Venice, by the Po delta, faced Visigoth aggression, while Jacksonville located in the northern part of its respective peninsula by the mouth of the St Johns River, faced Union aggression 5. Like how the Roman Empire had a long extensive coastline along the Mediterranean, Florida once had even more coastline thanks to a longer panhandle. Also, Fur _reFurs_ to the Fur people of western Sudan who live in Darfur. Darfur in Arabic means "land of the Fur".

He smiles here but deep down he is angry at humanity.

(13:20) "I'm only going to put sponsorships in the description and no useful links" "Why isn't anyone reading the description?"

12:30 Best map, I want this to be real just for the literal chaos. Al-Abama and the one for aliens are more chaotic too but very close to reality to be true, so they scare me.

At 10:07 why did the replace Fort Meyers with Fort Naplers? There is literally a Naples, Florida that would be in the same exact spot on this map as it is in Italy.

My dad must be missing in one of these imaginary worlds because I haven't seen him for years.

"Why is New York in Delaware?" I'm assuming they confused New York with Newark, DE. Those who travel by train or plane sometimes confuses New York with Newark, NJ across the river...especially Newark Penn Station with New York Penn Station where they accidentally get off at Newark thinking it's New York (doesn't help that Newark Penn is the station before NY Penn). Also a thicc Libya at 2:40 sounds like a Gaddafi wet dream...though I love the fact at 2:48 that NJ has been split between NY and Delaware on top of DE now having eastern PA, MD, and the whole of Delmarva while NY is now just the city and its suburbs...as it should be. A powerhouse.

I can't believe you IBX2cat. We were promised low quality videos and the quality was never going to improve. And here you are trying to improve the quality.

16:23 - I know westeners like to forget half of Europe exists, but even that big Ukraine was still fully contained in Europe

Portland, San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento, San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, Austin, Houston, Minneapolis, St Paul, Milwaukee, St Louis, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Nashville, Memphis, Jacksonville, Tampa, Washington, Baltimore, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia... They left out quite a few important cities. Some of them have a line drawn through them with no dot, but others got left out entirely.

why is the editing really nice all of a sudden

Now I want a movie about humans trying to figure out alien culture.

I love all your videos! Thank you for the happy bright spot on you tube!

Because of the spoiler effect a one vote system can not support more than two partys. This can be solved with ranked choice (which suffers from the canter squeeze effect) or approval which has no spoiler effect but does share the strategic not voting for people outside your party to boost your party as ranked choice voting

That blue flimmering background is the equivalent to elevator-music.

All the Hebrew in the Baja California-Israel map is reversed by the way

In Florida, there's a city named Naples and Venice. And also St. Petersburg.

What the world needs is a service with summaries of Toycat videos so you can see there's a discussion of existentialism 27 minutes into a first channel video about new swamp biome features.

Woah, highest quality toy cat video to date. It can only go down from here

I like how on the Soviet map Tokyo was renamed "Akakyo" - Red Capital.

I love the new editing style. Keep up the work, very interesting

i read descriptions... also i have never watched your first channel but it got recommended to me because i am interested in stuff like this

The World in 2070 is a fun map, with, unfortunately, many spelling mistakes.

I'll have to check out your probably main YT channel, but I don't read descriptions so I don't know the link 😉

The crazy thing is that in parallel universes people living in these worlds/maps will be looking at maps of our current 'real' world and be thinking how funny and strange they in comparison to their worlds.

‘The Duchy of the Two Dakotas’ makes me chuckle

Your new editor is awesome! After your camera died I saw where your green screen was, it seems you aren’t even using it?! I don’t know how this video being done. New editing techniques come out all the time and I don’t really keep up on them or (usually) even notice them, but I’m sure noticing here! Also, you find that best maps! These are always a lot of fun to watch.

I like the production quality when you compare back a few years ago.

Love the production value increase! I would recommend getting a ring light to improve the look of the face cam.

13:37 you missed that Prussia is back, but independent. Also Romania and Moldavia are merged again. And Gibraltar was given back to Spain.

As an American I can confirm that there are a lot of Jefferson counties. I live in one.

That what to wear in America map is amazing, where's it from?

Damn, it took you a while to find that subreddit

18:08 New England can have to Syracuse, but not south past NJ to Chesapeake Bay area.

to think that this guy was my funny minecraft updates guy now he's still my funny minecraft updates guy, but also my funny maps guy

why dies it feel like you hired an editor and told him, "Second channel, dont care."

Really weird that the high speed rail map doesn't include Minneapolis.

Love the honesty at the end lol

Thank you for pointing out the self fulfilling nature of the two party system. It’s so frustrating. Democracy can’t work when people don’t vote for what they want even under a perfect system.

Imaginary maps is my favorite subreddit, so much community creativity and ideas

I love the new editing ^ ^

I LIKE the previous type of toyct videos where he just pans over a map and not so super structured - there is more dynamic converstion in previous type of video. These are definitely a different type and very structured but the other type really captured my imagination

first time i heard about the losser becoming the vic president in the past, soudend like a cool idea untill 5 seconds of thinking made me realize it creates a huge insentive to assainate the president

As a south Idahoan I don’t know anyone from northern ID but would not be in the least bit shocked to see revived plans to make Lincoln as state

I've been subbed to this channel since the days your videos used to get 100 views

hey Toy Cat what's your favorite part about history and maps

Aw I was diggin the idea of Floritaly, unfortunate that your camera died.

Honestly wish the alien America map was in the description :( Edit: somehow i spelt this sentice like I was typing with a lisp

Where can I find the “what should I wear to America” map

13:57 - And Houston has been renamed "Hustan". Maybe it's "Hu-stan" because it changed its official language to Persian.

I was NOT expecting the part at 4:25 at all

The World in 2070 should have had Colorado breakup into two states. It already almost happened in 2013 with the proposed state of Northern Colorado.

That Alien map was hilarious

7:32 Clump is a combination of both so they win either way

5:12 holy god i was not ready for "LeninDerry"

The "thank God for Mississippi" joke roflmao

There was a Libertarian House seat for a long time in Michigan

The Principality of Roselawn, located between Illinois and Indiana in the Holy Roman Empire of America, should be interesting since the community of Roselawn, Indiana is most known for having two nudist colonies.

Idk man, telling Israel to relocate to the Baja California peninsula might just be genius.

Link to your sources please, I can never find these maps

I don’t think he meant for it to be a joke, but saying “it blows my mine.” Right after talking about someone named Kennedy.

2:48 We gained Toledo and lost the Upper Peninsula... Oh how the tables have turned.

I don't not never read descriptions

4:20 There are plenty of Jefferson counties all over the USA. And plenty of Lafayettes and Fayettes and Fayettevilles too.

Let's hope he buys cow paintings with that money

2:59 on this map would alot of Civil Wars happen.

I wish the multi-party system could work for America but the way it is set up means that one party needs to get the majority or else it goes to the House of Representatives with each state getting one vote. A tied electoral college election for example happened in 1800 with the House tying I believe it was 36 times before choosing Jefferson instead of Burr. Also, I do most of the time read the descriptionS for sources but often they are not cited :(

What the... Philippines was divided into language S.S.R.s... this Soviet Union map is sooo hilarious (at least for the part of the Philippines anyway).

5:03 This is the most terrifying thing I've ever seen

13:30 - The United Kingdom would go back to being named the Kingdom of Great Britain, and have the old Union Flag.

R.I.P I will miss you...you were my favorite youtuber

Anybody have a link to the world ussr map?

There's no Jerusalem on the Baja California peninsula, but you know, minor details. Who would notice? What could go wrong?

this editing is goated

Congrats on the sponsorship :>

"I met a woman named Kennedy, *it blows my mind*.."

I love how the NY stop is in Wilmington

12:24 New London inside of the county of Appleton. Sounds super-British to me!

19:08 Al Abama and Al Aska

I mean, if you gerrymander of the America into one state Hilary would win 437:0

The cat lies, he doesn't invest, he just buys lobster rolls.

I have super rare namen (5 people only have them) and my dad named me that after some prince that we aren't even sure that he existed. And in my country there's one super similar popular name to my so why I say my name everyone thinks that my name is that popular name.

Ngl the president vice president thing would be pretty baller. Gets around the whole one party being in near total control when they get elected and trying to push the system for even more power through myriad ways. If your opposition is at the table with you when youre writing up legislation it gives you a more grounded mindset. Also multi party gang

The system doesn’t work with more than 2 parties because in practice with our voting system, when people vote for who they really want, the other party that the majourity don’t like ends up winning.

quebec actaully tried to become its country a cpuple of decades ago so it kinda makes sence that they are their own inion 6:11

18:30 - You do know that divorce is legal in Utah.... right?

yess you finally took a look at one of my favorite subreddits, r/imaginarymaps!

It is correct that you can only vote for the two major parties. But if the US would enact a system where you can vote for several people and rank them, it would completely fix this. As soon as your top rank gets eliminated from contention, your vote switches to your second rank and we figure it all out again until only one remains. There’s a name for this system but it eludes me right now.

weird how it says "18 minute read" for a bit at 1:32 with the correct font and style.. hmmm

I love alternate history and stuff like that!
