What If the Three Largest Countries Were Removed from Each Continent? 

Mongolia just went from being landlocked to an island.

Imagine Italy was one of the countries gone. San Marino would be a tiny island and the Vatican City would be basically a ship.

I like how all of North America is just gone now

Even with removed world giants, double-landlocked Uzbekistan still has no access to ocean)))).

The african continent is actually pretty good for the other countries because 10 countries in Africa got the access to the seas. Rest is pretty bad tho

Countries that are gone 🇨🇩 DR. Congo 🇸🇩 Sudan 🇩🇿 Algeria 🇷🇺 Russia 🇨🇳 China 🇮🇳 India 🇺🇦 Ukraine 🇨🇵 France 🇺🇲 U.S.A 🇨🇦 Canada 🇲🇽 Mexico 🇦🇺 Australia 🇵🇬 Papu new Guinea 🇳🇿 New Zealand 🇧🇷 Brazil 🇦🇷 Argentina 🇵🇪 Peru

When I saw the title, I immediately thought about North America. All that will be left would be C.A and the Caribbean Islands

Greenland:i-im still here Denmark:this...was...CLOSE!!!

Russia really said to Ukraine: If I'm going down, you're going down with me

South Sudan is actually in a great situation for trading as it’s situated right in between the Sudanese gulf and the Congo gulf

D-Did we just achieve world peace? 🥺 Edit: Guys i summoned a world war

Dude woke up and chose violence on the Map.

Mexico: I'm innocent Denmark: take him away!

Chile finally has enough coastline

Ooh now show us an inverted version of this final map!

alternate title: a bunch of landlocked countries gain access to ocean

You should've taken into account the fact that the sea level would fall a bit because there's no land to occupy that space anymore.

"Where is north America?" "Gone."

0:24 without Iran the Middle East looks very weird

Mongolia : **become an island* Europe : *phew "now we all save-" Also Mongol : "NOT ON MY WATCH!" **brings seahorse and trident*

bro I can't believe even a GEOGRAPHY channel would not include New Zealand on the map

"Oceana"

I'm sad Canada has gone they are nice.

@6:04 New Zealand... doesn't matter. =( Sorry to Kiwis occasionally being geographically snubbed on the edge of the Pacific, but having lived there several years (and becoming a proud citizen) it's still a bit of a "secret" knowing just how gorgeous it is. Even the Kiwis themselves often don't seem to know how lucky they are to be somewhat "unknown". When Armageddon comes it will be the last paradise.

Ukraine:Oh yes, no ruzzia, no more Ukraine:Oh...

Well I think you either should have gotten rid of Denmark with greenland instead of France. Or just greenland instead of Mexico

As a Brit I see losing France as a huge win

Bro mount everest on this map irl would look like the world border

Future video suggestion: what if the top 25 economies of the world were removed?

Europe: 😊 Asia: 😅 South America: 😕 North America:😶 Oceania: ☠️

What I find a bit strange, that you say "kilometers squared", instead.of "squarekilometers".

weird to think about! keep up the work!

this is absolutely outrageous! Trinidad and Tobago was never included in the video (obviously the most geographically important country)

The Falklands Islanders will be Happy with no more Argentina 😂

This could have been a very interesting video, talking about how there could now be more port cities, climate change due to more bays and amount of water, new countries, new habitats, etc. But what was said in the video was nothing interesting, it was just like "now Korea is an island, Nicaragua is now big" a very wasted opportunity

So basically, this has solved world peace. Additionally, the world belongs to the UK, Germany and Japan - again. This is absolute win.

We lost half of population, ruined ocean currents,lost 40% land but fixed climate.

now make a map where you fit the countries you removed from this map together to form a new continent on a fictional world.

If you have been removed, like this comment.

Bolivia finally has access to the sea

Kazakhstan is now the largest country in the world💀

Just a thought, but what if you swapped populations around. Say, northern hemisphere swapped with southern hemisphere. Or Europe with the Americas. Asia with China. Lots of possibilities. And with the swap you should take into consideration the ability of each destination's geography into consideration when supporting that population. For example, moving China's population to New Zealand will probably have people standing shoulder to shoulder.

7:22 How Europe tried to imagine the world to be. A world without America, France not annoying everyone, Russia being a punk, and Aussies with their strange language.

UK:rubs hands while thinking of potential new coastal colonies.

What would climate be like now? Less deserts, shorter rivers, probably more rain. Would global shipping make sense? Ocean currents would be different.

Antarctica:🍷🗿

What If all of mainland North and South America along with mainland Eurasia disappeared

Next please could you do the same but with the 5 biggest countys

3:35 YES NO MORE FRANCE

I think that if Greenland isnt taken away from North America, then Denmark should be taken from europe

Honestly that map ay the beginning was lowkey fire apart from miasing Canada.

*This video is absolutely fascinating! I never imagined how drastically our world map would change by removing the three largest countries from each continent. Truly mind-blowing!*

1:23 that bird got a pretty strong jawline

0:47 okay but what on earth is "Africa area" 😭

Was expecting you to start talking about how global weather and ocean currents might be affected. The geopolitical consequences would also be interesting. Almost certainly a whole bunch of new wars would break out.

Bro you forgot Antartica frfr!!!!

Yoy know its bad, when you realize that now, the world super power is South Korea💀💀

In this new world in my opinion top countries by general statements (so gdp, military power, influence etc...) would be (this is not a perfect ranking): 1st Japan 2nd Germany 3rd United Kingdom 4th Italy 5th South Korea 6th Spain 7th Turkey 8th Indonesia 9th Pakistan 10th Saudi Arabia Correct me if i'm wrong

Here’s an idea: show what the world map would look like (complete with national borders) as the sea levels increase in increments. Keep in mind that places that are below the new sea level but are surrounded by higher land would remain dry. End this when Mt. Everest disappears. Then go the other way. Show what parts of the ocean would become dry land first as the oceans disappeared. Assume that any new land belongs to whatever country it’s closest to. End this when even Challenger Deep becomes dry land.

Bro just made world more peaceful

Good thing most of the population was carried away with the chosen countries since a vast swath of farmable land was also eliminated. Actually, I'm not entirely sure the remaining four billion people have enough cropland to feed themselves.

I wonder which language would be the most widely spoken language on this map.

Country | % total | Africa area in km² (mi²) 1 | 🇩🇿 Algeria | 7.9% | 2,381,741 (919,595) 2 | 🇨🇩 DR Congo | 7.7% | 2,344,858 (905,355) 3 | 🇸🇩 Sudan | 6.2% | 1,861,484 (718,723)

America is not divided, so it would be left without Canada, the United States and Brazil, as a curious fact Brazil is the largest contiguous country in America surpassing the United States and Canada

Kinda surprising how he just mostly skimmed over Sudan being gone because if that would happen, this would mean the Nile would now empty into the new sea in Sudan. That would probably have catastrophic consequences for Egypt.

Please learn how to pronounce Oceania correctly.

This man did what Thanos couldnt and wiped out not only half of the human population but also wiped out about half of all land mass

I don't understand the point of these ridiculous scenarios. What's wrong with just exploring and presenting facts?

You should’ve done this to Yakko’s world

My predictions: - Turkey controls the shortest path from European and North African ports to Asia that doesn't freeze in winter, making them a giant of international trade. Suez canal is still better, however, if you want to reach Indonesia or Southeast Asia. - Kazakhstan in this reality would likely become a hub for piracy, much like Somalia is in our world, but not due to chaos, rather since with their population density they probably couldn't effectively guard their entire coastline. - Without Russia, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth wouldn't fall :) (Unless it's conquered by Sweden). It'd also be a strong naval power, since forests in eastern Europe have trees with good wood for shipbuilding (Historically, British imported a ton of wood from prussia for that purpose, back when prussia was a vassal of PLC) - Germany might become the dominant European superpower after it unifies, but without Napoleon unification of Germany might take a little longer. Until then, Habsburgs would probably enjoy a much more stable domination over Europe without french to worry about (Might even conquer all of Italy and put a Habsburg on Polish throne) - With North America and India both gone, Great Brittain is gonna take a very different approach to colonisation. I think they'd intensify efforts in east asia, Japan is probably gonna be conquered by the British in this reality. - Genghis Khan is probably not happening in this reality, not with the record on naval invasions Mongolian empire had on their conquests. - Without manchu attacking them from the north and China influencing their politics, Korea will probably prosper more than in reality. Unlikely to stop Europeans from conquering them. That's more or less all I could come up with

I feel like Greenland and Denmark should have been removed instead of France if you're going to argue Greenland shouldn't have been removed as a North American country

Gentlemen, we have just achieved world peace

French me thinking I'll be going from rank 6 to rank 1 : _Kalm_ Me realizing I'd be going from rank 6 to rank 0 : *PANIK*

This is how it looks just removing the land mass, but how does it look with the new sea levels as removing this much land would absolutely cause the sea levels to drop.

My unemployed friend sitting idle😂😂

The hurricanes in this revised planet are going to be fierce😮

Middle east: is turkiye a joke to u?

2:47 I’m sure the Mongols learned how to make boats in this universe

Can you do the 5th largest countries from each continent?

With all due respect using the mercartor projection instead of peters or robisons in a AREA SIZE videos it's almost a crime.

British and Japanese Naval Empires: "Guess who's back!"

"now lets go in south america to my opinion its the craziest one" Meanwhile north america is only greenland

**Deletes France** "The world hasn't changed much"

I wonder how much the sea levels will drop by with all of this extra sea and ocean

New Guinea, Bolivia, Italy and Nepal among others would have some impressive sea cliffs!

Your North America made no sense. If you're saying Greenland is just a dependency of Denmark then you should have just removed all of Denmark from the map.

Interesting video! But I also wanted to hear something about how would the climate change. My opinion: everywhere in the world would be mild sea climate with lower temperature variations. Also, many currents, such as Brasilian, East Australian and Kuroshio would be broken. Gulftream changes will make Scandinavia a colder place. I did not even mentioned biosphere because it's too complicated.

I love how Cermany and Japan instantly became superpowers

Europapark would be next to the ocean, you could see it from the rollercoasters, that would be neat

Weird concept. Reminds me of the old SNL video, which asked the question, “What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? Would that have impacted WW2?

Thanks for the tutorial on how to solve overpopulation and inflation

north america like AAHH- *gone, reduced to atoms*

This would be a sick fantasy world map

This was alot of fun!!

Bolivia now has two coasts 🥹

‘A map that is forever changing due to changes’

- Worldwide pollution would just stop overnight - UK outlives France I see this as an absolute win

Where can I sign for this?

Czechia is still being landlocked... a true curse

Ignoring greenland just because denmark owns it is really weird. Then where does greenland fit in? Maybe you should have taken denmark away from europe?
