What If You Removed The 10 Largest Countries? 

If the population is not removed, imagine how chaotic the world is

Fun fact: If you remove the 10 largest countries, atleast 2 people will die

2:33: No, Mongolia is not hanging, Mongolia is an island, 50 km away from Kazakhstan.

All this countries are so important in the world and i am so proud because I am an algerian 🇩🇿❤🇺🇸🇦🇺🇨🇦🇧🇷🇨🇳🇮🇳🇦🇷🇷🇺🇰🇿

Fun fact Mongolia doesn’t boarder Kazakhstan so it was an island much earlier in the video

I'd love to see a video on what scientists think this would do to the climate and ocean currents

Amazing video. I do think the Mercator projection is not the best when you want to focus on visualizing land area (Greenland is huge, Brazil is tiny, etc).

5:18 Mongolia was already an island when you removed China...

Its incorrect to say that Mongolia would only become an island after removing Kazakhstan, they would be one after removing China.

New main islands : - Scandinavia-Finland - Mongolia - Korea - Nepal - Bhutan - Indochina - Uruguay

Next ; what if you removed top 10 largest country by population

If we did the opposite and removed the 10 smallest countries (The Vatican City, Monaco, Nauru, Tuvalu, San Marino, Liechtenstein, Marshall Islands, St Kitts and Nevis, The Maldives, and Malta), then not much would change. Though Italy would gain 2 lakes and there’d be a lake between Switzerland and Austria.

What do you mean getting rid of Australia would make no difference? I'm pretty sure obliterating a continent would affect sea levels, which would affect Indonesia & possibly countries further afield.

1:50 correction: South Park is based on Fairplay, Colorado, not anywhere in Canada.

Is it just me or is there anyone else who is surprised seeing Algeria being bigger than Indonesia

5:25 mongolia was an island ever since china was gone

good video mate. even though you called us Aussies not that important, your videos are super interesting.

The Geography Bible: "I'm map expert" Also The Geography Bible: "Indonesia is just small tiny little country" Me: "Bruh"

Korea and Japan would have an amazing climate. So would Europe probably

Finally, Mongolia’s navy finally has a purpose.

1:52 South Park takes place in Colorado

Like the video. How about a video removing the 10 most populous nations? Or the 10 largest US states? Or the world's 10 largest economies?

very interesting! thats the first video im watching, I subscribed! :D

the first change you made to the map was my favourite by far

Nepal:- ohh! finally the beaches

I know it's very hard to predict but I think it would be a really cool idea to look at how the climate will change

2:54 Kazakhstan stopped being landlocked way back when Russia was removed

“it’s a nice even spread of countries from different continents” *removes 95% of north america*

You were wrong. You said Mongolia became an island when Kazakhstan was removed, it became an island when China was removed.

As a person in kentucky, i can confirm that the tsunami somehow swallowing every state closer to the coast than us and swallowing us will be slightly scary

A fascinating and unusual thing to do! You've put a lot of thought into what remains at each removal. (I do think a different - ideally an equi-area - projection would have been better, though. And perhaps alternating at each stage between a 0º-centred and a 180º-centred view.)

This would make the world more peaceful

1:18 "finally some freking ocean"

with these countries being removed, i think lands like zealandia ("old zealand") and sundaland might exist once again in the map due to sea levels dropping

You should do what happens if the top 10 (non island) countries are removed-if you haven’t already.

1:29 Now Caspian Sea is actually a Sea lol

With so much water drauned to fill up the gaps, the Maldives are having the time of their lives

good video

Now you should do a video on what if the 10 most populous countries were removed

BRICS has now become S 😂

removing that much landmass would cause severe changes to weather and climate, and even more natural disasters, so even though kazakhstan is no longer landlocked and some countries get more access to the ocean, it wont help that much or not at all

“goodbye, ice hockey, maple syrup and south park” WE NEED THOSE THREE THINGS MIXED TOGETHER

7:48 You are not using the Mercator, but rather the Miller projection

4:23 The Europeans 0,1 seconds after getting to America:

5:50 this world looks oddly peaceful

cool video

this was a really nice video he sounds like a really nice person this video put a smile on my face😃😃😃

I think removing Russia would have been enough for making Kazakhstan a non-landlocked country.

I would love to know how far does sea levels would drop with these countries gone

Ugh-"has become," not "has became." Wouldn't have been such a big deal one time, but it's in almost every sentence, so it grates over and over again. Very interesting video!

Please do! ;)

Australia 🇦🇺 my Homeland love 😘

I can’t imagine a world where the DRC is the largest country by landmass

i viewed this before this vid reached 1000 likes and i got to say this is impressive

Imagine "What if you removed the 10 smallest countries in the world" it would make a very big difference

What is the background shown in 0:16?

Mongolia has borders with Russia and China and not Kazakhstan.

Yeah, Greenland in it's size and the overwhelming superpower of the Danish Kingdom in relationship to it is gonna look quite embarrassing in this new world's order - I agree. We should do smth about it, I'm pretty sure. 🤔

if all that 10 countries are removed then the world would be like paradise. -A wise man

Can you do a continuation of this video where you remove the 20 largest countries?

Mostly world peace as the most dangerous countries disappeared, but there’s still some conflict

What a peaceful world it will be 😌

Do a top 20

Love the injected humour!

I love how Europe is just chilling there

Haha I'm first!! Love this vid btw ; )

6:50 he eliminated me and may be also you 😂

ok what would really happen depends on big things like lets say it has actually never been there then algeria makes a pretty big butterfly effects cause it both opens the sahara up to water so it can become for fertile for plants and life but it would also remove carthage and that would either make rome much weaker or much stronger but both paths and some pretty big nation would also open up in the sahara but the biggest things about this is that humanity got a straight route to southern africa which would probably make africa have been as great as the europeans i technology for the most of humans history and the biggest thing about it is evolution and migration cause the sources ive heard has changed a lot but lets say humans evolved in morroco first if the landmass never was there (algeria) then cause of the butterfly effect we would probably never have evolved but lets say we evovled still then migration would be a lot diffrent cause we have a straight route to southern africa but also a much more obstructed path to east that would probably make the whole world diffrent in cultures and that so even if the top 10 was removed the world would still be a much diffrent place and most of this is caused by the butterfly effect

4:29 my family is gone 😮😢

Next video idea: What if you removed the 20 largest countries?

Mexico: hey South America South America: yes? Mexico: can i join you? South America: if Central America says yes Mexico: why? South America: Central America is next to us Central America: sure Mexico: 😊

Still Bolivia is crying 😢

Thank you for the video. It was very interesting. Did you however forget Denmark, which includes Greenland? Also, "has become," not "has became."

Uruguay has a land border with Brazil and not Argentina.

5:33 the return of the silk road

make a video of what would happen if you remove the ten SMALLEST countries

You botched this entire video by not using an equal-area map projection.

Corrections: USA is 3rd, not China, Hong Kong is not a country it's a city, Mongolia would be an island at 2:38, Kazakhstan would've been not landlocked as soon as Russia disappeared, when India disappeared Nepal also would've been an island, that route from Bangladesh to Europe would've happened as soon as Russia disappeared

This would actually be a really interesting premise for a movie

Just recreated the Thanos snap, you monster. 😂😂

Fun fact: removing the top 10 biggest countries makes Armenia the only landlocked country in Asia 🇦🇲

7:04 - Wouid Japan now have the largest economy on Earth? Not sure about that. Given that their two largest trading partners are the US and China, the two of which combine for almost 40% of Japan's trade, I suspect another country would rise to the top.

i love hearing the line "australia is no more" it's just so funny to me

How are such videos made. Kindly assist me. Any programs that does it

"has BECOME!!!!" Not "has became"! Someone needs to practice their participles!

I find it funny that Europe (in a geographical view) has barely changed.

Ngl Russia being removed actually made the map look way better.

Vatican City sit in the back like a chad know when it’s going to win this game

It would have been cool to also see the new largest economies by continent, it's like this now: Asia: Japan 🇯🇵 Africa: South Africa 🇿🇦 Europe: Germany 🇩🇪 Oceania: New Zealand 🇳🇿 North America: Mexico 🇲🇽 South America: Chile 🇨🇱

Bruh chile is a stick with oceans both sides

Please make a video what the world look like if we removed the top 10 Most richest countries.

After Algeria gets removed from the map: wow more water Les gooo

possibles super powers: 1: uk 2: indonesia 3: france 4: japan 5: mongolia 6: mexico 7: ukranie 8: chile 9: south korea 10: germany

As a Ukrainian I love this map a lot))) ❤🇺🇦

Canada:* gets popped out of existence* Me and my family and everybody in Canada :* gets popped out of existence*

Top 5 Biggest Countries: 1. Russia 17M 2. Canada 9.9M 3. USA 9.8M 4. China 9.6M 5. Brazil 8.8M

Крим не російський! Крим є і завжди буде українським!

Australia removed would cause some massive ocean changes and they are a huge exporter of gold and natural gas

Bolivia is no longer landlocked

3:31 bolivia finally gets sea access? nice
