It's strange how watching Drew can sometimes be more reliable than watching the actual news when trying to learn about world events. But I love it either way!
Taiwan is literally nicknamed the ''sea fortress'' Drew, it is basically a giant rock. Look up an elevation map of Taiwan, it is crazy how elevated it is given that it's a fairly small island. There are only two actual big stretches of beaches that people can use to get to Taiwan, the rest are just impassable cliffsides. That's why during WW2, American generals concluded that it would be easier to invade mainland Japan than it would be to invade Japanese-occupied Taiwan.
7:10 As a Hungarian, I can testify that we are YET AGAIN on the losing side of a war, but this time we are with Russia and against Germany. Excellent choice. But to be fair, we didn't choose the commie side in the cold war, Stalin chose it for us.
i went to the nederlands for a while. stayed in amsterdam and when i went on a tour of the canal and i can confirm that it mostly consists of rusty bikes a few thousand fish and pigeons under every bridge
The best part is the Hell is where the Airport closes to Trondheim (one of our bigger cities) is located. For some reason they refuse to change the name from Værnes to Hell International Airport. A real tragedy.
you probably already assumed this or knew it, but the name "Hell" in norway is likely derived from "Hel" or "Helheim" which were parts of norse mythology. Hel being the goddess of death and Loki's child I think, and Helheim being basically viking hell. which is appropriately named.
2:00 as a Dutch, people that drink mostly go to bars/clubs on a bike and when you are drunk people do stupid crap. And it doesnt help that winter we get some heavy winds The amount of bikes i have seen laying on top of busstops is crazy but also very interesting
The plains of North Germany have significant connections with England, which are the origin of 6th century Saxon migration on the one side and the personal union with Hanover throughout most of the 18th century. Taking this occupation zone after WW2 was thus poetic in some way.
Hey drew I watch your videos because their amazing and march 28, and 29 my grandpa died and you really made me feel mentee when I watched your videos so I just wanted to say thank you for everything you’ve done
4:43 Hell is actually the Norwegian word for luck😄, for example in the Norwegian phrase; hell og lykke. But actual hell, like where the place where the demons are (if you believe in that) is actually helvete.
Poland was truly 100% polish only until the union with lithuania. Then we were just some mix of other cultures like most of our kings werent even polish.
Historical it would make more sense for USball to shoot German Empire rectangle with shotgun than Nepal being that Germans protested American soldiers use of shotguns during WWI
The kidnapper made everything in their basement exactly like Drew's studio, that's crazy.
I specialise in these areas…
Yes, now no one believes he actually was kidnapped
Yep

Also it could be because Taiwan is called the R.O.C (Republic of china)
@@ThekingplaysmeYTThe Republic of Korea could play the game as well. R.O.K.
It is rock because it is the ROC (Republic of China)
Ok
Gibralter would also work
3:16 No, I think this is a reference to the Fifth Republic being founded following Algeria's independence
yep, that's what I was about to say
But the fifth republic is 64 years old, unless this comic is 8 years old.
8:00 I think Taiwan is "Rock" since their official name is the Republic of China (ROC)
drew is the main reason why i know flags and countrys more than my argentinian grandpa
i can relate
*german grandpa

@Patrik Niklasson *Argentinian
His weird- moustache grandpa was austrian not german shhhh
Seems like his artistic career pissed him off

The reason Taiwan gets Rock is because When Taiwan was china It was called the republic of china or ROC 🇹🇼
Thank you to the person who kidnapped drew and didn’t kill him and kept him uploaded 🙏🙏🙏🙏
well... ummmm

Drew got kidnapped in Mexico, and he is so traumatized, he forgot and thinks he had a good time there...
7:25 meanwhile Bulgaria
Why is no one talking about NATO giving money to Ukraine while shouting “GETHIMGETHIMGETHIMGETHIM” and Ukraine going “grrr” LOL
0:38 Greenland in in a chain being held by Denmark
8:01 Because roc is short for Republic of China which people often pronounce as rock

Man.. I never knew that Bremen was an exclave of the American occupation zone.

Taiwan is Tock because their name shortened is R.O.C
1:20 accidentally made the bangladeshi flag 😂😂😂
Poland in the 90s was a punching bag dude.
4:50 My great grandfather would know
Update from March 30th, 2023, Honduras is not diplomatic partners with Taiwan anymore.
The plains of North Germany have significant connections with England, which are the origin of 6th century Saxon migration on the one side and the personal union with Hanover throughout most of the 18th century. Taking this occupation zone after WW2 was thus poetic in some way.
Must take some serious dedication to keep doing daily uploads while kidnapped
0:45 Now there are only thirteen diplomatic relations left (Honduras announced today that it has severed diplomatic relations with Taiwan)

the reason why most of the countries that recognize Taiwan are all small is that they can often just be bought out
Day 1(after 8 days of asking Drew) of asking Drew's kidnapper to put the state coat of arms of Sinaloa in the background
ok this kidnapper is pretty good at uploading schedule
Fr he even better than Drew
Thanks

The thing with Hell is that norwegian hell means luck, the nether Hell we call Helvete.

Poland is Kenny
Poland being called Wolverine is something i would never thiought i need
Pov : You're kidnapper forgot to kidnap you again…
8:00 taiwan gets rock because RoC (Republic Of China)
we all knew that
The fact drew inly explored 1% of countryball and never heard about one rechtangle called majahapit
I like the little Poland in the beginning on the right(his left)
4:46 don’t forget Hell, Michigan!
Fun fact: queen victoria married her german cousin and since Queen Elizabeth is a descend from her Queen Elizabeth is german
4:43 Hell is actually the Norwegian word for luck😄, for example in the Norwegian phrase; hell og lykke. But actual hell, like where the place where the demons are (if you believe in that) is actually helvete.
i like how no matter how many times poland dies the just use sheer willpower to come back
They just respawn.
how was the kidnapping also Jacksucksatgeography colab?
Poland was truly 100% polish only until the union with lithuania. Then we were just some mix of other cultures like most of our kings werent even polish.
The Texas Rangers actually invaded Mexico for a counter-cartel mission.
Haha 1:58
True,
A new trend from this thed came is magnet fishing, a friend use a magnet the van list 50 KG
I think Taiwan is rock because R.O.C. lol
Yall might not realize that Drew's house is shaking
That means that he took Drew's house to his basement
I may be wrong about this, but my guess about Taiwan being "rock" is that its official name is the Republic of China, or the ROC.
I’m from Poland and we came back… WWI… WWII… around 2 times.
the thumbnail got me rolling :skull:
Drew Taiwan gets Rock because they're the R.epublic O.f C.hina
4:15 uhh it’s simple uk=father ussr=mother USA=cousin France=family friend and other one(idk who they are)=brother
Saar Protectorate is the brother
For people that do not got the rock part with taiwan,so taiwan is also called Republic Of China:ROC.
Confirmed, lithuania/belarussian kidnapped Drew
Bro had the urge to call Paraguay a microstate
