    As a Zimbabwean 🇿🇼, I started watching this channel since the Argentina episode and couldn't wait until you got to my country. Wow, time does fly as we're finally reaching it. I was also fascinated by Atlases too when I was a kid. Was drawn to them as I wanted to know where the colourful airliners that used to fly into Zimbabwe in 80s & 90s came from and how far they had flewn to get to us (I'm a bit of an aviation geek lol). I travel as much as I can and Geography Now has been a great resource as a starting point when I research destinations.

      I feel like if they did states within countries, it would make sense to co-jointly cover historical regions cause a lot of states don't correspond to former countries, allude to them in name only, or were created with the intention to erase the history of a country that used to exist but was annexed by another.

The only difference is Bejing doesnt want them to be reconized. Kosovo functions as well as a partially reconized balkan state can, which is suprisingly well.

    Barbs let me start off by saying that as an Armenian-Iranian, I absolutely loved this channel, and honestly what you said sounds amazing and I cannot wait, the only thing that I would really appreciate is, honestly, I know that you said you “don’t wanna do the studio thing” and you wanna go see everything for yourself, but I think it would absolutely fascinating, educational and cool if you (for example) did a “country coverage” on a place like Wallis and Futuna or Niue OR ANY OTHER AUTONOMOUS REGION, point being I know that the smaller the countries the less information there is out there but IN MY humble opinion, that is what makes Geography Now, Geography Now.
    Like I said I think the ideas for the future of the channel sound amazing and I’m going to continue and support you guys, but I’d love to see the coverages of the regions and territories and what not as well, it’s just that, that’s what made this channel THE CHANNEL for me, because think about it, who else is going to make a 30 minute video (which I don’t think is long, just the right amount) about St. Pierre and Miquelon on TH-cam?
    Overall, I hope you see this, I love this channel and content, either way it’s you’re channel and you make what you know is best and if you don’t enjoy doing what you do then it’s not right. So do what you have planned but hopefully if you see this, please consider it, love you Barbs❤️💪🏽🤩🥲
