8:23 Dracula Thing basically is derived from the Romanian Word Dracul (Devil) because there was a King Vlad The 3rd called Dracul, but the idea of Dracula as the Vampire came from an Irish writer, Bram Stocker Who Took Inspiration from Vlad The 4th (Vlad The Impaler) because the People also called him Dracul (The Devil, because of his cruelty)
So excited you're going to Poland! I'm super curious about your impressions and I hope you have a great time. And indeed, Poland is doing better lately but maybe let's not go as far as putting it in A, B tier is already very much appreciated hahah
I went to Poland for the first time in my life last summer. It was much better than I expected. I only stayed in the area of Krakau (Kraków ) because my car broke down and I had no time to go north once it was fixed, but everything was great except the young police officer who insisted to give me a fine for walking on a road forbidden for pedestrians, when I only wanted to ask them for directions!!!! They were talking to somebody else, so I thought, ok let's walk to the police car and ask... Turned out they were fining that other person and when I showed up, I also got a fine! Anyway, the country was well organized, clean, safe and I saw a lot of progress and new wealth. I do know that usually this doesn't mean everybody profits, often there are parts of the population that can exploit all the new economic opportunities and get rich and other parts of the population that are left behind. So I know it's not utopia, but it is certainly developing nicely.
As someone from Catalunya, I appreciate the special mention of having to learn Catalan if you live in certain areas of Spain! Oftentimes we feel like people are not aware about this. However, I would like to point out that there are more languages that are spoken in Spain, namely Galician and Basque :)

Hello Erika! As a spaniard I have to recognize that your question about Spain ("Why do you make your life so hard?") is to be classified into the 'keen and wise' type of questions. Downgrading the country one step because of this is utterly appropriate.
Why so mean to Switzerland 😢 🇨🇭 We love our clean orderly cities, our peace and quiet and we love doing our own thing, it doesn't mean we don't like to have friends 😐
หลายเดือนก่อน +1
I *love* Switzerland, but a bit less so since my friend there tried to send an SBB watch to me in Poland. He thought he did everything right with regard to customs, but it just ended up being returned to him. Wouldn’t have been an issue if you guys were _at least_ in the Customs Union. 🥲
That's up to the EU, they try to use their common market as a bargaining chip to get stuff from countries that aren't in the union like Switzerland and Norway to access it.
07:01 People really should consider learning more history, especially about their home region. Lithuania used to be one of the biggest and strongest countries in Europe for ages (and it wasn't even that long ago)
If you include the Isle of Man as a country, you should also include the two other British Crown Dependencies: Jersey & Guernsey. But none of these is an independent county as, although self-governing constitutional monarchies (under King Charles III), they come under the UK international law.

Netherlands is my favorite EU country so far (only been to a few), but on my trip this summer, I got two speeding tickets for 8kph over the limit. That knocks them down a tier. Also, at security at AMS on my flight out, my carry-on bag got flagged. The security agent reaches for a corner of the bag and pulls out the item that was flagged - a pocket Dutch phrasebook. He laughed and said, "Only in Netherlands."
The story, from what I know, about why we shake our head for yes and nod for no is linked to Bulgaria being conquered by the ottomans in the middle ages. According to the legend, my ancestors back then swapped the meaning of the signs, so when the Ottoman rulers asked whether they wanted to convert, we would nod our heads for yes, but we agreed between ourselves that nodding our head actually meant no.
I'm from Luxembourg and this idea that everyone here is rich... Every time I see the amount that is supposed to be the "average income", I look around and wonder where are all these people who supposedly earn that much! Here's the thing about statistics and averages: Let's say 8 out of 10 people earn 2000€ per month and the other 2 earn 22.000€ per month. This would make an average of 6000€ per person, even though 4/5 of the people only earn 2000€. This is exactly what's going on here. We have a lot of banks and a lot of bank directors earn a fortune and it's what those few people earn that makes the average so high and make it seem like everyone here is rich.
Same, furthermore there are tons of dishes which are actually very good (thinking about piradzini for instance, I used to go buy mine at the centrāltirgus in Rīga). Latvia is a great country and has an amazing history but usually Latvians tend to see it as less cool than it is. Sveiks!
Why finland have skandinavian looking flag?theres not such thing as skandinavian flag,that cross on northern countries flags means christian country,and finnish language is easy to learn (says all my forreigner friends),finnish grammar is other thing,thats crazy hard to learn.
Like your choice of "misleading" thumbnail. Fits with the content, and I only noticed it after watching. Yes, I'm Dutch, but I don't think the Netherlands is full ;o). Keep doing what you're doing Erika. Love to see the growth of your channel.
The reason Finland has a the Nordic cross in their flag is because they used to be Russian. But they got super rich and decided to be their own country and they wanted to be closer to Scandinavians than Russians.
Not sure if I agree on Estonia being a C, Latvia a D and Lithuania a B. I'd definitely give Estonia a solid B if Lithuania also is a B, and that would bump Latvia up to a C. Regards from a Portuguese guy in Tallinn :)
The taxes in Switzerland are one of the lowest in all of Europe😂. And a lot of providers do include roaming here. It is expensive tho, but a Swiss salary is more than enough and better than any EU country
@@valentinasanchez5757 In relation to income, it's really not that expensive. You can save considerably more here than in Germany or Austria with the same job.
Portuguese person here...thank you for the nice grade! Just letting u now we also are struggling with housing the prices are just getting higher and higher. People usually only get a medium wage and even the people who have a strong education don't get much out of it. It's also very hard to get a job if u are a recent graduate. Most of all, we win for the incredible gastronomy (sad that u did not point that out) and the incredible good looking places that we have! We are a country full of history. We also have big greeny places unfortunately every year we get less due to the fires...what can we say? our government does nothing abt it. Anyways, thank you again for the comments. YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD COME!
I visited the baltic countries in 2023 ( ok only the 3 capitals) I liked it, despite the expensive groceries, which I could afford because I am from the decadent West. Maybe the rest of the countries are still backwater villages with dirt roads, but the capitals are charming, I especially liked the 18th- 19th century architecture and I am glad that the soviet occupation did not destroy that. You could see that once upon a time the Hansa trading brought a lot of wealth to the Baltics.

Who lied to you about Switzerland?😂 I make 110K and pay like 17% tax whoever told you that in Switzerland taxes take a lot of your money was trying to keep you from moving. Also we are two, one of us makes minimum wage and we still save 5/6k per month S tier country
Erika, I agree with you. Spain is too hot, not everywhere in Spain though, some places are too hot and too cold at the same time! Like Madrid! I'm spanish and I migrated from there as soon as I had some liberty from my parents 26 years ago!
While Finland is not a part of Scandinavia, it belongs to Nordic countries together with Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland, and we all have similar flags 😌
How about Czech republic (Czechia - Česko)? 🇨🇿 ? Don’t visit tourist trap Prague - come to second biggest city Brno - friendlier happier - you don’t need to be alone here 😊👍
Switzerland, at least the non-French part, is a low-tax country (including the healthcare insurance) compared to Germany and France. I'm German, live in Switzerland.
Thank you for your insight and opinions from your life and experiences in Europe :). I am currently looking to relocate to Europe from the US and really appreciate all of your insight 🥂
Haha, I totally do not agree. ;) But well this is your opinion, based on your experience. But you forgot a lot of countries. And yes taxes in Switzerland are low and in Liechtenstein even lower.
I think you forgot a few countries still, I'm sure you forgot Andorra though, but yeah I can accept the list as it is, just wish that my country got an A, but yeah that's wishful thinking probably.
Quite a few missing countries (with no-opinion probable in most cases). But Russia? I'm guessing that had to be left out for "diplomatic" reasons (and no, not for appeasement on a national scale). Way I see it is this: If you give it an F (or find that F is a bit too high, so where, then?), you might offend some fellow Estonians who speak that language, and even pine for a return to the "good old days". But if you give a D, you're guaranteed to offend everyone else, even if you have excuses like the way your granny's brother's cousin's family got deported to make space there, and never came back from "the East" again. After Vladolf Putler has been dealt with, or just ends the way we all do (not too long to wait for that, even), I think it might merit a kindly D, though. (Just pretend that it's all bright and shiny Moscow, and it could look that way - especially when you remember that the older generation won't be around there forever.) Be kind to Russia, and give it a D. That way the neighbours will be able to accept the rating, and eventually everyone else will come around to agreeing it's so in the Russia of, say, ten years time, where the oldies there finally all reach the point of becoming fertilizer like the rest of us one day will. Or just be like an average Russian, and have no opinion on the matter. (Or imagines that this is what the S+ tier was made for, I suppose.) Hmm, but then to keep the relative ratings at least partly "accurate", you'd have to give Ukraine an A at the same time, nê?
@@Blackadder75 Are you ok bud? Russia and Belarus are still european countries. More than that, European part of Russia is the biggest country in Europe. EU is not Europe and i think its REALLY beneficial to not be a part of EU nowadays. Wolkswagen closed some of its factories FIRST TIME IN 70 years. They did not do it during WW2. BASF, biggest chemical company in the world is moving to China because Russian gas moved there. British economy is fckd. German economy is fckd. More and more conservative parties are getting the votes. With Russia and Belarus being not a "part of europe" will lead to the rest sane european countries join them xD
Maybe i am mistaken, but romanians didn't come up with Dracula. They had the real life role model (not 100% though) where also the name is from. The person comming up with the form you think of, of Dracula was Bram Stoker. And he got his inspiration from the story "Camilla" of irish writer Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. That story btw. takes place in the south east of austria (what is now the south east, not when he wrote it) ->Styria. That said, you call vienna "shiny"? No idea what you mean by that, but quick tip: ride the subway U6 early in the morning or in the evening, and you will not call vienna shiny anymore ;-).
I'm from Poland, and I've been to Latvia only once, in Riga. I remember two things: the beautiful women and the architecture. I'd rate it at least an A. ;) And Sweden - not really S for me, not because of the country itself but because of some problems with... crimes. I wanted to moved there to live in some village among woods and lakes some time ago, not anymore.
Wow, wow, wow, hold on! How dare you saying Latvian cuisine is boring! Rasols, Debesmana, siera salati, kotlete, kapostu pirags, cukgala franču gaume (which btw, has nothing to do with France, I'm French and it perhaps is somewhat similar to "Cordon Bleu", but nay, not the same), etc. Nostalgia is probably talking here, but still, Latvian food is nothing to be ashamed of, quite the opposite.

You need someone that shows you around in Liechtenstein, then it is S Tier .... minus the high prices .... ending in B Tier
So many great countries left out :(
Did you learn your english in Latvia? Your english is gorgeus to hear, I am currently studyin english and it has been so hard to reach the fluency
Studying*
The G is pronounced, to emphasise "ing".
Protip: Nearly every English word that ends with "in" has a "g" after making "ing".
Your English is absolutely perfect. Congratulations and good luck.
Thank you for your insight and opinions from your life and experiences in Europe :). I am currently looking to relocate to Europe from the US and really appreciate all of your insight 🥂
Where is Chechnia?
Haha, I totally do not agree. ;) But well this is your opinion, based on your experience. But you forgot a lot of countries. And yes taxes in Switzerland are low and in Liechtenstein even lower.
Following here from Brazil, great channel
Such an interesting and lighthearted take on ranking countries! Keep up the awesome content, and looking forward to your next one! 💙🎥
thank uu
You forgotten Monaco lol
I think you forgot a few countries still, I'm sure you forgot Andorra though, but yeah I can accept the list as it is, just wish that my country got an A, but yeah that's wishful thinking probably.
i don‘t remember how did I found Erika‘s channel, but thank you TH-cam algorithm!
3:03 "I feel they just made that up" Newsflash Erika: all languages are made up😦
Just on Ireland, the kilts (man skirts) are much much more of a Scottish thing.
I thought it was a Celtic thing
@@phillipanselmo8540 No there is no common celtic culture and i am irish we don't wear kilts
Quite a few missing countries (with no-opinion probable in most cases). But Russia? I'm guessing that had to be left out for "diplomatic" reasons (and no, not for appeasement on a national scale).
Way I see it is this: If you give it an F (or find that F is a bit too high, so where, then?), you might offend some fellow Estonians who speak that language, and even pine for a return to the "good old days".
But if you give a D, you're guaranteed to offend everyone else, even if you have excuses like the way your granny's brother's cousin's family got deported to make space there, and never came back from "the East" again.
After Vladolf Putler has been dealt with, or just ends the way we all do (not too long to wait for that, even), I think it might merit a kindly D, though. (Just pretend that it's all bright and shiny Moscow, and it could look that way - especially when you remember that the older generation won't be around there forever.)
Be kind to Russia, and give it a D. That way the neighbours will be able to accept the rating, and eventually everyone else will come around to agreeing it's so in the Russia of, say, ten years time, where the oldies there finally all reach the point of becoming fertilizer like the rest of us one day will.
Or just be like an average Russian, and have no opinion on the matter. (Or imagines that this is what the S+ tier was made for, I suppose.)
Hmm, but then to keep the relative ratings at least partly "accurate", you'd have to give Ukraine an A at the same time, nê?
If you had to seperate flanders and wallonia where would you put them?
great rankings, full agree
Czech Republic, Russia, Belarus, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania, Moldova, Norway, Cyprus, San Marino, Andorra...?
russia and belarus got kicked out of the europe club for warmongering... some of the others are too small... ok Norway should be included
@@Blackadder75 Are you ok bud? Russia and Belarus are still european countries. More than that, European part of Russia is the biggest country in Europe.
EU is not Europe and i think its REALLY beneficial to not be a part of EU nowadays.
Wolkswagen closed some of its factories FIRST TIME IN 70 years. They did not do it during WW2.
BASF, biggest chemical company in the world is moving to China because Russian gas moved there.
British economy is fckd. German economy is fckd.
More and more conservative parties are getting the votes.
With Russia and Belarus being not a "part of europe" will lead to the rest sane european countries join them xD
@@surgeon9039I like the Zelenski's T-shirt "Make Russia Small Again".
@@fidenemini111 I like how Russia took 2 biggest regions by population and natural resources back from ukraine
where are you from?
Maybe i am mistaken, but romanians didn't come up with Dracula. They had the real life role model (not 100% though) where also the name is from.
The person comming up with the form you think of, of Dracula was Bram Stoker. And he got his inspiration from the story "Camilla" of irish writer Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. That story btw. takes place in the south east of austria (what is now the south east, not when he wrote it) ->Styria.
That said, you call vienna "shiny"? No idea what you mean by that, but quick tip: ride the subway U6 early in the morning or in the evening, and you will not call vienna shiny anymore ;-).
please do a part 2 i want to see my country(czechia) there cuz if slovakia is there, we gotta be there too man :(
3:50 wait till you find euskera…
Giving Hungary B tier is diabolical
I'm from Poland, and I've been to Latvia only once, in Riga. I remember two things: the beautiful women and the architecture. I'd rate it at least an A. ;) And Sweden - not really S for me, not because of the country itself but because of some problems with... crimes. I wanted to moved there to live in some village among woods and lakes some time ago, not anymore.
Wow, wow, wow, hold on! How dare you saying Latvian cuisine is boring! Rasols, Debesmana, siera salati, kotlete, kapostu pirags, cukgala franču gaume (which btw, has nothing to do with France, I'm French and it perhaps is somewhat similar to "Cordon Bleu", but nay, not the same), etc.
Nostalgia is probably talking here, but still, Latvian food is nothing to be ashamed of, quite the opposite.
Heh heh, Liechtenstein is S-Tier for me because as a grade-schooler I built a model of their Vaduz castle.
I thought you were from Netherlands 🇳🇱.
Bruh whats up with switzerland
Oh no! The fame of the polish beaver has reached even to Erika 😂😂😂I'm Polish outside of Poland and people keep mentioning it to me :D :D It will our new national symbol I guess
