See what you are saying, but you can take 3 off the FIFA number - in the UK we have separate football associations for each of the nation's in the union. Naturally Scotland, Wales and Norn' Eire aren't separate countries.. yet.
@@SewerRatsarepeopletoo Yeah Northern Ireland is definitely on the way out in the next couple of years. It is Majority Catholic now because Catholics have essentially out bred the Protestants which does not bode well for British Control.
Mostly because of autonomous british colonies that are dependent on britain but have decent autonomy

The problem of the UN is that some countries don't recognize others because of self-interests, ideologies or either childish confrontations... (Edit: this comment is outdated and doesn't represent my opinion, it is also very populist, so this doesn't represent the reality at all.)
Or because, you know... Kosovo is Serbian land and only exists so the Us and Albania have a puppet, PRC forcefully took control over the Chinese land, Northern Cyprus is ethnically and historically Greek/British/Cyprusian and turky has no right to it......
@@vivanovo it makes sense to me that kosovo (95% albanian ethnicity) is seperate from serbia (mostly serbian ethnicity). Can you tell me why you disagree with that?
@@vivanovo Moreover, Turkish cyprus has a turkish majority and let's not even talk about Palestine and wtf happened there
@@ismailshahzad6368 only after the Turkish invasion. Cyprus never ever was turkish. And Palestine is mostly the fault of egypt. If the UN partion plan was accepted (remember the Israelis accepted land made up mostly of desert and swamps unlike the land meant for an arab state), we could have avoided this conflict. Also it's often overlooked that Jordan was also part of palestine (making up the biggest part of it) and has a majority palestinian population but is ruled by the bedouin minority (somehow no one cares about this).
@@ismailshahzad6368 Turkish Cyprus is only mostly Turkish because they ethnically cleansed the area during the invasion...

The Armenia thing kinda cracks me up.

Azerbaijan: It's fine, even we recognize them.
Pakistan: Nah, fuck them!
Azerbaijan: ...fine, whatever.
I'm Pakistani and we don't hate Armenians most of us don't even know about it . Our government is really bullshit
@@kakashi9557 Yeah, I figured as much. Most people only know Azerbaijan from Grand Theft Auto. "How the fuck am I supposed to know what they look like? You could be an Azer-bi-gina for all I know!"
Honestly I'm Pakistani and no one cares about the Armenian-Azerbaijan war. No one has even talked about it our government is rubbish
Hell there is not even any state propaganda against Armenia by Pakistani establishment.
Nobody even knows the word "Armenian" except from a few porn clips maybe.
I'm sure they are humans just like us
unless....
as a Pakistani I fully agree with the others in this reply section that our government sucks and that no one cares about the Azerbaijan-Armenia war
I believe Spain doesnt recognize Kosovo because of their fear of Catalunya and the Basque region doing the same as Kosovo did and declare a unilateral independence. I suppose Gibraltar doing the same is a reason as well, since Spain also claims that territory.

These diplomatic anomalies are so fascinating to me, great video as always!!
I have been to two of them. Taiwan and Transnistria and count them as countries visited on my goal to reach 100 . Transnistria is a charming place with good food and friendly people .
Transnistria is not a country. Russia messed everything up in order to have Russian influence in every former Soviet nation. Kaliningrad, formerly known as Konigsberg, was not wanted by Poland or Lithuania (or Germany) after Soviet Union broke down because they didnt want Russia messing with them. That little piece of land between Poland and Lithuania is mostly Russian populated. So is Transnistria. If Moldova is no longer a sovereign nation Transnistria has a legal right to become independent or join Ukraine or Russia... its written in the Moldovan Constitution... guess who put that in the Moldovan Consitution...
@@dynamyt3 Funny you should mention Kaliningrad . In September 2022 I visited the Baltic countries. We got so close the Lithuanian border with it, 1/4 mile, that one guy's cell phone welcomed him to Russia!
@@dynamyt3 so moldovans who were saying to people of Transnistria: "suitcase, train station, Russia" is a fault of Russia. Okay, and ukrainian fascists who were fighting for Transnistria hoping it would become a part of Ukraine is also a fault of Russia. Because there is just no way dissolution of the biggest country in the world would naturally lead to territorial conflicts, right?
Transnistria looks like a small USSR/soviet union/Moldovan SSR because of it's flag
you can't claim a Russian satellite state is a country just because you want to brag on your social media that you've been to 100 countries. Shame on you, people are suffering and people like you are supporting this for your own selfish reasons
Afghanistan is likely to join this list, not all countries will recognize Taliban rule
Are you an Aurelion Sol main?
@@rosskata1650 yes
Afghanistan will be an example of a government that is not recognized, which is different from a country that is not recognized. Countries could recognize that Afghanistan as a country exists but not recognize the Taliban government as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.
@@javiersaneiro6412 Good points! So Afghanistan is most certainly a country, but one whose administration is disputed between the Taliban and the supporters of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. I guess this would make Afghanistan more similar to Venezuela or Yemen than any of the countries in this video!
The West is clamoring about human rights every day! human rights! But they always pretend not to see that the United States is killing Afghan children, which is really interesting.🤣
I guess the current taliban government of Afghanistan could become this soon.
Well that's a government thing, not a country thing. By that logic Venezuela also applies

@@fabulouscat3911 Venezuela is one thing, and Afghanistan and the talibans are another thing
A common theme with recognition of nations is the Western and Oceanic unity. Most of the time West Europe, USA, Canada, Japan and Australia present a united front. They seem to have a common policy and rarely have different views.

Taiwan: You may call me China.
China: No! *I* am China.
Taiwan: OK you can be China, I'll call myself Taiwan then.
China: NO! YOU ARE CHINA!
Taiwan: *mental confusion*
Also fun fact, the only reason why Taiwan still claims that it rules all of China is because, if we said otherwise the CCP can use this wordplay to give itself a reasonable excuse to invade. THE Taiwanese government only holds this claim for self-safety and to keep the status quo of sovereignty ambiguity so the CCP can't find any excuses to start wars.
Fun Fact: Kosovo is the part of Serbia, not state, check UN list of states.
Ask kosovo
I’m Taiwanese. Now we don’t care about being the sole heir to China. Now we just want to be Taiwan. We want to recognize China as China and we as Taiwan.
And oddly enough, the PRC will declare war if you formally declare independence and claim nothing that you don't already own (if I understand the situation correctly, I may not). That really sucks.
@@jeffbenton6183 yes that’s true
if you guys declared independence that would start a war lol

The Western Sahara is actually different from the others. The land is controlled by the government of Morocco so there is no Sahrawi political representation. No sahrawi currency, president, ministers, etc. The other cases like South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Kosovo and so on have a political structure and control the land.
@@hamzabel5782 Can you tell me the truth?
@@hamzabel5782 This doesn't change the fact that there is no political influence in the territory unlike other examples in this video. The Moroccan government has the control of the territory economically, politically and militarily.
To have a country before even having international relations you need to actually control and occupy the territory and have a government structure wich you don't have,Western Sahara is just southern Morroco.The thing is that Algeria is using you to have a puppet nation over there.
@@hadiox7087 That's exactly my point
@@hamzabel5782 are you nuts? " UN nation recognized western Sahara as occupied territory since 1975"?? This is not true. Firstly, it was designated as a "non-self governing territory" in 1963 (NOT 1975) at the request of MOROCCO to end Spanish occupation over the Moroccan southern territories. No where does the UN say its "occupied" (foreign occupation there ended in 1975). Secondly, only 39 countries (out of some 194) currently recognize the "Sahrawi Republic", although that doesn't make this invisible desert republic real. The truth is what you call "Western Sahara" is governed by the Kingdom of Morocco almost in it's entirety, no differently than how Casablanca, Tangier, Marrakech, Agadir, etc. are governed, not through "occupation" as you baselessly allege. It was Moroccan before the European invasion of Africa and after, if you can't handle that then you can go bang your head against a wall.

With Ireland’s relations with Israel and Palestine, it’s actually a pretty big thing here. With the way that the UK treated Ireland over the many years of occupation, Ireland has a soft spot and a want to speak out about their opinions on the matter. Many people around where I live actively fly Palestinian flags outside their homes because of the parallel that can be drawn with British occupation. Ireland has also passed a bill in both sections of government that would recognise Palestine as a sovereign state back in 2012 but has not fully gone through because of some people in government wanting to make it a Europe wide movement, something a lot of people disagree with in Ireland.
nobody disagrees with ireland , they are doing the right thing and not being a slave of Western mindset , instead they actually have a opinion
i really want to understand something if you can answer me that would be very nice. why would you support both side with a 2 state solution (if that is you opinion because I'm not sure) if one side doesn't even want the other to exist and is not willing to make any talks about the subject?

Somaliland is the one that has always confused me the most. Why not recognize Somaliland? It used to be independent. At this point it has once again been de facto in existence for as long as it was part of Somalia. All that part of Africa is tribal anyway (below the highlands of Ethiopia, which are culturally distinct) so I see no reason to question the legitimacy of Somaliland.
Go talk to the people living outside of the capital there, they'll give you a complete opposite answer to what public sites say lol.
Somaliland > Somalia
No one, absolutely no one in power wants to change the status quo in Africa willingly.
A single border change in africa would lead to a domino effect unlike anything you've ever seen.
Think about all of the local minorities/ interested parties that want to change the borders to their benefit, Somaliland is just one of dozens of cases where a border change is due.
Most of the reason is that other countries don’t want succession movements and most people who are not from the Isaac tribe don’t like it. Because most of their clan is in Somalia.
Isn't basically everyone in Somalia independent?
I don't really know why Romania does not recognize Taiwan. As I can see, at school kids learn about it. Maybe you got some information from the past years or decades. I understand the you cannot give the best data about some geography things, because its really hard to get informed about these kind of informations. Keep up the good work!
Edit: Also the same thing about Kosovo.
while the region of Transylvania has a lot more romanians than hungarians (70 to 17%) , there is small place within Transylvania called Székely Land, thats why Romanian doesnt recognize such places in other countries.

Morocco is inhabited by several different ethnic groups but which are all of Berber origin, there are the riffain, the chleuh, the zayane, the Saharawis, the Arabo-Berbers, I am chleuh-saharaoui..... the problem of Morocco is that it was colonized by 2 different countries, Spain and France, they are shared a country of 1200 years of history, in 1959 Morocco takes its independence from France, Morocco claims Western Sahara but Spain will not leave, in 1975 Morocco made a pacifist march that was called in Morocco the green march, 350,000 Moroccans and 40,000 soldiers headed for the Sahara to put pressure on Spain which ended up leaving like thieves giving itself the keys, Morocco settled in the Sahara and the Sahara became Moroccan, through a territory occupied by the polisario..it is algeria which finances and arms the polidario, they want to create the R.A.S.D (democratic saharaoui arab republic) while the ancestors of the saharaouis is the berber sanahdja tribes,and it is they with the chleuh tribes who will build marrakèch the capital of the dynasty of the almoravids ..... the colors of the flag of the SADR have nothing to do with north africa, the star and the crescent of moon on their flag has nothing to do with the Moroccan Sahara, the star and crescent moon on the Algerian and Tunisian flag refer to the Turkish Ottoman Empire, Morocco was never an Ottoman conquest. ... in short, the Sahara is Moroccan and we got it back in 1975 :)

Oh boy, I'm sure that the comment section will not turn into a war!
Great video as always!
I can help with that.
We can start with the fact that every country that want to join EU and NATO is currently losing pieces to Russia.
@@emib6599 how?
its kinda more peaceful than i anticipated
@@soul8938 So, you notice South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Transnistria? All of those are Russian-backed, and it's generally understood that a country can't become a part of NATO if Russia occupies a part of it. (I'm not saying that there aren't any legitimate reasons why some of the people who live there might be uncomfortable being part of Moldova or Georgia, for instance, but that's the geopolitics of it). The Russian invasion of Georgia coincided with a very public attempt by Georgia to join NATO.
Although the video didn't mention it, the unrecognized states in eastern Ukraine sprung up under similar circumstances.
Russia is terrified of countries on their border joining NATO, because it would (hypothetically) be much easier for NATO to invade Russia. To put this into perspective - half the territory that Hitler and Napoleon had to slog through to get to Moscow is no longer a part of Russia. If NATO wanted to invade (for whatever reason) they could probably take and hold Moscow much easier than anyone since the Mongols (NATO accounts for 70% of the World's defense spending, by the way)
Also, if a country like the Ukraine were to join the EU, and they went through the sort of economic transformation (together with fully free and fair elections) that Poland, Czechia and Slovakia have gone through since the 90s, that would be very dangerous for Putin as many Russians would inevitably ask "why can't we have that here?"
(It's a common belief in some parts of Eastern Europe that joining the EU is the key cleansing their countries from corruption - even as they are also often Euro-skeptic once their countries are in because they rather like a degree of independence. How well that works in actual practice is beyond me).
I'm live in the US, but I've been reading about this sort of thing for the past 7 years or so. I realize this isn't a very good summary, but I hope this helps.
@@jeffbenton6183 Im not informed enough about south ossetia and the others you mentioned to give an honest answer about that but like i said i would fully support a people group who has been suffering under their current nation due to their culture ethnicity religion or whatever to fight for their right to self governing.
What you’re mentioning is geopolitical moves by superpowers the way you described it they are mere puppet states of russia so no real freedom.
Although im not a fan of russia at all i wouldn’t want nato invading russia…your comment seems like they want to spread democracy and freedom and the world has seen often enough how that ends.
I'm Italian and i recognized Kosovo, Western Sahrawi, Palestine and Taiwan because i'm clever than my country
How clever you are shows that your country recognised "Kosovo"... but you don't know it 😂
Sorry but not sorry, nor you, nor your country can not make decisions about Serbian territory.
Wait and see, karma will explain everything to you 😊😊
Whats kosovo?????? Do you mean serbia
For Israel and Palestine it is obvious that most developed countries, mainly US and allies, stand for Israel. And almost all Arab countries stands for Palestine.
Alleged palestine
Notice that it's mostly lgbt friendly countries that stand for Israel & mostly homophobic countries that stand for Palestine.

You should go over the story between Armenia and Hungary, and why Armenia revoked relations. It’s an interesting, yet disturbing one.
What is the reason?
@@BallMuncher555 I don’t know for certain, but I’d assume it’s to do with when a diplomat from Armenia was murdered by one from Azerbaijan at a peace conference in Hungary, and Hungary just sort of left him go.
@@veryblocky they were soldiers studying in a joint international program. The Azeri formulated a plan to hunt down the two Armenian soldiers because he was a racist monster. To put it more diplomatically, he wanted to avenge the Khojaly massacre from the first Artsakh war… which was already “avenged” but that’s a different story. Anyway, he bought an axe and found the Armenian soldier (who was not even born during the first Artsakh war btw) asleep in his bed. The Azeri chopped him to pieces in his sleep. Then he hunted down the second one but was caught and arrested on his way to the second Armenian’s room. Hungary had the Azeri soldier in a prison… but then extradited him back to Azerbaijan where he received a hero’s welcome. He was awarded “national hero of Azerbaijan” or something like that, got a free apartment, and years of back pay for the time he spent in prison in Hungary.
Google Ramil Safarov to read about it
And yet Azerbaijan is a country which hosted Euro 2020 football matches and a grand prix. No matter how heinous your conduct, how questionable your government, bribes can make everything better.
2:45 exactly they should be in the china and taiwan chapter lol
The reason why Kosovo isnt recognised by Spain is because Spain fears that supporting the independence of a country’s region might cause some regions of Spain that dont really want independence at the moment like Galicia and vasque country to start to look at the idea of indepence
Yes that's true.
However I'm spanish and I think Kosovo is a country, along with other people in Spain
spain will get divided soon into many new states countries,first will get independence catalunya,then baskia and galicia,spain is just a region not a real strong unified country.

@@Thebestbobbyboy what does this have to do with the comment?
The guy say in 1975 Morocco annexed Western Sahara from Spain, like the world started in 1975 and Spain was in Africa ? Support of colonisation as its purest top degree. It’s like saying Spain took France from Morocco when the whole world knows Morocco was never in Europe and Spain was never in Africa.
They always skip that Morocco established in 780 and Europe : Portugal, Spain, France and United Kingdom all invaded and colonised Morocco through many years, Portugal took west of Morocco when Morocco get it back, is it called annexing ? Spain took north of Morocco and Western Sahara of Morocco, France took eastern Sahara of Morocco and add it to its created country called Algeria, then UK and France took south of Morocco which is Mauritania.
Separated in to 5 parts Morocco was only able to retrieve the Portugal part at west, the north part from Spain and lastly the Western Sahara from Spain again. While it failed to retrieve Mauritania and eastern Sahara because the colonisation said to Morocco we only believe on the border we draw for you and you have no right to claim your 700 years old border as we the supreme colonial countries love to separate other countries for our benefit.
Then a guy like this come in 2023 and he start talking about Morocco from 1975! It’s like the world started in 1975 and before this date ( shhhh let’s not tell anybody what we did to them before this, let’s make the world forget they existed before us and had all those lands for centuries. What a biased revue
Western Sahara was Spanish colony
@@KiviNik so you say when the world was created Spain existed before existence and colonised Western Sahara, then the world started and Morocco came to existence in 780 and Spain came later, but Spain also existed in the past, like it was a smoke country who could travel to the past and colonise south of Morocco ?
Or you want to say that Western Sahara was an independent country founded in xxx year and Spain clonozed it in 1800 ?
Which biased version is yours here ?
If you say version 1 then I will ask you what you smoking
If you say version 2 then I will ask you give us the name of a king of a president or a mullah or a sultan or a drug addicted who claimed to rule western share before Spain colonisation.
The answer is it’s Morocco and nothing else than Morocco. And was annexed by Spain same as the other parts that were annexed by Spain, France and Portugal po
@@aber6441 By the same logic, Sweden could have invaded Finland when it was freed from Russia. We could have told the Finns that they were not the rightful owners of the land. We were.
@@petraravn5421 You are comparing 2 different things, Finland EXISTED before it become part of Sweden, Sweden 8th oldest monarchy founded in 970 annexed Finland and after the treaty of Noteborg in 1323 most of Finland become part of Sweden, thats nearly 400 years later, means anytime they can challenge you and say we were there before knows as finish, we joined you and after Russia took us we decided to become independent country same as we were in the past. Boom you're done argument now ended.
also you are no longer a Kingdom, means the kingdom you gave allegiance to no longer exist, this give the right to any part of Sweden to disagree and become independent country because the cause that bounded you as one ruler in 970 no longer exists.
The Sahara was never an independent country, we the Berbers tribes decided to unite at once and become one in 780 and we gave allegiance to the founder of Morocco the 4th oldest Monarchy in the world that exist inutile today and still going and counting. We didn't annex Sahara after 400 years, from day 1 all tribes one after another gave allegiance to one ruler untie all of our barber tribes. we later annexed 70% of Spain and our Rulers ruled Over Andalusia same as you did with Finland, but when Spain took it back we didnt say Spain is part of Morocco because we know we annexed it by force.
The Sahara was always a core in our land, we welcomed the Arabs immigrants from middle east and gave then refuge in OUR LAND, the Arab immigrants that come from Yemen later we allowed them settle in OUR Sahara because they were more used to the rigid climate and we moved to the mountains around.
@@petraravn5421 after 1000 years from the establishment of our kingdom, Portugal, Spain, France annexed different parts of Morocco, Portugal took west of Morocco, which we got back, Spain took North of Morocco and western Sahara which we got back except for 2 cities still left until today Sebta and Melilla, France took South of Morocco (Mauritania Today which we couldnt take back because Spain was sitting in the sahara which was middle separating south from us) and Eastern Sahara which which france annexed from us and add it to its created country called Algeria.
Until we took Sahara back a terrorist front called Polisario which was created by Omar Qaddafi president of Libya (Qaddafi killed his country king and was against any king in Africa) and supported by Alegria (Alegria support it to make Morocco busy with western Sahara to not claim back the Eastern Sahara given to Algeria by France )
Then the polisario who are Yemen immigrant we welcomed in OUR Berber LAND are trying to create a new country inside our Country. The answer is: IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
The Western Sahara issue is resolved, Morocco still control it until today and last week United Nation secretary report was clear saying: There nothing called Polisario before 1975.
Polisario can go back to Yemen and separate their country (oh Yemen already separated, that's all what they are good at creating chaos)
Once we resolve this issue we will get the Eastern Sahara as we REJECT any CLONIZATION border drawn to us by Invaders.
In 1900 there was no cameras and news Europe did their shit in our country and killed and bombed people and took resources, but today they can dictate to us what borders we should have, we will not leave a single stone of our land and claim it back. If today United States agree that the Sahara is a Moroccan territory we don't give a damn about what Europeans thinks
