I already mastered the locations of US states, the time has come to take it to the next level -- placing all European countries on the map without borders.
*immediately starts video with calling Scandinavia the "baltic peninsula"*
This is gonna be good
I found it highly offensive
more like ball-dick penis-ula
I didn't even realize he was wrong until I saw this comment and looked it up. Maybe I should touch up on my European geography
It makes sense but is also so wrong
Oh god, I was away from my screen when I heard him say that and assumed he meant about nationalism or something. It was the shape of the Nordics! (You need Finland for the "balls" which is not Scandinavian!)
"that's where I clicked!"
narrator voice: "it wasn't"
Aye that second Kosovo one he for sure hit it
@@thaprofessa2296 No he didn't lol he was way too far to the right
To be fair it's insanely frustrating with these that when you get it wrong it refreshes the page and slightly moves the map, so you can't be sure where exactly you clicked anymore
him clicking the same spot in belgium 50 times in a row on several occasions claiming luxembourg can't be clicked is killing me on the inside
Especially when he said that there is a mountain range between Belgium the Netherlands and germany
@@TheBestKiller28 for Dutch, the Drielandenpunt is a mountain :D
Yet when he wants to click Belgium, he always clicks Northern France :thinkingemoji:
It’s like he can’t see where is mouse is.
@@parahaxeus1267 It's the new monitor's fault!
This man will literally never forget where Serbia is after this.
Me watching from Serbia 😢
@@whiteemp8595 me too 😢
Severni Lav nas izneverio 😔
PepeLaugh oh no no no
Seems like he was sleeping during Balkan wars. How is it even possible to not know where Serbia and other ex-Yugoslavian republics are.
Northernlion: "I'm doing great!"
Balkans: "Allow us to introduce ourselves."
I'm from Europe and I couldn't do better with Balkans than he did.
Every eurovision is an update of the balkans
@@tomasschoenmaker6752 Oh okey so F.Y.R. Macedonia is North Macedonia now... Ah, I'll note that down.
@@arciks11 *cries in balkans*
@@arciks11 then i guess youre not from europe if you dont even know the continent you live on
Albania was in fact not right below Croatia
They really should move it there. It's a much better spot.

@@jayrymer2097 Germany invaded Poland and started World War 2
@@iskar02 Oh wow! That's a little extreme
@@jayrymer2097 That's what Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain said.
I like how he says that "Malta? Can't be done" when Malta is literally circled.
Northernlion: "Arrows are easy, every country should be arrows"
Also Northernlion: "Liechtenstein can't be clicked on. It can't be done"
I can't wait until he does the Asian map and goes insane trying to figure out the -stan countries
if only the enclaves were clickabel. that would be hell
A friend taught me that Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan are arranged in alphabetical order if you go clockwise in a circle (or circle-ish shape...) from Kazakhstan
@@EarlOfWarwick1561 nice one! :)
@@EarlOfWarwick1561 damn im gonna use this from now on haha
I just memorized that Turkmenistan was the closest to Turkey and that Kyrgyzstan was the furthest, and Kazakhstan is the big boy. Everything else falls into place
dawg seeing you miss serbia so many times i was sending you my serbian energy with each click brother
“Austria and Hungary are next to eachother” so profound 😭😭😭
WWI flashbacks
I was puzzled by the amount of trouble he had with Austria. They speak German in Austria. Not hard to guess which country it borders.
@@zorkan111 Well, to be fair, they speak English in the USA...
@@zorkan111 i mean i'm from europe, we had to learn most of the map and i learned where austria was last week when i took it upon myself to learn every european country no skip boarderless soo

The EU audience is pogged Ryan, thank you for this blessing
There are a lot of us!
Man even after having to learn those countries during Geography class, I still for the life of me can't figure out the south-eastern states. Big props to this man.
I wanted to like your comment, but seeing that it's at 420, I'll leave it at that. But consider one more person agreeing with you.

NL: *I‘ll be the judge of that*
F-Bomb dropped means European geography tilts him more than near anything else lol
I spent 30 minutes memorizing these countries just so I could pretend the answers were obvious and shout "come on!" when NL missed one.
NL inspiring me to be better.
some POGGED content for us Europeans
A fan from the baltic peninsula here, keep it up Ryab
Ah yes, from either Swestonia, Norvia or Finhuania I see
I will start calling Scandinavia that just to piss people off
12:41 i screamed at my monitor because croatia won't let bosnia swim
NL doing africa, asia, and south america would be poggy esp. bc so many of us in north america don’t learn the geography of these places well!
You should try them on the website. It's worth it imo
Took me a bit to get africa and asia locked down.
Well, do you even know all the countries and dependent territories of North America? Or do you mean USA/Canada by saying “North America”?
It was actually very impressive for a guy from NA. After that video where Americans claim every foreign language to be Spanish I expected much worse
Yeah it's seriously impressive, if you'd ask me to do north America (including the Carribbean and central America) I'd take at least as long.
Apology accepted

Is NL maybe a lil green deficient? Him just clicking the centre of Belgium each time trying to click Luxemburg might be a thing.
There are quite a few cars here in Belgium with Luxemburg license plates (for tax purposes), I imagine that's what he sensed.
@@gunterke Is there not also a Belgian province called Luxembourg near the border to the country Luxembourg?
Its the new monitor man
@@SebLP97 yes. Long history short, It was split up.
This video truly does demonstrate what a huge plus i've got when it comes to european geography for being from the balkans. Trying to make heads or tales of our geography is equivalent to trying to make heads or tales of our history x)
Honestly I'm insanely impressed with that 31/47 if that really was his first go. Quality content Mr. Worldwide
As a Dutchman, I am also waiting for us and Belgium to kiss and make up. We used to be one country..
bolo bro
@@MrJemoeder1990 bolo
I mean then the one half of Belgium would go to France
Why? We've got different cultures, I don't see a problem with them staying their own country.
We have to start making extra jokes about the French if they join us, what's the fun in that....
Gotta respect this man's title game.
Sorry from Belgium for being so tricky to put on the map. Also for the serial killers. Please enjoy the waffles and saxophones!
I'm pogged out of my continent
"this is a mountain range it can't be clicked on" *everybody in luxembourg screaming inside*
The amount of times he clicked on Serbia for something else just to click not even on Serbia when he had it down to 2 is so titling
Cheers from the country that touches the Black sea lol! When we are only known for the body of water beside us. XD
Ah in these games every country is just a shape, like a jigsaw piece, don't take it personally. 😁
"Luxembourg", *Clicks on the Green part of Belgium*
Wonder why that didn't work

this is my way of learning geography, listen to bald man go insane over serbia
NL pog city for the EU gang. On thing: “Poland, we have to wait on Germany for that one” im sure we don’t want a repeat of that.
As a part of EU audience, I greatly appreciate this video. I'm honestly impressed.
Why do you guys think Americans are bad at geography it’s just that most of the states don’t teach it in school
@@laserkiwi7549 I don't think Americans are bad at geography. Quite naturally they just know their states better than europeans and vice versa. It's cool that the egglord managed to figure out the exact location of each country by memory. I would struggle as much as him if I was asked to show the location of every usa state, for example. But an average person from either continents would suck at doing the same task for african countries, nothing wrong with that.
give him some slack, he's one of the few north americans that can name more than 5 countries
I could name all
Gambia
Senegal
Ivory Coast
Maldives
Sychelles
Reunion

"Watch a boomer struggle with ex-Yugoslavian territories for 30mins straight"
I was live for this. It felt so much longer than half an hour.
I've never heard of my country being referenced as a "little bit of string", but we take what we can ;)
EU citizen here. Got it done in three attempts (pesky Balkans, those countries weren't there when I was learning the geography). But of course it is not fair, so I chose another game - 50 states of USA. My day is ruined and bro, I feel your pain.
EU citizen? What nationality are you? Unionist? xd EU is not a country, its an international organization. Lets keep it that way
Your comment on not knowing hardly anything about Africa was so familiar to me. About six years ago I came to the same realisation, listing those exact same three countries as the only ones I knew. Then I went on Seterra and was amazed at how quickly it was possible to learn this stuff. Hooked on a geography-rush, I went on from there to learn the states, the countries of both Americas, Europe and Asia, and eventually got around to memorise all of the Oceanic island nations. Now all I'm lacking is any real insight or knowledge about the countries that I'm able to place.
This minesweeper-no-border extreme version had me real close to raging though.
Hes not a boomer, hes a millenial.
bruh why did he keep clicking belgium when it said luxembourg
Him clicking Serbia when Kosovo came up is extremely based unintentional political commentary
All those hours I spent on HOI4 are finally worth for something
Can't believe how entertaining you actually made that. Major Bill Burr energy. 'You love to see it'.
Austrian viewer here. I accpet ur apology 🤗
Thats the second time he roasted us tho lol
I was heavy Pogging when you clicked right Czechia for the first time! POG! Also greetings from Czech Republic. Good job
Can't wait to visit the mountains between Belgium and Germany 😭
Former Yugoslavia republics for the win
Oh the mountain ranges between Belgium and Germany you rise so high up. :)
NL: EU viewers, this is for you!
Me, citizen of non-EU European country: K.
Luxembourg MAYBE gets monitor excuse but why Lichtenstein? It's literally an arrow
I also don't understand why Luxembourg isn't an arrow too. It's not that big and it's difficult to make it out on this map.
@@RetsamX no
@@axelnils
Amazing point
@@RetsamX yes
@@RetsamX the size of Lichtenstein to Luxembourg is pretty different, both are small but Lichtenstein is smaller than Luxembourg by a factor of like 10.
Surprisingly good at this. Most Americans and probably quite a few Canadians as well don't care much for Europe
america bad amirite fellas
@@Medium_Johnson well, that's not what i was saying here.
how poetic to have the most trouble in kosovo albania serbia, teaches you a lesson, doesnt it ?
Never ask:
- a man his salary
- a woman her age
- Northernlion where Serbia is
That's actually pretty good! I am European and I would not have done much better a few years back (now I am really into geography)
Never seen a man make geographer so tense and exciting 😆. Thanks for the much needed entertainment NL
The youngest boomers alive are 57 years old.
How is he a boomer?
It is indeed funny when millennials refer to others who aren't even close to being gen-x as boomers. Idiots be idioting (sic). That said, in his case being North American and able to point out more than five European countries on a map makes probably him educated enough to use the term tongue-in-cheek. 🤣🤣🤣
him: "we're gonna give it a pass"
me: "you can pass?!"
I remember when it was 30 Year Old Boomer
no joke ive learned (and remembered) more from your videos than from 6 years of geography
The baby boom generation ends in 1964 or 65. If he's 32, this guy is at least 24 years too young to be a Boomer.
That's what a boomer would say
That was fun. To be honest, your european geography was pretty good from the get go.
5:25 was so frustrating, it's literally the only grey place left but he clicks all around it like "it can't be done"
As an Austrian viewer I laughed, and I laughed and I laughed.
NL never did learn where Luxembourg was
luxembourg merge with belgium and the netherlands challenge
11:43 "This is a mountain range." there is not a lot of things that is less like a mountain-range than that general area xD
32 year old boomer makes a 20 yo zoomer's life better once again:)
Thanks for the company, NL!
@@brucewillixaspirinix9652 I think these are just funny comments and nothing more. Still can t believe that guy is onky 32
As a European, I respect the hustle, even thou you called my country a little string and a cool ribcage XD
That was so tilting to watch but in a fun way :D I love how you barely held it together when you went down to just Serbia and Montenegro, then clicked the wrong one :D
"EU" is NOT Europe. It's the European Union, a loose supranational bond of contracts and agreements among a lot of European countries but not all. The goal is to unify and facilitate economy, politics and education between countries. For exmaple, new medical pharmaceutical products undergo a lot of testing, restrictions etc. so they can be sold and consumed by EU countries, it makes it easier to ship and sell and much more trustworthy since multiple countries agree on the products' safety. Also, education, working and travelling are much easier and require no visa and paper work.
The EU is like NASA or WWF or Green Peace or The Red Cross. An organisational body/entity made out of many other countries.
Also, the EU is 'Murrica's most important trade partner. That should be taught in America since it's all about economy over there.
As someone who used to live in a Balkan country, this was nothing short of entertaining lmaooo
As a Bosnian, you mistaking Serbia for Bosnia AND Kosovo made my day.
As a kosovar it made my day too
He really struggled with the territories of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire
Slavonia? Vojvodina? Transylvania? Zakarpattia? It seems like you're stuck in the past. He didn't struggle with territories of Austria-Hungary since they are not on the map of Europe anymore.
@@lapsijahti "He really struggled with the territories of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire"
"the former Austro-Hungarian Empire"
"former"

There is at least one Austrian viewer here! Love your videos, keep the egghead going.
Bro I tackled this quiz the exact same way!! Learned EU geography in an hour and pogging!!
This is like me when I, as a European, tried to do this with the states. I mean those republican states from Montana to Tennessee, they can almost go into any order for all I know xD.
You are gonna have fun learning about Guinea, Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea my friend.
Well that dedication to completion deserves recognition 👏
Love your content! Always amazed by your knowledge!
Ah yes, the famous mountain range of Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands :D
as an EU i am pogged
He did this to get more points in schlag den star
2021-32=1989, this dude's not even old enough to be Gen X!
You're 32?? Damn dude, you must have had a hard life :)
As an Austrian, I weep
Me, sittin here, hoping he got some anecdote to my lovely home country Austria ... "I am not fully convinced it actually exists..."
Interesting. The tiny sliver of grey space between Belgium, Germany and Netherlands makes me think that should be (former) Moresnet, meaning this website was build between 1816 and 1920.
I search it up and I found it was made in 1820
Hey my man, can I give you many thumbs up for that clutch Ukraine guess. Even correct pre war map there. Mad respect bro
