Fun Facts About The Republic of Cheesistan:

1.  The Republic of Cheesistan is the world's smallest country.

2.  The Republic of Cheesistan has the world's small capital—Microphoneville.

3.  The Republic of Cheesistan has the smallest population of any country in the world.

4.  The Republic of Cheesistan has the densest population.

5.  Despite being named after cheese, currently all of the cheese in the Republic of Cheesistan is imported from other countries.  However, this may change if Rhett were to accomplish his life goal of learning the art of cheese making.


Personally, I hate cheese. I'm not lactose intolerant or anything. But the taste and smell make me gag.  But I still love GMM and GMMore.

That moment when you remember Link is a president of something

[regenfuzion]

I made a country. Its called bed and its illegal to do anything besides eating, sleeping and watching youtube.

My favorite story of the week is the guy who is trying to make his own country JUST SO HIS DAUGHTER CAN BE A PRINCESS!! IM DYING OF CUTENESS

[MeinLebenmitVideos]

When they mentioned the thing about Antarctica, I thought about it and it brought about a sense of beauty. The Idea that it's everyone's land, and not just a specific people's is beautiful, because that's the way it should all be, and that's the way it was suppose to be. They are all united as one. This world should belong to everyone, and we should be able to share things, like land or other possessions, with other people, but then people decided they wanted to control it all, and then killing started and it got out of hand. We're all people, we're all the same. Our human society was never meant to be corrupt the way it is. We all live here on Earth, so there shouldn't be anyone who controls the land, or tells us what we can and can't do. It's just not right. The first humans were held with the responsibility of defining the human race, and their poor decisions then got passed down and caused us to believe that this is what being human really means. They put a bad name to humans. Why can't the world just be Antarctica?

[rayhs]

I was just thinking that the wheel suggestion would be funnier if we didn't know what it was and they did it without telling us then it came up on the screen at the end or was in the description.

[fleurpoe]

he is LITERALLY going to send this to the united nations.
And I'm like the only person in the comment section freaking out about this.
wow.

[IpseTreevor]

To make one correction concerning Antarctica: each of those like 9 countries have claimed specific pieces of land, and have not let go of them, even with the Antarctic treaty. The countries can't really do anything but research at this point in Antarctica, but each nation builds bases within its own "borders." There is a large chunk of Antarctica that remains unclaimed land.

[iannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

This is one of the best episodes of GMM ever

[svartdraken]

_Well... I was seriously thinking about creating a new Country, I was reading some serious articles and I was looking for some videos about that, when I found this one... I know that it's for fun, but can I really do that? For example, If I had to create my own Country, it would be like:_

*Country Name:* Overland (OLN)
*Capital City:* Computown
*Extension:* About 10, 5 square meters
*Location:* Europe
*Type of Government:* Kingdom
*King:* Me
*Queen:* My girlfriend
*Population:* Me and my girlfriend (she doesn't know that yet, I'll tell her tomorrow)
*Flag:* Android Material-Design inspired theme with various black and yellow shades
*Currency:* Euros
*Motto:* Frangar, non flectar
*Relationships with other states:* Alliance with my friend's Kingdom of Xboxland
*Founding Date:* 02/01/2016

Now I want to start my own country too...
Fortunately, I have thought of these types of things in case this situation ever comes up.
According to my list I made a while ago,
my country's name will be Danlandia (even though my name isn't Dan)
my currency will be made of Dents, Goggles, and Googols (10 Dents make a Goggle, 10 Goggles make a Googol),
my country's flag is the outline of the country's shape,
and my national anthem's lyrics comprise of only "Shoot it with a shotgun."

I may need to make a few changes.

These guys seem to be the only Americans that know what real cheese is.

[Batt_Mrown]

True Story: I was over at a friends house having a team breakfast and he had Babybel cheese and I took the layer of plastic off and I asked one of the Freshmen "What is this?" and he responded "Red Cheese" ...So I accidentally ate the wax covering the cheese..hehe

[RazorSharpClaws]

I know how to make cheese. Mozzarella, cheddar, manchego, parmesan, etc. I hereby submit my application to become the Head Cheesemaker of Cheesistan. Meaning the chief cheesemaker, not a person who makes head cheese, because that is different and gross.
