At 3:42 we used the outdated term 'aborigines'. We apologise for not paying careful enough attention to our language, and we're sorry if we upset anyone. Thanks to those who have pointed it out - we always welcome feedback and will happily post corrections.

"Monopoly over violence" as opposed to the much more common "Violence over Monopoly"

Watching this with my six-year-old daughter, she exclaimed "He should be called Stupid Hill".
Consider yourself absolutely ROASTED, Stuart Hill.

My unis “claim to fame” was declaring ourselves an independent country in 1980 to protest education cuts. The “Free Republic of Keele” declared themselves independent of the UK, made their own passports, had their own enforced border control and their own national anthem. Apparently, they sent a letter of state recognition to every nation and got a response from Cuba This one response meant that Keele University became its own seperate state away from the UK, literally within the borders of Keele Uni was a completely seperate country. This lasted all of 3 days until HM Army invaded Keele University and conquered the state to get it back into the UK

YouTube "how to" videos are getting a bit extreme nowadays

The difference between South Sudan and others is that the country they broke away from recognized them. Sudan says there is a South Sudan, so nobody bothers to contest it.

As a Scotsman I recognise Forvik as an independent nation with a responsible governing body

You sign off "Yours faithfully" when you began the letter "Dear Sir" or "Dear Madam". You sign off "Yours sincerely" if you began the letter with the person's name. In other words, the complementary close has to match the salutation.

SOUTH SUDAN!! I used the little pause you gave us to loudly show off the knowledge I got when I attended to the geopolitics class at the academy of sam o'nella in Delaware, hope you guys appreciate it

I think it's totally cool for someone to get a back tattoo of the world map, as long as the map projection was chosen and aligned properly, and then track which countries you've visited by filling them in, as long as you don't go around showing it off to people.

I wanted to see what the Canada joke was, so that led me to pausing and reading every one of the cards. Your hard work was not in vain, Map Men.

I'll happily admit that I read every single one of the cards.

5:16 I love how they took the time to print out a newspaper just for one scene! The amount of effort they put into these videos is insane. Keep it up!
Edit: Also look at 6:40, and 6:52. And yes Jay and Mark, I do read the print.

Mark doesn’t need to worry

The ad only lasted 2 minutes. That means that there he still has 4 minutes until countdown is on

Please never stop with your tiny little details hidden in your videos such as those surprisingly informative country cards or your hilarious UN country application (and it being hidden behind mark)
