Can Europeans Answer Simple Geography Questions?

Ойын-сауық

I attended the EGM (Erasmus Generation Meeting), organised by @ESNInternational, where 900+ people from all over Europe gathered to shape the future of Europe. Since this is one of the biggest international events of ESN (Erasmus Student Network), I decided to test the participants' knowledge on Geography. Here's what happened.

    Sorry for the Italy/Ivory Coast mistake! Also for the "capital on the northern coast of Africa" question, as it was poorly phrased. I wanted to refer to the countries being located there, not (necessarily) the capitals. Same goes for the oldest country in the world, I should have said Republic instead. Thanks for all of your feedback and the love you've shown this video, I really appreciate it and promise to be a better interviewer in the next videos!

    @RandomAmerican🇺🇸 It all depends how you present it. If he asked these questions to random people on the street, I'm sure he could find a lot of people who wouldn't know. And then if you only put these people who have no clue in the video, it is easy to say "these guys are stupid". If you are asking university students, it is kind of expected that they should be able to answer the questions a bit better than general population.

    Now remember, they have to go through all countries AND translate evrything from their native language to english. Like the capitals - they are spelled differently in different languages. Like Rome has 4 letters in english but in my language it has only 3. This dual-language thinking is sometimes pretty insane.

    Not only are these definitly not "simple" Geography Questions, but the contestants had to answer them in english (not their first language). And you picked questions (especially the first ones) that get much, much harder in another language. I came up with like two capitals with 4 letters in german, and then I realized oh, no, in English it has more letters. Like, you would have to actively think of capitals in english and count their letters in the first place. That's more an english test than anything else.

    I agree, these were not easy questions. Naming a few landlocked countries is already somewhat challenging, but South America only has two: Bolivia and Paraguay. This is not general knowledge. Also, I would not have answered the olympic flag question correct either. I know Antarctica is not represented because when the logo was designed, people barely even had a research base there, but as far as I knew, Oceania was basically one big European colony when the olympic flag was designed. All the inhabitants of Oceania were either French, Portuguese, British or US citizens. I would have guessed one ring for both of the Americas, not one ring for Oceania.

    In their defence though, I myself have been playing Pokémon games as a kid (English text), many movies on TV were American with Dutch subtitles, as an early teenager I've also been playing Runescape and followed up by other MMORPGS where everyone uses English to communicate and later on I've been watching American series, anime with English dub a had 3 years English for 1 or 2h a week at school (didn't finish school, in that case I'd have 5 years of English). So yeah, subbed movies already accounted for much knowledge but playing games with an international public and cmmunicating on different channels in English and watching series and anime online makes it so that we get even more ways, chances and opportunities to get veyr proficient in it because the internet kinda 'forces' us so.

So they are known. I guess, if questioned, I'd say next to Baku (I doubt I would come with Yerevan on the spot, though) also Tbilisi, Ankara and then Ulaanbataar (or whatever its right spelling is), Kabul and then I'd recall there's New Delhi, Dhaka, Beijing, Tokio, Hanoi, Manila, Jakarta...
