Hey Tom. If you're looking for a video idea then I've got one that may be good or may be a complete car crash (pun to become evident). I was watching a dash cam compilation video and saw one of the clips was somewhere I recognised so I jumped onto Google maps to have a look at the area. Then while I was looking I thought that dash cam clips could work as a pseudo Geoguessr and we'd also have some poor driving to laugh at as well. So the video idea is to use a dash cam compilation video (you'll have to be careful because some give the location) then try and locate the exact location on Google Earth. I think there's many factors that make it compelling. You've got the different camera qualities might make signs easier or harder to read, different clip lengths give varying bits of info, different looks of different areas, different accents of the drivers when they are swearing at other drivers. All aspects which slightly change it from Geoguessr enough to make it more unique. You can also partake in the dash cam compilation comments tradition of naming a TotW (Tw*t of the Week).

Why ever not? The two countries have intertwined histories - sometimes hostile, sometimes not. And they have been allies, more or less, ever since the Entente Cordiale, about 125 years ago.

Would be interesting if Hugequiz published the average european borders

On the one hand this is incredibly impressive. I wouldn’t have the first idea how 2/3 of the countries are shaped much less which other countries they border but you could have made this so much more accurate by zooming in more and following rivers lakes etc.

On the first day of AP European History class during my senior year of high school in 1999, my teacher had everyone draw a map of Europe on a blank sheet of paper. We also had to label all the countries and many of the most important physical features. My map was so accurate that many people accused me of cheating or even tracing a real map. Of course I scored the highest and I still have this map over 25 years later so I can make a video showing everyone eventually. I definitely would have done a really good job with this game than Tom!
