Flicking through an Atlas reading facts & figures [ASMR Maps]

In this relaxing ASMR maps video I am flicking through an atlas, reading facts and figures about different countries around the world, and doing some map tracing using a bamboo stick pointer. I will also ramble about history and geopolitics, so this is a geography lesson too!
DESCRIPTION
In this interesting ASMR video I am exploring the world using a paper map atlas. The video is calming and relaxing, hopefully helping you with sleep problems and insomnia. I am speaking in a male deep voice with a Welsh accent and switch between soft spoken and whisper voice. Today we look at Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Africa, Antarctica, the Arctic circle, Brazil, and the EU.
FEATURES
I hope you like this ASMR Geography and Map video! It contains tracing, whispers and some soft spoken parts with a Welsh accent.

    Some comments to the currency part: 1) Croatia is a part of the eurozone since 2023, ditching the Kuna 2) Austria used to have schillings and Slovenia had tolars

    I don't think there is a north hemisphere bias on world maps. (and Africa is mostly a northern hemisphere continent^^) It's just the closer to each pole the more stretched, the closer to the equator the more compressed Fun fact: about 9 in 10 people worldwide lives north of the equator

    28:06 the book says the name of this statistic is "wealth" but the definition provided is actually annual income (formally, "Gross Domestic Product per capita"). Assuming the map is colored according to GDP per capita, I believe it is more or less accurate. Converting GDP per capita to US dollars is a common convention to compare countries with different currencies, but there are multiple ways to do it, primarily depending on whether you just use market exchange rates or you adjust for the relative cost of living. So you can look up three different sources of GDP per capita for the same countries and same years and end up with slightly different results. The one statistic that stands out as wrong is that they list Luxembourg as having a GDP per capita of $73,910, but all sources I checked report it as the richest country in Europe, with GDP per capita exceeding $100K.

So I'd like to know whether you have any local shops in your city or in another place in Wales. And what do you think about this publishing house at all? Thanks for your feedback in advance

  • @RasRoK

    Most African countries were colonized by European countries such as France, Great Britain, etc. When it came to defining borders between colonies, they did not bother much and made them straight, which often led to interethnic conflicts, because minerals were found in the territories. I am Russian and the message was written through a translator, sorry for the mistakes.

    Hello from your local Geordie, I love this type of ASMR. Interestingly makes me sad kinda, might sound silly but I often wish the Scottish border wall moved past Newcastle/Wearside or that we could have our own mini gov lol. The neglect and poverty is gettin really bad. Ps Your accent is also lush 👌
