GeoWizard attempts to name all 197 country outlines (harder than it looks)

You've seen me attempt to pinpoint every country on a map, name every US state and identify every world flag. But have you seen me attempt to identify every single country in the world based on it's outline?
I've spent a lot of time looking at atlases and world maps in my time and I'm not afraid to say that I was expecting this one to go better than it did. Something strange happens when you remove a country's neighbours..

    @@christophernicolson5086, True but at the time of the dissolution of the USSR all the former soviet states, bar the Baltic States, agreed to join the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The CIS encouraged cooperation in economic, political and military affairs and had certain powers relating to the coordination of trade, finance, lawmaking, and security, including cross-border crime prevention. Those were the terms on which Crimea voted to remain part of Ukraine at that time. However, since the formation of the CIS, Ukraine moved away from cooperating with the other states, applied to join NATO, left the CIS and had the violent anti Russian revolution in 2014 that, among other things, removed Russian as an official language, so the circumstances in which Crimea voted to stay in Ukraine after the dissolution of the USSR had changed radically and permanently by 2014. I have no doubt that the people of Crimea would now prefer to be part of Russia because of all these changes since they voted to be part of Ukraine in 1990.

    Joining CIS wasn't binding and Ukraine never joined. It's pretty defunct now for everyone. It applied to join NATO after being invaded. The only thing that made 2014 violent or a revolution was Yanukovich ordering the firing on civilians and then fleeing. So they were demonstrating, big deal there are demonstrations and marches and protests all the time. My country doesn't have official languages but ofcourse Russia wanted everyone to know and be taught Russian otherwise their propaganda is ineffective. I don't see it as a big deal, still not a reason to start an invasion.

Even more that you guessed the Republic of Korea first but not us despite the distinct DMZ that we both share. For future reference, Kosovo is one of only two places that has their outline on their flag, the other is Cyprus. Though I'm sure Serbia was having a field day at you skipping over them. I think the country that stands out the most is The Gambia because of the fact you can see it surrounds a river and thus it's shaped like an intestine. France controlled what's now Senegal but the UK insisted on keeping their settlements around the Gambia River, so they agreed in principle in 1889.

    I enjoy doing the Seterra world map quiz (I usually play "Place the Labels" and play a custom quiz that includes 236 countries and territories). I think that website has a quiz similar to this one too, but it also has flag quizzes, bodies of water quizes, and many other ones. The site is run by Geoguessr!

    Hawaii and Alaska being left out of the US country outline like 👁👄👁. Barby from Geography Now once said that the Comoros looks like a bunch of dinosaur heads, and I can't unsee it. It's a perfect way to remember the country (more like ComoROAR). And the name of the island split between the DR and Haiti is Hispaniola! Find it funny you said how Haiti shared it with DR and then when the DR finally comes up at 13:12, you said "No chance" 😂. A way I like to describe Cuba and the rest of the Caribbean is that Cuba is a giant vacuum that's cleaning up a floor filled with crumbs and dust aka the smaller Caribbean islands. And no, Guadeloupe is not a country. It is an overseas department/region of France! It means it has powers identical to departments in Mainland France! It is also considered an outermost region of the EU, so just like the rest of France, it uses the euro, and any EU citizen can live and work there indefinitely. Though it is NOT part of the Schengen Area due to its overseas status.

    To give you an idea how long it takes to do all without Googling: I did all 196 yesterday and it took me about 3 hours and 15 minutes, without googling anything besides how I had to spell 'Comoros'. I kept typing in 'Comores' lol... It was tough, but I wanted to do it as a challenge. The good things is, you can keep typing in until it's correct, of course. What helped me a lot was the funny song 'Nations of the world' by 'The Animaniacs', since I know the lyrics :D

The last three I got were Belgium, Lebanon and Cambodia, very easy for the shapes to just blur together.

    15:10 i assume the reason why the small countries look so "big" here is because they have been massively scaled up in order to fit nicely into that box area, which would be why algeria was scaled down to fit, so they all kinda look the same size just because they've been zoomed in or out very far. which clearly makes this challenge much harder because when scanning the geoguessr map, you are used to seeing these countries be vastly different in size relative to each other
