Mini-bio: My name is Brady. I'm 24 years old and am a graduate student in history. I started this channel as something fun to do while I finish my schooling. My primary area of study ranges roughly from the American Revolution through the first sixty years of the 19th century. While I am a historian (with a B.A. in Liberal Arts), I am a very new historian. I am more of a learner than a teacher, so I use the react format to do a little bit of both. Also, flags are fun, and I like them very much... and video games... and maybe some other stuff. While my videos are not all history related, this channel has a serious social studies bend to it.
Bird Note: I have a bird, his name is Peridot (Peri for short). You may see him appear in some videos and not others. While he has quickly become the channel's mascot, he only appears in videos when he feels like it. I don't force him to come on camera, he just likes being around hoomans, and I am hooman. Also, understand that birds are a lot of work, so don't go out and get one impulsively just because mine appears behaved in my videos. Bird parenting is a full-time job.

bro i love brady now starts discovering and reacting to all the great channels i've been watching for years its like showing a friend something you like
There is one youtube channel you are nvr allowed to skip the ad reads on and that's Jay Foreman. There's some hilarious ad reads on his channel and many even come close to rivalin the main channel content heh
I'd love to see more Jay Foreman from you, a suggestion though: Go from old to new in order. I think it would be the respectable thing to do to allow original creations to have a period to garner traffic naturally before others begin poaching them for reaction. This video is the newest one he made and he might still have viewers to attract for it.
Yes! Please do more Jay Foreman
5:09 remember that's a projection if you bring canada closer to the equator those rectangles become more squareish

I would recommend Jay Foreman's Unfinished London Series, once you are done Map Men.
Fun fact: if Spain was made of the union of Castile and Portugal rather than Castile and Aragon, it would have been a virtually perfect square.
i would love to see more jay foreman, i love his london series!

What about Corsica and French Guyana?
My guess was Equatorial Guinea. I didn't account for the island. :/
Did anyone else realise that the phone from the ad at the end is being held by a foot?
Jay has a ton of grt good music out there and much of it is also kinda educational too He also does a lot of hilarious childrens songs (not sure if he still does, but theres a lot of old ones still)
the reason Jay's so good at music is that before he had a KZread channel he was a comedy musician
React to one of the Horrible Histories songs.

Yes you would love the Horrible Histories songs if you like this. And it links to history instead of geography; even better.

For the colonies it depends on how they are set up, take the netherlands, where some colonies are countries in the Kingdom of the netherlands, The Netherlands is also a country in the kingdom of the Netherlands, so saying those previously mentioned colonies are colonies of the netherlands is not correct, as The netherlands and the kingdom of the netherlands are two seperate enteties. France has not the same system, but you have terretories belonging to France, and then parts of French republic outside of Europe, so French Guyana, is a part of the French Republic, its citizens are french citizens, they vote in French elections, and are citizens of the EU, meanwhile citizens of the French Side of St.Martin are not, so France (whos mainland is not square anyway but for this example lets say it was) Would be DQed since French Guyana is very much not a square.
Yaaaaay! More Map Men, I beg you!
I wonder what the squarest country would be if you allow more different existing map projections

@ number. ever heard of algebra?
The rectangles in Canada are much more square but the map makes them rectangular...
The issue with african borders by atlas pro is good
So depending on the projections the canadian provinces are much square than they appear. This is using a Mercader projection which stretches them way to much.
Yes jay foreman is the best

cloinies don't really exist any more, they are from the time of empires, now the colinies have rebelled or the old emprors have created things like the common wealth. Also if you have colinies they are added to your empire not you country. for example a british coliny was India and you wouldn't call it Great Britain as before it was a coliny is was a rules by its own govment and therefore a country.

France disagrees. French Guyana and Wallis and Fortuna are parts of France.
I love the map men and their stuff! Having seen their hilarious original vid, though, this one here didn't add anything significant.

i actually kinda doubt egypt is the squarest of the ones we've seen. both from "border straightness" and "how much of its area overlaps with its bounding square"... might be worth actually running the math on
