YouTube recommended me this. I found it interesting, so I thought I'd share.

There's a lot of inaccuracies with the stated facts, but it's nice to listen to regardless (and interesting).
I don't think i learn anything. Beyond Kuwaiti having a high money value for their oil export.
I watched through these videos only to see what he says about Latvia.
"Latvia's independence day is on the 4th of may."
a real fun fact there, man
it's not even the real independence day
Man he couldn't just say a single fact about Hungary, or the other central EU countries he skipped?
"yeah these were part of the empire now moving on to Ukraine" :(
Yakko did it better.

I'd like to hear some of the things he got wrong.

He said Indonesia was under Portuguese rule, when it only ever owned a few islands next to Timor-Leste that were later sold.
He used the Netherlands for his description of the Spanish Netherlands, when Spain only controlled the Netherlands for ~20 years before they revolted, while Belgium lasted with Spain for over a century (kind of a nitpick).
He also said The Bahamas and Gambia were the only countries to use "the" in their official name, while glossing over that both Congo Republics use "the Congo" in their name.
Those are the ones I noticed, anyway.

I mentioned this in the original thread, but Slovenia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and is part of the EU, but he skipped over them when mentioning both.
