Here's a preview:
This map shows the world divided into 7 sections with each section containing 1 billion people
This map shows where 2 percent of Australia's population lives
It may not come as a surprise but more people live inside the circle than outside of it
This map shows what is on the other side of the world from where you are standing. For the most part it will probably be water.
Apparently you can't get Big Macs everywhere. This map shows the countries that have McDonalds in red
This time the countries in red drive on the right side of the road
The countries in white are the ones that England has never invaded. There are only 22 of them
These were all of the world's internet connections in 1969
And these are all the countries that heavily restrict internet access today
These countries were all communist at one point in time
These are the countries that don't use the metric system
This is a map of where google street view is available
These are all the landlocked nations of the world
And this is what the world would look like if all the countries with coastlines sank
This is a map of the all the rivers in the United States
And these are all the rivers that feed into the Mississippi River
This is a rather depressing map of the highest paid public employees in the United States
And this is the United States on the moon
This is the longest straight line you can sail. It goes from Pakistan all the way to Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia for a total of 20000 miles
This is a map of 19th century shipping lanes that outlines the continents
This map shows every country that has ever operated an aircraft carrier
This map highlights the countries with the most skyscrapers in red and orange
This map shows the world's largest donors of foreign aid
These are all of the most photographed places in the world
And this is all the places where you can get eaten by a Great White Shark

The reason why so many people live on the coast in Australia is because IT IS LITERALLY DESERT IN THE CENTRE!!!

How to live in Texas: "Y'all want a coke?" "Ya" "What kind?" "Dr. Pepper"

I really loved this but you should give us at least 5 seconds to ponder the maps.
-
Number 26 - These are the countries that don't masturbate.

3 minutes of your life that taught you more about the world than a full year of public school education.
-
I love the metric system one. It's really holding us back
-
0:58 are you implying that England invaded England?
-
Way to end it on a positive note

Being a collector of world maps, the largest discrepancy in most maps is the size of the Pacific Basin. If looking at a true scaled globe, the Pacific should take up roughly 95% of the visible area when looking at the center of the Pacific.

its never taken me longer to watch a 3 minute video
-
2:29 most of the ones in Egypt must be the pyramids lol
-
Ehm, I'm pretty sure Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Albania have McDonalds. I live in Serbia and we have them... :/ More than we should... :/
-
you forgot the map where you have more chances to get drown in your bathroom than being eaten by a white shark
-
@1:03 Love how the internet map shows 3 institutions in CA, then all of Utah.
-
The McDonald's map is bullshit. It shows Romania to not have McDonald's but I remember going to one when I was only 7 years old... and now I am 19. Even in my town we have one for over 5 years...
-
I think you'll find the countries in red drive on the 'wrong' side of the road. Snobby English Laughter
-
"Where you can get eaten by a great white" you're actually more likely to get hit by a meteor
-
0:48 Morocco is not shown as having McDonalds, but they do.
-
"And this is the united states on the moon"
