25 Countries You Didn't Know Existed And They're Amazing!

[@patticampana9458]

What an awesome video! All of these places are beautiful! I just hope tourists don't ruin them. How pure and peaceful they seem. Thanks ✌️

[@joshuablakeney2983]

The established titles DOES NOT OFFICIALLY MAKE YOU A LORD OR LADY. They are unaffiliated with any royalty anywhere. It's a gimmick to make you buy a tree. If you want to plant a tree there are other organizations that will be a better place to donate money.

[@therestingrancor8259]

Yeah Mike, we suggest doing a research deep dive on Established Titles, they are dodgy!

[@Escviitash]

Unlike the English titles Lord and Lady, Laird is not a title of nobility even if the official translation suggests it. It is simply a land owner. But in order to actually become a Laird, you must be able to live on and live off the land you own, at least to some degree, i.e it contains hunting grounds, fields, gardens or alike, a well as a residence, so at least 5 acres. Also the sites selling the plots don't own the land that they sell to you, and thus have no legal right to sell it to you. So even if the was possible to live on such a small piece of land, you would not be the legal owner of the land, which is one of the requirements for being a Laird. And Established Titles has, knock on wood, never planted a single tree, so you are basically just paying for a fake certificate.

[@Lostwithquestion]

Keep finding same info. The minister will not recognize the "lord" nor "lady" titles.

[@mighty_descendants]

But to Americans if you own the tree you own the land if you own the land you can claim whatever title you want. Welcome to American style lol

[@xinixini1826]

It's also an "Honorary plot of land" so you own absolutely nothing. The physical "certificate" thingy is also extra so by the end of paying for everything you've spent over $200ish for... someone to "maybe" plant a tree somewhere, probably not on that plot.

[@jackrobmusic]

I've been to Grenada, St. Kitts & Nevis, and Dominica and they were all amazing places to go. And a fun fact about Dominica it has a lake so hot you can boil an egg in it.

[@iamlwazzi]

I watched a video today where someone called out Established Titles for being a scam

[@420jacksonian]

i went to Dominica about 25 yrs ago, we were supposed to go to Grenada, but it was ripped apart from a hurricane. Dominica was beautiful, trafalga falls was too, there a 2 waterfalls next to each other, and a bunch of locals were jumping from the top of one in to a lake below.they dont get many tourists and was no plumbing at the time though. they filmed an episode of naked and afrasd there also

[@ailsaphinoir5130]

Please have a look into Established Titles. It's not a legitimate law. You can't use "lord" or "lady" officially just anywhere, you get what is called a "souvenir plot" which is not protected under Scottish law. It belongs by law to the landlord who sold it.

[@jcfreak4ever1]

I've heard of almost all of these places, despite never having been to any of them. lol It's thanks to me studying and scrutinizing physical maps out of sheer boredom that I know the names of almost all of these places, especially the tiny ones that are kinda hard to see on a paper map of the world... 😝

[@wfs63]

You mixed up Togo with Tonga. The place you showed on the map was Togo. The location you describe is Tonga which is a Pacific Island nation. Also. Niue is part of New Zealand and New Caledonia is part of France. And I have heard of all of these places and can locate any nation on a map!

[@R4r4Gamez]

Right! I was so confused when he said "islands"

[@bostonrailfan2427]

Niue is independent and has been since 1994 but freely associates with New Zealand…

[@rusnikfromtranscarpathia]

Awesome #1! Dominica is where PoC2 was filmed. My kid brother went to Ross University there, one of the world's most Intensive Prestigious Medical Colleges (now relocated to Bahama due to Hurricane wipeout) 😢 him & his young family lived there for the time he attended, was awarded the Prestigious President's College Honor 3 years in a row! He could be a Doctor ANYWHERE in the world, naming his own price of salary! 😱 Dominica is very Beautiful, Natural Waterfalls, Black Sandy Volcanic Beaches, Clear blue water, snorkeling & diving, Sea fishing, friendly people,,,the Lionfish in an invasive species there, so it's 'open season' year round, fish/kill/eat as many as you want,,,unlimited!

[@saulthechicanootaku]

Here's a plot twist! What if we already knew about these countries, especially with the knowledge that some of these country's flags have red to represent THE BLOOD OF THOSE WHO FOUGHT FOR THE FREEDOM! As always, good video, Mike, and I hope you might be able to do collabs in the future. May I suggest Coffeehouse Crime, aka, Adrian, for any crime related episodes, like 25 missing people? Also, fun fact, St Kitts and Nevis is the birth country of Alexander Hamilton, thus giving inspiration to Lin-Manuel Miranda to re-imagine the founding father as a Puertorrican!

Togo is on the Ivory Coast. The main language is French. While there are some islands off the coast, the country has benefited from the Chinese road building efforts to access their ores, cutting back the time it takes to get there. It has two hospital compounds that serve the people who live there.

[@missyc4463]

I knew many of these, but I do live in Oceania.

[@andeeharry]

I wonder why they don't get mentioned, thanks for sharing this

[@chanellenash2893]

I’d heard of Palau due to watching the mysterious island.

[@ethankajfosz5912]

As a geography buff, I actually know ALL of these countries. For #14, it’s actually just called “Brunei” and the “Darussalam” part is a formal part of its name. For #9, it’s actually named Tonga, not Togo. For numbers #5 and #4, I would not recommend any travel to Benin or Burkina Faso, especially since they’re a bit war torn.

[@hmpz36911]

Where's Meth Island?

[@ethankajfosz5912]

Survivor featured many of these locations in their seasons. Also, the effects of European colonialism runs deep as many of these countries were colonies up until the early 21st century.

I know that you apologized for the pronunciation of some of these nations, but I'd like to take the opportunity to correct you about some of these, especially in the backdrop as a proud St. Vincent and the Grenadines 🇻🇨 and Caribbean citizen, just so you know: 1. Nevis is pronounced "NEE-vis". 2. Grenada is pronounced "gre-NAY-da", not Gra-na-da. 3. Dominica is pronounced "Domi'ni-ka". 4. St. Kitts and Nevis is THE smallest sovereign state in the western hemisphere (261 km² and about 50,000 people), not Grenada (348.5 km² and about 125,000 people).

Beautiful places Mike, but I HAVE heard of 90% or more of them. And I'm not a true traveler! I have lived in NC & KY thanks to Uncle Sam, also Europe & taken short bus tours to several countries, but not exactly a Grand Tour! For instance, when we went to Italy, we could see the border gates from the parking lot! So MAYBE 200 yd in-country. My home is GA, but I've also I've in IL & AZ. I've set foot in every state east of the Mississippi except RI, plus in TX & NM. I noticed most, if not all of the places on your list are in the South Pacific, Caribbean, & Africa. I'd like to add one from Europe. Liechtenstein. A small, mountainous country hidden between Austria & Switzerland. I was there on a bus tour on the 4th of July & we threw snowballs at each other. As everywhere I've seen in the Alps, it is a beautiful place. If I were to inherit Donald's or Elon's money, I think I'd move there!

I had been big on Geography when in my teens, and I suspect at least two of these countries I did not recognize had a different name when I was young, still, I enjoyed the list very much. Kiribati especially is a favorite place I would like to see before it is gone; Climate Change is causing the islands of the country to be lost under the ocean. Most of the original population was evacuated to other nearby Isalnd countries because there is NO shelter from cyclones at this point. Last I heard, there were 12 citizens left, including a leader and some people who continued to work there, despite the dangers. I'd suspect that visiting the country depends on the weather as well as the long ride on a boat to reach it. It is far too small for an airport!
