A follow up to A Fun Fact About Every Country in the World. The best of the rest of the facts I had left over. 75 more interesting facts from countries of the world. Obviously not every country is included in this video. Many people were dissapointing that I didn't do the individual countries of the UK, plus Kosovo and Palestine. So I included them here.

After finishing my Country Fun Facts videos early this year, I still had so many fun facts left over, since I could only pick 1 fact per country. These are 75 more fun facts that I wanted to share, and hopefully make another interesting video to end the Country Facts 'mini-series'. If you want a more in-depth look at this video, as well as some "behind the scenes" type discussion, I put together a companion video over on Nebula. It's really not the type of video that would work well on KZbin, and I'd worry about it hurting my channel ranking within the KZbin algorithm. It's a laid-back video, with minimal editing, I decided to call it a "director's commentary". It's the kind of experimental content that Nebula is perfect for. Would love to hear some feedback, and maybe it's something I can do again in the future. The best way to get access to Nebula is definitely through our bundle deal with CuriosityStream, on-sale for just $14.79 for a whole year, which works out to just $1.23 per month. This really is far and away the single best way to support this channel, and more broadly educational content as a whole. Sign up with this link here: curiositystream.com/wonderwhy Shout-out to my Discord mods for helping me with this video: FosseKing, HighPeak, OTD, Adam, Bots, HZ. I'm looking to get some of my viewers involved in the video-making process to maybe try and put out videos a bit more frequently. I could help with anything from research, writing, sourcing images/footage and also checking videos for any errors. If that's something you might be interested in, or just want to come and chat with me or my viewers, come join the server at: discord.gg/QvQ2QECnb5 Thanks so much for watching. All the best for 2022.

Since, this mentioned about Manila is the most densely populated city in the world, here is an another fun fact in connection to that. It is totally believed that the density of Manila grow three times during daytime. It is because, most of the opportunities, like jobs and schools, are to be found in Manila. There are some people from other provinces, like Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna, and Cavite, travel all the way to Manila to seize opportunities. Of course, just like me, although I am living in Quezon City, I am traveling to Manila since the College I'm in is at Manila. I usually do it before pandemic comes.

But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith.

The japan train delay certificate is a thing because Japanese trains are so punctual, you can plan your commute down to the minute without the need for buffers. So if the schedule says this train leaves my station at 8:40 and reaches the next station at 8:43, where I could switch to another train that leaves at 8:44 and arrives at my company by 8:55, then I can go to my station everyday at 8:40 and expect both trains will arrive and leave on time and I'll get to my company without being late. But just like what's said in the video, if the first train delays for more than a few minutes and only arrives at 8:45, then I can't get to the next station on time to catch the 8:44 train there, and so I'll be late for work. This is where the late certificate comes in. This is the same reason why starting the train early is a problem.

The panda fact is not exactly true. The only exception are 1)Taiwan's panda (which i would not get into political issue) and 2)Zoológico de Chapultepec (Mexico city) pandas. The reason for mexico's is because they are obtain when the chinese government use them as gift in the 80s, before the loan rule.

[@trollmcclure2659]

Yes, Taiwan's panda couple was a gift from 2008, Taiwan can keep the babies, fun fact the combination of the panda couple's name mean "reunion" in Chinese.

[@liversuccess1420]

There is one thing in this excellently researched video that I think needs clarification. The border between the Spanish exclave of Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera and Morocco is technically shorter than the border between Botswana and Zambia. But the former is a border between a country and...an exclave. It is the shortest boundary between two separately governed entities. However, the Botswana-Zambia border is considered the shortest border between two contiguous nations, as exclaves are often categorized a little differently.

[@helterskelter9670]

4:08 I may add that this phenomenon is known as "Desierto Florido" (Desert bloom, or literally "flowerful desert") and it isn't that rare, usually around september-october (spring) some parts of the desert may bloom because of the seeds that lie beneath the ground of the region, making a beautiful landscape with colorful flowers. But it's true that 2015 was remarkable because of the magnitude of that year's blooming. I'm from Chile but I've never been able to see the Desierto Florido, I wish I could see it soon.

[@Schaaschaa]

France actually borders 11 countries, not 10. You missed the border with the Kingdom of the Netherlands on Saint Martin/Sint-Maarten.

[@Melesniannon]

This is probably because of something he explicitly mentioned: French Guiana is considered an *integral part* of the Republic of France. St. Martin is what is classed as a "collectivité d'outre-mer" which is semi-autonomous and thus not considered "an integral part" of the Republic of France.

About Monaco: Is it "they are not allowed to gamble" or "they are not allowed to gamble in the casinos"?

[@SpeedBoostTorchic]

All physical gambling is forbidden. Apparently, the government considers it a moral issue, despite it being one of their biggest sources of revenue, like the massive hypocrites that they are. That being said, according to Monaco Resident's Magazine, apparently online gambling is still legal for citizens because the law technically only forbids physical gambling. Also worth noting is that apparently as much as 80% of the population of Monaco are foreign nationals who are exempt from laws like this.

[@ThSadomasohista]
