When I saw this in my feed I was thinking about 1984.

I can't make heads or tails about Samoa. Nominally it is now a republic, de jure anyone can be elected as head of state (O le ao o le mao) but by practice it is elected from the four paramount chiefs. Thus de facto it feels like an elective monarchy to me.

[@CostasMelas]

You're right. It is the only such form of government in the world

[@kedevy]

This was a great video, I can't wait for the languages of the Americas!

[@CostasMelas]

Thank you

[@martinote510]

the colors dont translate legibly with the outline of The ocean territory

[@pas1994ok]

I didn't know or remember that Kiribati (or at least the main part of the country) was united with Tuvalu before independence until now

Do religions in the middle east or Asia over the years. Or perhaps forms of government in a part of the world going further back.

Interesting, I'm glad you had the occupation of the German colonies during WW1, through I was wondering about the 1987, 2000 and 2006 coupon d'état in Fiji?

[@CostasMelas]

You're right. They are for a short period but I had to include them

[@xXxSkyViperxXx]

[@slime_whoscrabby]

When I read the name of this video I thought of IngSoc hah

[@jjy1874]

Why is it still 2022 in your videos?

[@CostasMelas]

There is a chance of political change by 2023

[@joshs.6608]

Of course, Indonesia(alongside with a little bit of Chile, due to easter island) happened to be the only country in Oceania to be ruled by a Dictatorship back in the late 20th century, due to having an oceania territory on the Papua Island as well as the fact that Suharto ruled Indonesia at the time.
