On October 15th 2014 Geography now embarked on a mission to create informative profiles on every member country of the UN starting with the Afghanistan episode. Little did anyone know that it would take 10 years to complete. It's been the most amazing journey that has given me some of the best people in my life and truly unforgettable stories. I want to thank anyone and everyone that has ever been a part of the show whether it was a brief cameo or a full on co-hosting segment. You guys really do make up the channel because you guys are the world. I hope you enjoy this final chapter in this series. This truly was the most amazing thing I've ever accomplished and it's all thanks to you. -Barbs.

What you’ve done is truly remarkable, and I think we can all agree that these unique country episodes will leave an everlasting legacy on this platform. I can’t wait to see what the future brings, but I know it will be entertaining, educational, and a joy to watch. Also, can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m sad that the class is dismissed.

In that time I've gone from being a secondary school teacher in my 1st year to being at the same school 10 years. I don't teach Geography but have covered many a geography lesson and spoken to the students in my classes about their favourite educational KZbin channels. Your name comes up time and time again. You have had an impact in my little corner of England, Teesside.

This is my first time coming across this channel (the algorithm did it's things). I am a Zimbabwean in South Africa. I have got to say i was super super impressed with the level.of research that went into this. You literally distilled an entire country (the good, the bad and just the facts) into an hour and I honestly can't fault anything. Because of how good this was (and how I know how good it was) I am quite confident if I need to do research on any country, starting here will very likely give me a very good overview of that country. This was a really good watch!

When I work on a writing project where the characters go across countries/ludicrous distances on the globe, your channel has always been the first place I turn to (I even made a homage to it in a Vietnam scene where you did that thing with the gulping water) because it's so enjoyable, it keeps my attention, and I can follow along with how you present the information better than I can most other sources.

I'll be honest and say that if I would started when you started, i would be like: ''pff, no way he finishes this'', guess i would've been wrong.

Man oh man, we have reached the final episode. I can’t believe it just happened! We made it! We made it to Zimbabwe! I can’t believe it happened! One of my first episodes I watched from Geography Now (I believe) was Denmark. I was a teenager when I first watched the series around a decade ago. As a young kid who loved Geography and wanted to learn more, no other channel at the time offered good Geography like you did, Paul. Now, I am an adult entering my next stage of life and have traveled to many different parts of the world. I would like to say thank you, Paul and others on the show, for all these years. Your channel was informative, entertaining, and fun. Glad to have been apart of this wild journey. It must’ve been a difficult accomplishment. You had both great and not so great times. The good and the bad. In times of triumph and times of despair. However, it takes pure dedication to teach your love of Geography to the world on every country on the planet. But the truth of it all, it has not only made a huge impact in my life but just about every life in all corners of the globe. To reiterate, thank you, Paul, for everything and others who contributed to monumental feat. It has been a wild ride and I’m glad I was part of the journey. I’m excited to see the next chapter of your journey and see what’s in store for us in the future. So once again, thank you Paul for everything you’ve done, not for me but around the world. Best of luck to your future endeavors. Can’t wait to see what’s next! God Bless.

I have been part of this journey for 8 years now. Thank you, Barbs, for all the time, effort, and love you've put into this series. I will miss having another episode to watch. You have truly enriched my experience here on KZbin and brought plenty of smiles to my face. I wish I could've joined for the final country episode, but I am still eternally grateful for this experience. I wish you all the luck in your future endeavors!

Can’t believe it has taken you exactly a decade to teach us about every country on Earth. This experience might have been very long, but I enjoyed every aspect of it. I am proud of myself for taking part in this amazing journey and learning so much about the world from you. This was one hell of a trip across Earth but I’m glad that our last flight is over. Thank you so much for the insights that you have given us about our beloved planet. We hope to see more geography related videos from you in the future, even if this series has already came to a close. Best regards from me, your fans, and the masters / veterans of geography.

Barbs, I basically got into geography and learning about different countries and cultures because of you. (I know it’s not the end lol, but) This channel has genuinely been something that has helped me discover a passion of mine, and whether you decide to do territories or not, I don’t know, but I know that I will keep supporting what you do, the realest.

And the final country episode has come. Gotta say, it completely stuck the landing Barbs. I have watched since the Germany episode (I am German myself) and have learned so much with each new episode. These episodes shaped me from a young teenager with almost no geography knowledge to a young man with rather massive geography knowledge. This show, alongside many other forms of educational content on other KZbin channels, has given me a large amount of knowledge about and interest in all the wondrous places and people on this giant, beautiful mess of a planet we call our home. So thank you Barbs for all that you've accomplished with the show. And just know that I, alongside many others, will stick around for whatever you decide to do next.

10 years ago, on October 15 2014, Afghanistan was the first ever video Geography Now did. Paul was just a asian dude in his mid to late 20s and just wanted to show some knowledge. 10 years later, on October 15 2024, Zimbabwe was the last ever video Geography Now did. Paul is a famous asian dude in his late 30s and showed his knowledge to the whole world. Thank you Paul, it was a good ride.

So… This is gonna be a little cheesy for the last episode here but here goes. I am a very lonely individual but absolutely love culture, geography, people, linguistics, history and other such things. Thank you Barbs, Hannah, Keith, Noah, Art, Kaleb, all who helped with graphic and inspired this channel, and the numerous countrymen and women who guest appeared in this channels history. You have educated well, helped share cultures, and you have helped with the loneliness of a kid from a biggish city to feel like a part of a community that has a common love of one thing. A lot can be said about feeling connected to people over the internet but this little corner of the web is a fortress of solitude for me. Thanks. I look forward to what’s to come. 💚💙

Well, I'm 14 now and I must say although I haven't watched in a while I've been a dedicated fan. Congratulations on your accomplishment! As someone who's been constantly complimented and known for my geography knowledge I'd say about 90 percent of it is to you. Thank you.
