| "Ah! The pearl of the Indian Ocean! The teardrop of India! The Isle of Dharma! [country's name in Portuguese]! [country's name in Ancient Greek]! [country's name in Persian]! And [former name of country]! To the Tamil, it's [country's name in Tamil], to the Sinhalese, it's the one you probably heard, [country]. This place has had so many names and today it goes by: The next country up here, on Geography Now." | Sri Lanka | 100%
|
| "Alright, [country]. Or [country's name translated to English literally]. This country often ranks as Africa's number one or two least known and visited country. Only, like, Portuguese people know about this place, and, like, half the time it gets mistaken for Cape Verde." "Yeah, what can I say? I'm kind of sexy." "Yeah, you guys do have some good looking people, not gonna lie. But anyway! [country]. Let's do this!" | São Tomé and Príncipe | 89%

| "If Polynesia was a family, [country] would be kind of like the kingpin great-grandfather. Technically every [person from country] is considered royalty. But it all comes down to how good of a royal can you be? I mean sure, if you got ties to the aiga tupu, it helps. But anything is up for grabs in a fono a matai if your fa'alupega is on point and once you got the tama a ʻāiga title, you can secure a spot as the O le Ao o le Malo." | Samoa | 89%
|
| "Alright, out of all my subscribers, I think the ones that have been the most patient have been the [people from country]. Ever since I made the Albania episode and had the pleasant experience of realizing the ramifications of making any kind of content pertaining to the Balkan subregion, [people from country] have been emailing me for years wanting to help with the [country] episode. And I, I get it. [country] has quite a polarized reputation in Europe. It's kind of like..." "Boo!" "Hey, show him some respect!" "Do you remember what happened in the 90's?" "Yeah, I do. He was very cordial and polite." "He was not cordial to me!" "I like yogurt!" "Oh, hush Albania. [country] is cool! Plus, Hoxha was, like, 10 times worse than anything the [people from country] did to you." "You helped Hoxha at one time!" "Yeah. But then you ditched us for China and that didn't even last. And you were left isolated." "I mean, he did kind of kill the archduke, starting World War One, but...you know, teaming up with the Austrians was kind of weird to begin with anyway, so..." "Actually, that was a Bosnian [person from country] from our side, but basically the same thing." "Huh? So, Metallica, right. Oh yeah, great band." "Yeah, quite a reputation." | Serbia | 89%
|
| "Alright, [country]! I don't really have to say much. You've all heard of this country. Along with France and Italy, it is one of the three powerhouse Latin countries of Europe. Portugal, we love you man, you're cool and awesome. But let's be real, you're kind of like the mini boss before the...okay, I'll just stop right there. Anyway. Over 500 million people across the world speak [main language of country], and if you include the mestizos, a huge chunk of that population have actual descendants and ancestors from [country]. So, it's not just the language, it's also, like, genetically, [country] got busy and made a big *** family across the world. In any case, welcome to the original kingpin of the Hispanic world: [country]." | Spain | 89%

| "Hey guys! So, on this channel the Caribbean countries usually get the least amount of views and they're kind of pushed off to the side with minimal anticipation because everyone thinks the Caribbean nations are all the same. So you know what? Screw it! I'm gonna go to this country! I'm gonna get good footage, interview the people, and put them in the spotlight! We are covering the Caribbean triplets: the [part of country's name]! And today we cover the smallest nation in the Americas: [country]. What makes this country different from all the others? Well, for one, they have drunken monkeys that fight each other. But you gotta watch this episode to find out." | St. Kitts and Nevis | 89%
|
| "Alright, we are covering the three [part of country's name] triplet countries of the Caribbean! And today we cover the sister triplet along with her two brothers: [country]. If, like most people, you don't know anything about [country], basically, if the Caribbean islands were a school, [country] would be like..." "Hey, hey, hey, back off! She's mine! She's mine! Oh, she's mine! Was that sexual?" "Yeah, [country] is the hot chick of the Caribbean." | St. Lucia | 89%
|
| "Alright, here we are: Our last set of twin countries! First, it was the Congos, then it was the Koreas, we did the Caribbean Saint triplets, and finally the [country]s!

|
| "Alright: [country]! So, South America has everything you can imagine. It has everything from penguins to wrestling cholitas. But then you go up to the north and you find the three Guyana triplets. They are so hidden, secluded, and often forgotten. Basically, you take a ton of Asians, Africans, and put them in a new continent, and after 400 years, they somehow end up speaking Dutch. And there's a ton of Hindus. Welcome to [country]." | Suriname | 89%
|
| "Alright, we have now reached [country]. Alps, cheese, neutrality, banks. Well, [country] didn't start off that way. It was basically a bunch of mountain folk that built an entire economy off of what are essentially European ninjas. And now that **** goes down they have a bunch of bunkers they can hide in in case that nuclear war happens. But we'll get into that later. In the meantime: Here's the intro song!" | Switzerland | 89%
|
| "Alright, we are back to the Levant, or Bilad al-Sham. In the Arab world family, [country] is kind of, like, the old man reading a book, but then he lifts his sleeves, revealing scars and tattoos that tell stories of every chapter of his life. He's a complicated man with a story way too difficult to summarize. But for what it's worth, I'll try to get as much palpable information shoved into whatever amount of time we have. I'll do my best and take my job [pun with country's name]." | Syria | 89%
|
| "Alright, back in Africa, this time, [country]. For those of you that don't know, during french colonial times in Africa, it was kind of like..." "Okay, so, Ivory Coast, house of cocoa production, good. Alright, Mali, I want a report on the Azawad region. Togo, you...you just do you. Oh hey, [country]! Okay, I'm not gonna pick favorites, but, you know you get the capital, and you're in charge. Now, here's a bunch of money." "Oh!" "Oh, wait, come back! I need you to look good for me."

| "Alright, [country]! If any of you guys saw my older videos, you know I had the amazing experience of visiting this country a couple years ago. My [from country] friends Nigel, Ben, and Kevin will be appearing again in this episode. I will say: I get why [country] is such an internationally renowned hot spot. It's a small country with big ambition. It went from a few dilapidated wooden stilt homes and boating fishermen to literally a boat on top of three skyscrapers. Either way, one thing's for sure: [country] definitely isn't [pun with country's name]." "Is it my turn?" | Singapore | 78%

Our last and final Balkan country." "Well, actually, the Thracian peninsula that connects to..." "Oh my God, can you please just let me have this one ******* moment.

|
| "Well, this is it. Now that the Sudan episode has been done, we reach our last and final twin country. Born in 2011, this is the newest country on Earth! And it all begins with some very tall people, in a very large swamp." | Sudan, South | 78%
|
| "The land of the two mosques. I actually had the opportunity to travel here a couple years ago and get a slight taste of the city and countryside. There's so much information that goes in this video and it cannot be easily covered. So I'll try my best. [country]." | Saudi Arabia | 67%

| "[country]! I don't have to give much of an introduction. I'm sure you've all heard of this one. We've scaled the treacherous Danish peaks of Møllehøj, stomached the ammonia flavored Icelandic Hákarl, and our wallets were viciously attacked by Norwegian prices of anything, but now it's time: Welcome to the final boss of Scandinavia: [country]! Oh, it's hot, I'm all hot and [pun with country's name] right now!" "Ah, you know the drill!" "Oh yeah." "Kick it!" "Oh, oh, oh yeah, Noah's back, by the way." "Here we are." "Yep." | Sweden | 67%

| "Well, we just did the Serbia episode and it feels great knowing that we are back to doing countries where we don't have to do insane backstories riddled in Balkan Slavic conflict. In fact, this country doesn't even have an indigenous population! It's one of the few rare countries that nobody lived on until modern history. And since then, they've become one of the top richest countries in Africa. Man, why is it always the certain small island nations that have economic booms?" "Ah, proximity to rich countries while offering obscure high-end luxury tourism?" "I don't know. Geographic advantage on a trade choke point with strict mobilizing policies?" "I don't know, like, weird finance loopholes? Uh, a desirable resource that we forgot to put into a pension fund? Oh, s***! Eh, [country] doesn't really fit any of those. They basically just did what I did? Bingo!" | Seychelles | 56%

| "[country]! Or as the locals call it in short: [country's name as the locals call it in short]. One of the only three countries on Earth founded by former slaves." "Ayyyy!" "Now this is an interesting country that not a lot of people talk about. And if you know me, those are the countries I like researching the most. So, grab a friend while watching, because you won't want to [pun with country's name] this episode [pun with countries name]!" | Sierra Leone | 56%
|
| "Now, I'm gonna admit, before visiting, I knew little to nothing about [country]. So, naturally, when I visited, you guys got me drunk on what is essentially illegal rum so strong, it could light up a barbecue. You also made me eat whale blubber and took a picture of me in a pirate hat. You [from country] subscribers, I like you. I like you guys." | St. Vincent and the Grenadines | 56%
|
| "Imagine you're a dude running away from some guy trying to kill you. You escape pirates. You start a new life on the beach. Then, just when beach life is going great, some crazy lady you never met claims that you're her baby daddy and you just left without paying no damn child support. So you run away to the mountains. You build a fortress. Then a bunch of other runaways in a similar situation to yours join you and you become a community. In a very butchered condensed format, that's basically how this place became a country. Welcome to the world's best hiding spot, keeping it down low, [country]." | San Marino | 44%

| "This shirt is so cool! It's a [country] shirt! Thank you, Geograpeep Ruba for making this. She makes handmade African flag logo shirts. Oh, and she even put the Geography Now logo on the back. If you're interested in getting one of these, you can get them at UnityShirtsShop.com. Thank you Ruba! [country]. Now, this is an interesting one. For those of you that follow this show, you remember that one time way back when Kaleb and I went to Hargeysa for our first Geograbee in Africa. So, depending on which kind of a [from country] person you encounter, one might say we technically visited [country] and another will say, no, we did not. Either way, it was one of the most memorable moments of my life. Hey, Kaleb!" "Yeah?" "Yeah, what did you think of, you know, Hargeysa, when we went there?" "We had a great time! My experience was, I think there's a western misconception that [country], [disputed region arguably within that country] is like this crazy dangerous place, and I actually felt very safe while I was there. We saw sunken ships and all that. We did those, uh, paintings on the walls." "Cave paintings, yeah. Really glad you came with me man! No better person could've come. Great times, great times. And it only gets greater with the intro song." | Somalia | 44%
