Seriously though. Do NOT call them German. YES I REALIZE I accidentally said "Hungary" at 5:18 when I said "Yugoslavian states" and Hungary was NOT part of Yugoslavia, I meant to say former "EMPIRE States!" I fixed it up with an annotation, I'm not going to Re-upload the entire video for a 2 second voiceover mistake. ALSO at 8:32 the Czech flag was upside-down. SORRY, I'm kind of in a hurry to get ready for Finland, This is what a video looks like when I kind of rush it.
Well, while we wait for the next countries why don't we answer some of the questions you guys asked in the last update? Shall we?

No matter what, people will get mad, but there's no escaping or avoiding this episode. Here we go. Israel.
Let's think about this for a sec, shall we?
I recently came across this image and it looked like a fantasy....But is it REALLY that far off from being true?
I understand that this is a touchy subject not easily explained, tried my best to be as objective and plain with the info portrayed in this video however I'm sure some parts will be easily disputed.
Hey everyone! Before this year is over I want to go to YOUR school and have a geography bee! How does that sound! Right now GN can only afford to travel within North America however if this becomes successful, maybe next year we can go to further!
