It's been a few months since I learned all 197 countries of the world, so let's see if I can still do it! Subscribe with notifications and check out my other Youtube channels below! @JackSucksAtLife @JackSucksAtStuff @JackMasseyWelsh @JackSucksAtClips on JackSucksAtGeography we upload a range of easy to watch geography related games. We mainly play Sporcle games like "naming all 197 countries". I successfully learned all 197 countries and plan to learn more Geography trivia. On this channel I also play Geoguessr. This is a game that uses Google Street View to drop you in a random location and you have to work out exactly where you are on the worldwide map. Geoguessr was created in 2013.

Can I still name all 197 countries in the world
0:03
On this YouTube channel, I've learned a lot of stuff over the last four months. But has any of it actually stuck in my brain
0:08
So for the first time since June, I'm going to see if I can still name all 197 countries of the world
0:13
I'm then going to see how far I can get through 50 states, which I haven't done for a good couple of months
0:17
And then we'll finally end on 48 counties in England, which I know I'm going to be really terrible at
0:22
Because I've only ever done this one once, and it was when this video came out. Alright, should we get started on countries of the world
0:27
This is definitely the hardest one because there's just so many countries and you only get 15 minutes as well
0:32
If we actually look in my sparkle activity You can see that this is the last time I played countries of the world June 3rd 2021 and it took me 11 minutes 53 in order to beat them
0:41
I'm gonna have a nightmare because I'm out of practice, but we'll see how we get on I feel really overwhelmed already, uh, Spain
0:49
Portugal Andorra so we'll try and get Europe out the way first and then we'll go from there island
0:54
San Marino Italy Vatican Oh god I'm stressed Sweden Norway Finland Estonia Latvia Lithuania
1:10
See the country still should be kind of in my head Because I've done like flags and stuff recently

2:34
And then Slovakia and I should be about done with Europe. I think I've got two left. Is that right
2:41
I don't even remember how many countries are in Europe anymore. So what's it gonna be? It's gonna be somewhere small there. I might have to move on but just because of the time limit
2:48

5:52
really sad, because I spent so long learning them, it will all come back to me, though, right, should

And then Uzbekistan was the other one that I've forgotten. I bloody love Uzbekistan as well
9:16
Haiti, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Costa Rica. dominica libya liberia they're in kind of groups so dominican republic and dominica obviously once
9:25

9:31
literally been to and i got it wrong bahrain was the one in the middle east that i was trying to
9:35
get right fair enough that's 90 which is still pretty solid and obviously if i just start going
9:40
back to this once a week i'm sure i'll get back to knowing them all again but that's quite Interesting. All right. This is where things start going even further downhill 177 out of 197. That's pretty good
9:50
I think I'll be able to get just over half of these because I just spent so much less time on US states compared to countries
9:56
Here we go. We'll see how we get on Oregon. Not a good start can't spell it
10:00
Oregon, Gregon, there we go Washington and then uh, Montana and Iowa and Idaho and

10:19
It was about a month ago now, but I've not gone back to that one either. California, Utah
10:25
I'll be impressed if I get all these. I really don't think I'm going to. Nebraska, Nevada, Colorado, and we'll do..
10:33
I wonder what this one is, this big square one. Maybe it'll come to me. We'll work our way around
10:37
We'll do Arizona and Arkansas. That could be that one, you know
10:43
Oh, no, it's not. Texas, New Mexico, Ohio, and Indiana. And then we'll do Kentucky
10:53
And we can do... What else can we do? Think about it, Jack
10:56
Think about it. Florida, Louisiana. Yes. And M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I. and then we'll do Virginia and West Virginia
11:13
There we go. I'm not actually this bad at spelling. It's just when I'm like also talking and wanting to commentate
11:18
it obviously uses up a certain amount of brain power. Anyway, back to it. Alabama and then Michigan and Missouri
11:27
And then what else have we got then at this point? We've got North Carolina and South Carolina
11:34
And then we've also got Tennessee. How do I spell it? Tennessee. Yes, there we go. We got there. New York, New Jersey. We've done New Mexico, but we can then do Massachusetts, Pennsylvania. I can do it
11:55
there we got it we got it we'll do maryland and uh new hampshire i'm glad i got that one uh road

12:14
point oh delaware that's one isn't it yeah oh my god alaska i wasn't looking down here and then
12:19
we've also got hawaii okay so that's 41 of 50 which to be honest i'd be quite happy to end

But I just want to give myself another minute just to see if there's any that I can get to come to me
12:30

12:48
might have to give up here wisconsin it just came to me it's wyoming this right here this square is
12:54
wyoming wyoming what'd i tell you that's 45.50 which for someone from the uk and it's only ever
13:00
Spent three days in the US. I think that's solid. Yeah, I'm gonna call it there. Let's see what we missed
13:04
Illinois, Minnesota, Vermont, Connecticut, Connecticut and Georgia Should have got Connecticut annoyed about Connecticut, but once again, it's 90% look at us go. Okay, this is the one where it's
13:14
Oh no Literally I did this the one time in the video and then I've just not gone back to it since so let's work out exactly when that was
13:22
Ceremonial counties of England It took me 12 times to get 100% on it and the last time I played was the 9th of July
13:29
So just under three months ago now. All right, should we go for it? We've got 10 minutes and we are off Northumberland
13:36
There we go. And we'll work our way down. We will do Durham. We'll do Tynum Weir
13:40
And we can get Yorkshire. Oh, it must be North Yorkshire. North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire
13:49
But the next one is something like East Riding or something. Can I get away with just putting East Yorkshire
13:54
Yes, I can. Yeah, East Riding of Yorkshire. Lincolnshire we'll do next
13:58
so many shires coming up cumbria and greater manchester i think's in my head somewhere man
14:04
chester yeah and then london greater london following a similar theme so that's 12 or 48
14:10
in a minute and a half which you know that's okay got a lot going on down here obviously i've lived
14:16
here so that's why i know these ones it's everything down here that i really kind of
14:19
struggle with we'll do isle of white yeah and we'll do devon and cornwall yes and there was
14:28
something to do with this one like reminded me of the other two is it somerset it is yes so now
14:35
we'll do warwickshire shout out to warwick davis once again i guess we'll work our way around some
14:39
shus now shall we we'll do syria while it's in my head warwickshire bedfordshire there's a lot
14:45
Isn't there 48 different ones just in England? This isn't even Wales or Scotland or Northern Ireland
14:51
Hertfordshire, is that right and then Herefordshire is that one as well? It is Essex. Yeah, Cambridge show our here
14:59
Sussex I don't understand what i'm doing wrong. Is Sussex not right? Where did I film geoguessr irl
15:05
It was called something like was it rutland it was rutland. I've never done the county that i'm literally in right now
15:11
Nottinghamshire there we go derbyshire, which I think is pronounced derbyshire. There we go
15:17
Lancashire, so that's 27 of 48 which is kind of pathetic. I'm not gonna lie. Oxfordshire. Is that gonna be one? It is good
15:24
I'm coming back to Sussex. It's really stressing us out I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong because surely that's how you spell the word Sussex. Okay, never mind
15:32
Hampshire is that right? It is yes Berkshire have I done Berkshire? I have not okay. That's 30 of 48 which is getting to like
15:41
respectable at this point worcester oh i don't know how you spell that word worcester oh cheshire
15:51
yes okay i think at that point i'm gonna have to give up let's see what we missed out on suffolk
15:55
east sussex and west sussex that's where i was going wrong i was spelling it correctly i just
16:02
um there's worcestershire which i could not spell for the life of me shropshire
16:07
north hampshire buckinghamshire suffolk and norfolk i'm annoyed i didn't get them too but
16:12
everything else i think is okay really apparently the average on that one is 76 though whereas i just
16:17
got 65 so i suppose on that one i've let myself down but on countries of the world and us states
16:23
i hold my head up high because i'm quite happy with that and i'm sure if i just practice again
16:28
