Another Europe fact is that Finland drinks the most coffee in the world by capita 😊

The most important fact you've missed🚜:
Slovenia has the highest number of tractors per capita in the world.
Due to its many small family farms, fragmented land ownership, and mountainous terrain, Slovenia has an exceptionally high density of tractors relative to its population.

17:25 Yes it's 21 now: Croatia and Bulgaria are also using the Euro right now. Also 6 other countries use the Euro unofficially.

Algorithm sent me here. This makes me sooo happy to find a young person who does not engage a brain cell without thinking - my subscription is a no brainer. Added bonus is that she also enjoys history & astronomy / cosmology among other things. Am an ex history teacher myself. I look forward to exploring your content, whatever the subject matter. Happy days. 😊

As a San Franciscan, I love the Transamerica Pyramid, but I could happily watch Salesforce Tower sink into the landfill that is that section of SOMA along with that luxury residential highrise that is also sinking a few blocks away. LOL!!

I dunno where the Bulgaria being the oldest comes from. San Marion gained it's independence from the Roman empire in the 3d century. I think the argument is that Bulgaria has not changed it's name the longest? And for Iran, I'm guessing it's just oldest settlement, on account of Mesopotamia being generally accepted as the cradle of civilization.

The letter "Å" was right on your third attempt (Au). Norway also has rainforest. No bullshit. There's one right outside my door.
Also: South western England has palm trees.

I've heard of Australasia too. I think it's a subset of Oceania. Australia is the country, at least when I grew up it was.

Å can sound phonetically differently not just throughout the Nordic countries, but also regionally. In common Danish alone there's 3 ways to make the Å sound different. Thank you so much for the Greentea Peng recommendation, just what i needed to discover. All the best ❤

17:41 I've been to the Malbork castle and it's a stunning place. In fact it's only about 100 km away from me. The whole region has many teutonic castles
