6:58 See? With stricter birthcontrol and a stop on migration none of that would be a problem.
But having children and inviting immigrants is even more horribly space inneficient. If less people had children and everyone stayed in their own countries driving lanes would't be congested anymore and there WOULD be space for new cycling lanes without bothering car owners.
9:51 Map Population
Nice to see that Jay is still responding to comments after all these years.
The bear was very big and amazing!
You are criticizing the Americans and their interpretation of maps for the name 'America', while you use a map based on today's understanding of geographic divisions for the map of 1750s British Ameria. The true map of the 13 British colonies would have been bounded by the Mississippi river.
wait a sec... if 'counties' were named after 'counts', who were 'countries' named after

Hello there .se
The answer to life, the universe and boroughs... 32
you should check out Baarle. that map looks about the same, with enclaves in enclaves in enclaves and such. the border goes trough some stores and houses even. The Dutch side is called Baarle Nassau, and the Belgian side Baarle Hartog.
9:35 Sorry, did you refer to London as a "city?!"
Yes. I also call the clock tower Big Ben, and the flag the Union Jack, and the monster Frankenstein, etc etc.
@@JayForeman Why, you maniac! ;-) Love your work!
What about Kosovo?
Doesn’t have UN membership (yet) and is not recognised (yet) by a lot of other countries. (Stay tuned to this channel for a video with more detail about this sort of thing coming soon.)
@@JayForeman yay! I'm surprised, I thought most countries recognized Kosovo. That might be because my country does and there everybody thinks it's a country so I only heard one perspective. Interesting.

Who did Jay bribe to get Matt Lucas on the show?
Matt Lucas.
Orient is already a verb. You don't need to add the "ate" suffix. People will try to argue by pointing to the word "Orientation". I just thank them for explanating, and let them continuate.
“Orientate” is a word in British English.
@@JayForemanThank you for explanating. :D But seriously, I apologize; I think my first comment came across as more critical and rude than I intended. I was really going for a bit of silly and pedantic fun. I apparently failated. "Orientate" is technically a word in American English, as well. It is used rather commonly, especially when speaking about acclimating new hires to a job. They go to "Orientation", and some will say the company has to "Orientate" the new hires, or that they're getting "Orientated". But to me, "Orient"/"Oriented" does the same thing with one less syllable. I love your videos. Please continuate to make them so awesome.
@@JayForemanAlso, I am impressed that you are reading and responding to comments on a 10 month old video.
@@Cyber-Riot I use the UA-cam studio app. It shows me all the latest comments across my channel, no matter how old the video is.
Its not a square it's a banana
2:12
I love that everyone knows Geoff Marshall, but most people do not talk about Jago Hazzard in this video...
Probably because Jago Hazzard doesn’t talk in this video. His identity wasn’t revealed until part 2 came out.
Chartered Quantity Surveyors!!!! The swine!
I was just going to search a ".su" site :( 6:25
From a thumbnail I thought this channel name was Map "Titten". :)
The "here in India" part is just mindblowing, please explain that
Mark was on holiday in India in 2019. While there, he thought it would be useful to record the line “here in India” just in case it turned out to be useful for a future episode of Map Men. He was right! (It also means, *technically*, his expensive trip around the world can be a tax-deductible business expense.)
@@JayForeman loved it!!
Or it’s a floating cia black site.
Argh! Why didn't UA-cam notify me of this?

- When he had first arrived, he had found London huge, odd, fundamentally incomprehensible, with only the Tube map, that elegant multicolored topographical display of underground railway lines and stations, giving it any semblance of order. Gradually he realized that the Tube map was a handy fiction that made life easier but bore no resemblance to the reality of the shape of the city above. It was like belonging to a political party, he thought once, proudly, and then, having tried to explain the resemblance between the Tube map and politics, at a party, to a cluster of bewildered strangers, he had decided in the future to leave political comment to others. From Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman
The Tudors are laughing at TFL and the Mayor of London. They built everything by the river and used it as their motorway. Getting to the Southbank wasn't a problem back then. Rather than building roads and rail, maybe London should build canals both North and South, then everyone can go by boat!
