WonderWhy

Part of 3 of the series in which I look at some of the changes that have happened since parts 1 and 2, then talk about new complex borders including: the panhandle of Namibia, the Caprivi Strip; the new international border of Sudan and South Sudan; the Chile-Argentina border dispute which came from ambiguous language in a boundary treaty.

An attempt to answer the question "What's the oldest country in the world?". This question has no correct answer, but I try to suggest some potential candidates and then finally give my opinion as to which is the oldest. I hope you enjoy the video, feel free to leave your opinion as to the world's oldest country!

Catalonia is an autonomous community of Spain that has been in the news recently after it held an independence referendum on the 1st of October, despite being ruled illegal by the Spanish courts. 4 weeks later, Catalan unilaterally declared their independence from Spain. In this video I attempt to explain the situation, by first looking at the history of Catalonia and how it became part of Spain, including its modern history and independence movement, right up until the present day. I look at what would an independent Catalonia look like.

In this episode I look in great detail at the sizes of the planets, compared to each other, and what Earth would be like if it were the size of the largest and smallest planets in the Solar System. I also go on to look at mass, rotation/orbital periods, moons, and axial tilt. I look at some of the odd things about the Solar Systems, like why Venus has a day longer than its year, and why the planets actually spins backwards relative to Earth.
