That Thatcher flag looks like it was made in keynote
Or “Maps I find _____”

The "Terran" in "Terran Alliance" refers to the planet Earth, which in Latin is called Terra.
Was waiting for this comment
In fiction it is also sometimes called terra & even I call it terra after terra mater which is the Roman goddess of the earth as it fits the roman deity names of the planets

i saw this before getting to that part and i thought it was sincere and i was wondering how i was gonna get blown away, then i saw it and realized you where being sarcastic. Great job, you've gained my like good sir.
I've never been this angry in my life.
As an Estonian, I’m happy that there was a lot of representation of our flag!
As an Estonian, me also
As an Estonian, l’m happy that there was a lot of representation of our flag!
Your flag is one of my favourites, it's very pretty
Estonia is a good country
@@charliebayliss-hl4rv Thanks!
I have learned every flag, country, shapes of countries and country history because of you and drew durnil!
Well done!I would love to do this.
I am on the road to. I stopped for a whuke tho. Hope I am not rusty. Good job btw!
me too but mainly jack drew durnil just got me into countryballs tbh-

Ay me too
“He is quite short isn’t he Putin”. That’s the last we will see of Jack😢
rip he sucked at life
bro, he is not going to die! >:(
5:21 Jack… Terran alliance represents the Earth as Terran usually means like aliens in movies referring to Earth or its people
"Terran" is a possessive or "Place Off" for "Terra". "Terra" is Latin for land or territory. It can also be construed to mean "Earth" as "Earth can also mean, land, territory, dirt... and so on. "Terra" is also where we get "terrain" and "terrace" from.
treea is stn :) "nah jk i just saw yellow as terra in my school so i think its the sun?}
10:12 Aww, this is the worst, tha- *GET OFF ME!!!*
8:00 those men definitely require an enhance, jack
Hey Jack! Because of you, I know all the countries in the world, know most flags and capitals and have beat you in several quizzes. My strongest suite is outlines of countries. I love my Youtooz BTW! Love your stuff Jack!
Cool
I am the same but my strongest is knowing all the flags! 🇨🇦 🇬🇧
Same bro i know all countries and flags and im learning capitals i know 97 capitals for now and all thanks to Jack
same, im 11 and smarter than most of 12th graders in term of geography because of Jack
I know all countries, a lot of flags and like 5 capitols
3:30 -- Coincidentally I actually researched this a while ago, and 5-8 world flags have their own name on them! (It depends) - The Dominican Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Paraguay all have their names in their coat of arms which is in their flags. 🇩🇴 🇪🇬 🇸🇻 🇳🇮 🇵🇾 - Bolivia and Costa Rica have versions with their coat of arms and versions without, and depending on which one you use they have text. 🇧🇴 🇨🇷 - The *Islamic Republic* of Afghanistan had its name on the flag, but _you know._ 🇦🇫 - Six of these are in Spanish, and the other two are in Arabic. … Eugh
Oh! And Venezuela. The coat of arms has "Venezuela" written in it, but it is very small
What about El Salvador and Nicaragua, the only way I can tell them apart😂
there's guam too i think
What
So does mayotte 🇾🇹
5:35 "Holy Union of *Uranus* " Very fitting name
2:58 **putin wants to know your location** _💀_
For calling putin a short
3:30 Yes, there are, Jack!. I can think of the flags of Nicaragua and El Salvador. (The names are written in their languages, which I think is Spanish along their coat of arms) There are definitely more than two, but I can't think of more.
@@ohioman11 Ohh, of course! Thanks for letting me know!
Paraguay does
Brunei does too, its written in arabic so it might not be as obvious
@@annemarieclarke4997 i was gonna say that
Guam
3:40 all I can think of is Paraguay
6:43 this is so funny, my grandparents live about 20 minutes away from there so whenever I go to see them I got to Paris Texas and stand under that Eiffel Tower.
3:39 Nicaragua, El Salvador, Paraguay, and Bolivia were the ones I could think about. I also saw some versions of Colombia's flag that have like a coat of arms with the name on it but I don't know if they're official or whatever so yeah :)
theres guam too and some other i cant remember
Dominican republic
Jack you never cease to amaze me with your brilliant (sometimes) geography skills

5:20 that would be the earth
As an Australian, I find the new Utah flag very unique! I love the design and it’s spreads out evenly unlike the old one. Congrats to Utah!
3:52 does anyone else see the panama flag there?
1:58 you nearly nailed it actually! The only mistake was going ‘ah’ instead of ‘uh’ in the Chakra bit. Congrats Jack!
That’s good but he ain’t listening about what he is doing a mistake in
Yeaj
I love the flag/map vidoes. You’ve helped me learn all the flags of Europe, nortg and South America and Asia. Please do more :)
2:48 "pewtin" 💀
this man never fails to impress me. congratulations jack on finding another word for this series.
Love it when you and Drew Durnil put out the exact same video
fr
I thought I was the only one who has seen that 😂
Noticed the same thing
ik
5:46 The gradient looks like someone horribly blurred the aromantic flag. Gradients on flags are a no from me
lol that's what i thought too
Pff yeah it does. Why do they do my flag like thisss
Ikr
lol thats what i said
I just commented this before I saw yours. I'm with Jack, that one Korea design was a tastefully executed gradient, but other than that, no blending
I was so exited to see Estonia get the love it deserves ❤🇪🇪
Its flag is so beautiful

In elementary school, we all rotated through being on "flag duty" and responsible for properly raising the flag in the morning and taking it down after school to return to the main office. (American flag isn't supposed to be up overnight unless you have a spotlight on it.) It's the same as folding a paper football but taken very seriously. One week some kids were fooling about and letting it touch the ground at the same time a military parent pulled up to pick up their kid and I still remember the fallout of that event like 15 years later 🥴
a girl i knew when we were both 10/11 was on morning flag duty with me. we were both part of a group of fifth graders that helped teachers before school started or after it ended. the office ladies always asked for us specifically even though they couldn't really do that but the coaches still let them. our school had their own flag so when we went outside we would lay the school flag down, put the texas flag on the school flag, put the american flag up, put the texas flag up, then put the school flag up. other kids laid it down on the grass or concrete. they always got in trouble for that
Just looked up the US Flag Code, found something funny... Code § 8 - Respect for flag "The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever." AND "It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard." I guess no-one actually reads the flag code :D
Only true geography lovers know that Drew already went over most of these posts…
Jack is better
Watched Drew's video yesterday. Both are good
Saw Drew's vid earlier today
I saw his yesterday lmao
@@o_s-24 yup
6:33 There are so many places named Paris in the world. For example there is a Paris Virginia.
The official way to fold the Finnish flag is pretty neat. It's not quite as complex as some of the others, but in the end you only have the blue visible when you're done
(3:30) I think you could remove all the items on that flag and have a tri-band-flag. The items can be included in a logo or banner, but removed from the flag. Alternatively redesign some of those elements for the flag. But it's really not a terrible flag anyway. Really depends on what the old flag looked like, if it's better.
Imagine a day when Jack won't find adjectives for the titles of these kinds of videos
9:06 Something similar happened when the Belgian Royal Family visited Canada a few years ago and they were greeted with the German flag
6:19 "Anheuser-Busch, which I've never heard of" Yes you have, you just don't realize it. They own Budweiser, Michelob, Stella Artois, and Beck's.
regarding the folding flags thing: I was always taught to fold the aus flag a specific way, first is lengthways (hotdog) so the union jack is facing up (bottom side to top side), then lengthways (hotdot) again so the union jack is folded in on itself (bottom to top again) (when we teach children how to do it, we say "putting jack to bed"), then the outside edge is zig-zag folded (up then down, like a paper fan) 7 times until it reaches the end of the union jack (this takes practice to get the fold sizes right), it is then rolled tightly until the halyard end. The outermost piece of fabric is folded down into a triangle so the strop is in the middle of the roll, then the strop is wound all the way around and tucked up in a loop to hold in place. this should result in the toggle being at the top (so the flag is hoisted right-side up) and it is secure but still easy to break. if a flag is attached to the pole (like the display flags in diplomatic meetings) then one person holds the outside tightly while another rolls the flag from the pole (making sure it's rolling straight and not creasing) then when the union jack has been rolled, the top corner is folded down to make the remainder of the flag make a triangle. the person continues rolling until the very end. if the flag has a sheath then you put the sheath on but if not the point of the triangle can be gently tucked into the roll to hold it in place. Flags have their own folding procedures for different reasons! some things are symbolic/ceremonial (the aus flag is folded zig-zag to represent the seven states and territories), it's also to make sure the flag is treated respectfully and will last longer (if you just scrunch it up and bung it in a cupboard it might crease, rip, fray, etc) and it means the flag is always folded the same way! so if I go to a different office than I'm used to and am asked to fold the flag with someone I don't know, as long as we both know the proper procedure we can do it without even talking to each other
5:24 Terran represents earth
I was binging old flag videos and you just uploaded this. Happy days
Jack: *cants think of flags with their name on it* Nicaragua and El Salvador: Am I a joke to you?
i love this series one of my faves specially the matching flags for important meetings :)
What about maps I find series?
Jack: Could literally come up with any title Also Jack: Uses “Flags I find” and then a random Adjective
stolen
Hi Jack, I am not complaining about your skills this time BUT LEARN THE CAPITALS OF THE WORLD
5:40 This confirms it, Jack’s favourite moons are Nix,Styx,Kerberos and Hydra
Bro you teach better than my geography teacher, I learnt more things about geography because of you. HATS OFF!!!
I love ur vids keep it up Jack 😊
0:42 that was the original Russian flag after the collapse of the Soviet union. Then they switch to dark blue.
One of the first versions of unofficial Finnish flags before the nordic cross version was the Russian flag without the red part, they just ripped it off.
"Just a bit of stupid triangles" Trapezoids on bottom of google slides: And I took that personally
So happy jack looked at the new Utah flag! I’m from Utah and was hoping he would see it in either one of the flag videos or Reddit videos, Happy Easter Jack!
How can you not heard of Budweiser??
0:23 LaZaRbEaM The New Zealand Lazarbeam
never thought i would hear jack saying ''AHHHHH that's the good stuff'' -JackSucksAtGeography 2023
I remember the Lazer Kiwi flag. I live in NZ and people were often talking about it. Now I haven't heard people mention it in around seven years. I nearly forgot it even existed. 🤣
0:03 there is also nothing in the constitution saying how to arrange the stars. There just has to be 50.
I'm pretty sure the beehive on the new Utah flag is actually a reference to the Book of Mormon. In the book, it uses a word called "DESERET" which means Honeybee. In fact, Utah was originally going to be called Deseret.
Yes, I think that's correct. The Mormon Pioneers were responsible for Utah being settled and wanted it to be called "Deseret" or honey bee because of that reference in the Book of Mormon.
@@susannahnielson6418 Deseret sounds cooler than Utah
Jack, you should make one's that have words like baffling · bewildering · complex · complicated · confounding · difficult · disconcerting · perplexing .
jack! love seeing your videos, just been binging your content, thanks for the new video!!
Here are some word proposals to the guy that made me a geography nerd: Astounding, Notable, Bewildering, Questionable, Unique/One of a kind Edit: I just sacrificed my KZhead search history for yours
Great Video 🎉🎉🎉 Comments down your thoughts guys 🤔
Yeah

7:30 I might be the only one who knows Albania is actually the only flag without yellow, white, or green
County Down in Northern Ireland left the chat
It’s red and black
@@Ireland_needs_monies I meant the only country flag without yellow white or green, but yeah since I didn't say "country flag" in my comment I guess you're right
4:06 WHY DID HE SAY IT LIKE THAT
LOL
“oOOOAA YE-“ 💀
6:01 that’s how we had to fold my flag at my old school when we would take it down from the flag poll after school.
Tell me how
I have lived in Utah all my life and also a geography and flag enthusiast. I always despised the old flag of Utah. I’m soo happy with the new flag.
5:55 I am from Arizona, but I’ve never heard of Thatcher so I don’t think I have the authority to tell them to change their flag.
3:38 Just El Salvador, Paraguay, and Nicaragua! 🇳🇮 🇸🇻 🇵🇾
I find it funny how Jack goes mad when government officials are standing in front of flags. 😂😂😂
I like how jack definitely already knew about the laser kiwi flag yet still kept it in😂
7:16 the word benelux literally is the first letters of each country. be - Belgium ne - Netherlands lux - Luxembourgh

Jack's never gonna run out for titles in this series It's my favorite series..keep it up Jack
9:43 imagine having the flag on paper. Their folding protocol is pushing the folding limit to its limit
YES ANOTHER FLAGS I FIND ____, THEY'RE SO GOOD PLEASE MAKE MORE
3:25 Paraguay has it's name on the flag
1:09 Looks like the top of an iceberg.
3:38 The flag of Paraguay has the name in it's flag. At least most of the emblems. There are probably more but thats the only one i know
There is a meaning behind how the is US flag is folded and how it looks. There are 13 folds to make the triangle which represents the 13 original colonies. The triangle is also shaped like the tri-cornered hat. The flag is usually folded that way as tribute. It's cool seeing it folded in person.
6:27 looks like a sun bleached Acadian flag
I like the cow boy hat👍

No. Continue The JackSucksAtLife Legacy
Agreed
But there is problem that if he changed his channel name to jackisgoodingeography so if at some point he do any mistake everyone gonna troll him

Jack, Try to guess the languages of any continent, I’ll know I’ll enjoy your experience at suffering!
They got the Spanish flag wrong, the top right lion should be pink 1:02
Benelux is the countries of belguim (Be), netherlands (Ne) and luxemburg (Lux) its in the name and it hurt to be mistaken as france as someone from the netherlands, glad he educated himself after the painful mistake tho
that scream at 4:06 was amazing omg
9:22 that’s Brittany in France
(9:00) Especially when written in English* which is stupid, since North and South Korea has different names for their country/countries. *it is the same in several languages, but not all languages
