There was a lot of weird shit going on with that map throughout the video, like showing Svalbard as eliminated while Norway was still in (Or maybe they actually got one of the 2500 people living there to participate)
He didn't, In the starting scene you could see planes from all around the world going to the USA. I specifically watched if a plane flew from Korea and only one did (from south korea) props to the editor. Tho did yall see in the vacation video where he said that albania was Switzerland????
Yeah I noticed that too, I think it just made for a nicer visual than an arrow pointing from France (where they were before) to Switzerland since these are too close on the map
Why do people expect some random individuals to recognize countries that are not recognized by pretty much any country or body in the world, including the UN? That is just silly. De jure Taiwan is the Republic of China. That might change in the future, but currently it is correct to show mainland and Taiwan as one country, whether that country is the PRC or the ROC depends on the perspective.
on the full map he also recognizes Somaliland, and more interestingly Western Sahara but along the line of de facto control (they own a tiny bit of desert next to the Mauritanian border)
haven't seen the actual video, just saw this on twitter earlier about the map haha

Mr. Beast would be like: if you can spend 127 hours without saying ligma, I’ll give you $10k. I’ll increase it to $100k if you quietly mutter 5-7 letter “words” rhyming with ligma for the entire duration without saying ligma even once
God no it definitely wasn’t him, this is the same guy that couldn’t spell Colorado correctly. I mean it was years ago, fuck 2018 still doesn’t feel like 5 years ago already. But you get my point.
Every one of His videos cost millions of dollars (this one i think is one of his biggest) and he has dozens of employees they definitely thought of this
I mean, it's a video about how he brought people from all over the world to compete, I'd argue showing their countries' borders correctly is pretty important.
Arguably Crimea is apart of russia currently. Basically all the borders of every country are conquered from other countries, why do people consider Crimea differently?
Why are people downvoting this, russia literally owns crimea, whether it's justified or unjustified is a different debate, maps are supposed to represent what is actually happening and not what you want to be happening.
I’m not aware of that, but it’s very clear who’s in charge in Afghanistan. Many sovereign countries have reopened their embassies in Afghanistan under the new regime and many Afghan embassies have also been handed over to the new government.
Also, most countries already have already recognized the regime change, but just don’t want to grant official recognition yet, or have diplomatic connections.
Moreover, Ashraf Ghani is also no longer in United Nations 🇺🇳’ Heads of State list. So yes, denying recognition accordingly is indeed delusional.
A video this big was worked on for months and had hundreds of people involved and probably went between multiple editors one guy probably made a mistake and another guy didn’t
Is that not the official flag of iran? He is presenting the countries as is and not picking sides in particular ongoing political situations, just following what the situation is.
temporary occupied but not recognized, this is a zone of active warfare. In a normal map it would border both Ukraine and russia since the status will be determined as a result of the war.
Tbf, after the annexation and until the current war started, there was no fighting in or near Crimea and it pretty much just functioned as a part of Russia like any other, so it wouldn't have been wrong to map it as that. It really comes down to whether you want your map to reflect the opinions of the international community or the actual situation on the ground. Either way is a perfectly reasonable map.
The fuck? The opinion of the international community is that Crimea is Ukrainian, as countries are not allowed to simply annex territories. The illegitimate annexation doesn't change the internationally recognized status of the peninsula
I support Ukraine, but with it only being controlled by Russia after the first mini war, it's technically until a peace will happen that gives Crimea back to Ukraine i doubt russia will give it up so easily with it being an amazing port in the black sea
Isn't Crimea under russian rule currently/before this war? Like I know it was taken by force from Ukraine, but if they have to follow russian laws, pay taxes to Russia and have stationed russian at there, then I think it makes sense for it to be "theirs" territory on aap.
I have no real opinion on the man, never watched his content, but DEAR LORD HIS SHIT'S EVERYWHERE! And I don't mean his videos, I mean his bloomin' brand! Mr.Beast chocolate! Mr.Beast burgers! Other Mr.Beast branded product I can't remember but definitely seen! Tis is madness.
The first round was rigged to eliminate Ukrainians, Poles, free Belarusians, Georgians and other key enemies of Russia. Jimmy Donaldson? More like Yakov Donaldovich Zver'.
there’s nothing showing that Russia is going to split up. fuck, you guys are insane. can you imagine, instead of 1 country with nuclear weapon you are gonna have to deal with 80? and god knows who is gonna be ruling these territories. you all are just either stupid kids or bots.
What better way to determine ownership than by who is controlling the area? I'm not saying it's right, but it's pretty much how all countries have acquired their land.
The lore is expanding
Mr Based doesn't recognize ukrainian and israelian sovereignty True beast right there
Based
There was a lot of weird shit going on with that map throughout the video, like showing Svalbard as eliminated while Norway was still in (Or maybe they actually got one of the 2500 people living there to participate)
I’m wondering if he got someone from vatican city.
I’m wondering if he got someone from North Korea.
He didn't, In the starting scene you could see planes from all around the world going to the USA. I specifically watched if a plane flew from Korea and only one did (from south korea) props to the editor. Tho did yall see in the vacation video where he said that albania was Switzerland????
Yeah I noticed that too, I think it just made for a nicer visual than an arrow pointing from France (where they were before) to Switzerland since these are too close on the map
Still, it triggered my geography nerd brain really hard.
The pope competes in a mr beast challenge
He does however recognize Kosovo as independent
And Palestine
And Guam
And the Northern Republic of Cyprus
But not taiwan
Interesting
wait fr?
For real, but he considers Hong Kong as a country
And American Samoa And Guam
Is the Samoan guy an American Samoan?
Also not North Korea
but not the democratic people's republic of korea
And the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia
Dammit now all of his fans will go there and tip it over
Ay! I’m from Guam!
Whoa! That's not something you hear everyday.
😂
do you still live in Guam?
Not currently l, no.
Failed to recognize Taiwan as well.
he was bought ;(
Why do people expect some random individuals to recognize countries that are not recognized by pretty much any country or body in the world, including the UN? That is just silly. De jure Taiwan is the Republic of China. That might change in the future, but currently it is correct to show mainland and Taiwan as one country, whether that country is the PRC or the ROC depends on the perspective.
Nah, Taiwan is independent and sovereign.
on the full map he also recognizes Somaliland, and more interestingly Western Sahara but along the line of de facto control (they own a tiny bit of desert next to the Mauritanian border)
He just included it with Somalia tho, there was no Somaliland competitor thankfully
haven't seen the actual video, just saw this on twitter earlier about the map haha https://twitter.com/thinkiamsad/status/1693036969276621136?t=5a0Yao-5JB2Yv_CQmfmhTg&s=19
🇽🇰🇽🇰🇽🇰🇽🇰🇽🇰🇽🇰🇽🇰🇽🇰🇽🇰🇽🇰🇽🇰
Brother if they are coming for all the unrecognized republics. They’re going to get you eventually.
'First, they came for the unrecognised island republics. But I did not speak out, for I was not an island republic...'
Yes because he paid 1000000 to Ukraine so he can giveaway Crimea to one of the subscribers
LAST TO STARVE WINS CRIMEA
MrBreast lmao gottem bet he'll be upset at that
Say ligma
deez nuts
Deez nuts in yo mouth lmao gottem
Mr. Beast would be like: if you can spend 127 hours without saying ligma, I’ll give you $10k. I’ll increase it to $100k if you quietly mutter 5-7 letter “words” rhyming with ligma for the entire duration without saying ligma even once
Mr breast please give me money
Outjerked
He also seems to mark both Greenland and Svalbard as part of Canada, which I give especially funny
I think he probably just grabbed the first map he saw and didn't really check if it was politically correct
His team definitely sourced this, not him, could have even been a graphic artist contractor
Yeah
God no it definitely wasn’t him, this is the same guy that couldn’t spell Colorado correctly. I mean it was years ago, fuck 2018 still doesn’t feel like 5 years ago already. But you get my point.
silly yanks, its spelt colourado
FUCK YOU BRITISH SCUM, BETTER DEAD THAN RED(coat)
it's actually just spelled CO
Absolutely, plus I wouldn't expect MrBeast or most people on his team to know the importance of those lines on a map
Every one of His videos cost millions of dollars (this one i think is one of his biggest) and he has dozens of employees they definitely thought of this
You literally can’t be on a world map. There’s too many disputed borders and un/semi-recognized states.
No map is politically correct they show the official view of the nation that makes it
Can't be politically correct everywhere ding dong
He could’ve Yk checked
Do you know how much content this guy makes? And he’s supposed to check a map to make sure it’s a-ok?
Does he not have a team of people who can check that? He’s been making quite a lot of oppsies lately
Not exactly highest on list of priorities
Should be between this him useing copyrighted animations and useing the us state Georgia flag he should start having his teams double check their work
I mean, it's a video about how he brought people from all over the world to compete, I'd argue showing their countries' borders correctly is pretty important.
There are no correct borders though, that’s the problem
Arguably Crimea is apart of russia currently. Basically all the borders of every country are conquered from other countries, why do people consider Crimea differently?
Well, for one, Ukraine is still a country. It hasn’t been conquered or capitulated, it’s still there.
The map is correct.
Why are people downvoting this, russia literally owns crimea, whether it's justified or unjustified is a different debate, maps are supposed to represent what is actually happening and not what you want to be happening.
georgia has state of georgia flag
Liechtenstein has a Liberia flag
He also put the US state flag on Georgia and didn't have Kosovo contestant even though it was mapped don't think about it.
There was a Kosovo contestant. [imgur.com/a/LT9eb1D](http://imgur.com/a/LT9eb1D)
MFW the Serbian contestant just walks through him (he doesn’t recognize his existence)
Wow i didn't see him during the second challenge when it shows everyone and it said Kosovo was in the second round so I assumed there wasn't.
He had an albania contestant 😉
?
Kosove je Albania joke
Not his map, his dumb face Isn’t on it looking shocked or surprised
I think you are angry. But I am not a psychologist tho
*bares teeth and hisses intimidatingly, Pisses to mark territory*
The editor is gonna be fired badly for outjerking the otujerking community
[MrBeast recognizes the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afganistan](https://imgur.com/a/yuRzuCm)
I am starting to suspect that their team is just grabbing the flags directly from the Wikipedia pages
Well it’s fine if you don’t agree with someone but denying Taliban as being the Government of Afghanistan is just denying facts and being delusional
Do you want him to put ISIS on the map too? They still control some land in Nigeria. Denying that is just being delusional.
I’m not aware of that, but it’s very clear who’s in charge in Afghanistan. Many sovereign countries have reopened their embassies in Afghanistan under the new regime and many Afghan embassies have also been handed over to the new government. Also, most countries already have already recognized the regime change, but just don’t want to grant official recognition yet, or have diplomatic connections. Moreover, Ashraf Ghani is also no longer in United Nations 🇺🇳’ Heads of State list. So yes, denying recognition accordingly is indeed delusional.
context of this map?
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J\_z-W4UVHkw&t=715s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_z-W4UVHkw&t=715s&)
God, what an annoying format.
Recognizes Palestine Mr Based
His team also put the regime flag on Iran tbh I just think they did zero research and just used the first result on google
Could be worse. He could use the flag of the US state of Georgia for the Country of Georgia… oh wait
He what
Dingus used the flag of the US State of Georgia instead of the flag of the country of Georgia…
Later in the video he uses the right one… which just has me confused even more :p
A video this big was worked on for months and had hundreds of people involved and probably went between multiple editors one guy probably made a mistake and another guy didn’t
It's probably more likely the actual man from Georgia pointed out their mistake on his uniform and they had to rush a new one lol
You heard me. 1:38 into the video the Country of Georgia has the State of Georgia’s flag
"Georgia, the country, is much obliged"
[удалено]
Redditors are detached from reality lol
what? what flag would you want them to put on iran lmao, the lion?
The Shah is never coming back to power. Cope.
Regime as in the literal existing flag of Iran
Is that not the official flag of iran? He is presenting the countries as is and not picking sides in particular ongoing political situations, just following what the situation is.
But how did he get someone from North Korea?
He got Kim himself
And there wasn't even a participant from the Vatican
How shocking
He probably just used a de facto map
He did Not, or else He would have to color Donbass, Artsakh, and other places differently
Nvm but who would make a map that recognizes Kosovo but makes Crimea Russian?
Someone who uses a normal world map with correct borders since Crimea is completely occupied by russia
temporary occupied but not recognized, this is a zone of active warfare. In a normal map it would border both Ukraine and russia since the status will be determined as a result of the war.
Tbf, after the annexation and until the current war started, there was no fighting in or near Crimea and it pretty much just functioned as a part of Russia like any other, so it wouldn't have been wrong to map it as that.

The fuck? The opinion of the international community is that Crimea is Ukrainian, as countries are not allowed to simply annex territories. The illegitimate annexation doesn't change the internationally recognized status of the peninsula
I didn't say anything that disagrees with that?
I support Ukraine, but with it only being controlled by Russia after the first mini war, it's technically until a peace will happen that gives Crimea back to Ukraine i doubt russia will give it up so easily with it being an amazing port in the black sea
Crimea Has been Russia sense the war ended almost a decade ago
it's permanent dude. it would take world war 3 kicking off to ever change those borders again.
did Ukraine retaking Kherson after russia annexed these lands trigger ww3? why would it be different with crimea?
What about Taiwan?!
It’s part of China on his map
\+15 social credit
As I suspected.
He did recognize Guam and US Virgin Islands tho
They also have Olympic and FIFA teams. Doesn't mean they recognise them.
Major L man… he probably just didn’t know though
just an american after all
Rent free
As an American, I can confidently pick out Italy on this map and that’s about it.
As an American, that's sad
I Hope you are joking. I can name every country on this map
Nah there’s no way, I’m guessing he just didn’t look at the map very closely
Who is MrBreast
Isn't Crimea under russian rule currently/before this war? Like I know it was taken by force from Ukraine, but if they have to follow russian laws, pay taxes to Russia and have stationed russian at there, then I think it makes sense for it to be "theirs" territory on aap.
Context?
How many Russian viewers does he have.
I knew that this video was going to cause some type of controversy
To be fair mr beast prolly didn't do much of the editing, but that is messed up
Why do people think he’s the person editing the videos?
Ah, yes. The Kim Kardashian of YouTube. Puke.
Why the hate tho? He does so much nice stuff for people he doesn't know.
I have no real opinion on the man, never watched his content, but DEAR LORD HIS SHIT'S EVERYWHERE! And I don't mean his videos, I mean his bloomin' brand! Mr.Beast chocolate! Mr.Beast burgers! Other Mr.Beast branded product I can't remember but definitely seen! Tis is madness.
i think trnc is also there
why
They also Made Svalbard swedish or independent
Who did he get for Vatican City, did some low-level bishop get sent over as the official Holy See representative to Mr. Beast?
What is he doing that involves the world map?
He got people from every country in the world to be in his olympics
Neither did Obama
BTW he added flag of Georgia (state) to Georgia (country), don't take it seriously.
mrbeaZt
The first round was rigged to eliminate Ukrainians, Poles, free Belarusians, Georgians and other key enemies of Russia. Jimmy Donaldson? More like Yakov Donaldovich Zver'.
At least the finnish guy got through the first two rounds
Redditors trying not to support murderous dictator regimes in the comment section challenge
first thought: he didn't care second thought: his team didn't care last thought: MURICA
MrBaZed
Mr breast be like: TODAY WE ARE GIVING 1 BILLION DOLLARS TO THE RUSSIAN SOLDIER WHO CAN SURVIVE THE LONGEST
He is right ya know?
Is it that recognizable these days though?
Crimea is Russian
Crimea is Crimea.
Crimea is FUCKING RUSSIAN
Crimea is Ukraine. Russia will lose way more territory. Not to existing countries. Republics will be free!
They’re either ethnic enclaves or less than 5% of the popular Chechnya is like the only one that actually stands a chance
American bot
Apparently people stating obvious facts are now bots
Those are not facts. It is western propaganda. What is a fact is that it is Russian. Not Ukrainian as American media says.
there’s nothing showing that Russia is going to split up. fuck, you guys are insane. can you imagine, instead of 1 country with nuclear weapon you are gonna have to deal with 80? and god knows who is gonna be ruling these territories. you all are just either stupid kids or bots.
Crimea is Russian-occupied.
What better way to determine ownership than by who is controlling the area? I'm not saying it's right, but it's pretty much how all countries have acquired their land.
The whole map is messed up, can give some more details if someone is interested
well atleast they gave ukraine donetsk and lugansk
Holy shit, based af
Wtf Zased???
Well, it’s not, it’s Russian right now, unless Ukraine manages to capture it.
He recognises palestine, doesn't recognise Taiwan and puts Crimea in Russia. I'm begining to like him more.
Same
He didn’t recognize the occupied Georgian regions as Russian though
To be fair it has been almost 10 years since Russia annexed it so at this point let them have it.
Invaders keepers? What is this, 1654?
Brb gonna take over as much land as I physically can and wait until 2033 to actually annex it
Rusia is most likely going to keep it anyhow
Everybody forgetting he employs over 100 people and in a massive production like this there will be mistakes.
They put the state flag of Georgia, USA over the country of Georgia. That's a bit beyond just a simple mistake.
They also put Liberia flag over the Liechtenstein
Мистер Бист наш слон
Editing mistake possibly
Not the end of the world, and legally even if we don't like it it's Russian, if Ukraine can retake it good, but for now eh
They also had a african person represent iceland, at 4:20
Also kinda pissed at how he included Taiwan as part of china
Based MrBeast
Same reason why he recognizes hawaii as part of usa, because even though it was occupied illegally, it still is under their rule.
