7 sovereign countries that end with land

What did you think?

Ireland, Iceland, Finland and New Zealand come quickly to Donny. Then naming sovereign countries ending in "land" becomes a much longer trip around the map, with regional hints needed to reach Switzerland, Poland and Thailand.

"7 sovereign countries that end with land" is Drop A Pin's most-watched upload of the week, with more than half a million views. The qualifier matters: England and Scotland aren't eligible, and a suggestion of Swaziland eventually sends Donny to his phone to confirm its name is now Eswatini.

Viewers have turned the comments into an extra round. Some ask whether Germany's German name, Deutschland, should count; others propose the United Kingdom's full name. One playful suggestion gives the Netherlands extra credit for being plural. It's a neat demonstration of how a simple geography prompt can become a question about language and naming rules.

The week's travel wasn't all verbal. In "We Brought KB to Montreal for 24 Hours | Daytripping with Don & Chaps", Wonton Don, Uncle Chaps and KB pack bagels, poutine, Mount Royal and a Canadiens game into a single-day visit.

Across fifteen uploads, the channel added 5,000 subscribers. Its daily viewing is running above its usual pace, while The Geography Bible's is close to normal and Platypus Economics with Justin Wolfers is also enjoying an elevated daily audience.

The land quiz has the week's largest new-upload total, but the strongest viewing momentum currently belongs to "What country did this take place in? #veteransday". The Canadian cities quiz and the Marine Corps birthplace question are also keeping Drop A Pin's trivia cards busy.

What viewers say

Netherlands should count for at least 2 .... if not all 7... since it's plural. 😁
