A Saudi strip, Taiwan's offshore islands and Mexico's war with Japan
Three map questions went up on Geo All Day, and about 4,000 new subscribers arrived during the week.

Why Taiwan Controls Islands Right Next to China 🇹🇼🇨🇳
Geo All Day lives on one kind of question, the kind a map raises and a textbook rarely answers, and this week it asked three of them.
The newest, "Why Qatar Is Cut Off From the UAE 🇶🇦🇦🇪", had the strongest start. It passed 235,000 views in its first day and is now the channel's fastest-moving video. Anyone who looks at the Gulf coast can see the puzzle: Qatar and the Emirates sit side by side, yet they never touch, because a narrow stretch of Saudi coastline runs between them.
The longer conversation is under "Why Taiwan Controls Islands Right Next to China 🇹🇼🇨🇳", which is approaching half a million views. Its commenters keep returning to one odd detail: islands governed from Taipei that, they say, get much of their drinking water from the mainland they sit beside. One viewer writes that he did his military service there. Others add their own family ties to both shores.
A ZIP code explainer, posted at the start of the week, was the quiet one of the three.
Ten days on, "Why Mexico Went to War With Japan 🇲🇽🇯🇵" is past one and a half million views and still busy. That is a good result for a war most people do not remember Mexico joining.
The channel drew more views a day than usual. Among the explainer and history channels nearest its size, only English with Steve Ford gained more views over the week, and that channel is having an unusually large one. Sunn m'Cheaux is also running well above its normal pace.
