@C. Nobody really needs to know your existence here, after all, you aren't some overly-glorified channel reviewer leaving undesired comments left right and center.

You can keep your snarky attitude that was portrayed throughout this video. I won't visit this channel again.
I love the little political commentary you sneak in the middle of sentences
“I own this” _No... somebody has arrived before you and already clai-_ “I own this” _Oh sorry my mistake_
New land China : it's mine Found oil in New land US: it needs democracy Everyone got settled Britain : i am here only for business, don't misunderstand me
An HAI video simply cannot exist without a sponsorship from Nebula, CuriosityStream, or Skillshare.
Well, Tom Nook is here to claim any new island you got
If I ever got a hold of an island I would make it Fart Island in honor of Bob’s Burgers.
Finders keepers I assume
HAI: "Country beats man, especially Hong Kong" me: *audibly inhales*
But surely, if a new island appears in the territorial waters of an existing country then it automatically belongs to that country? Or is it not that simple?
Make sure to watch CGP’s video about who owns the islands between New York and New Jersey. New York made its island bigger and New Jersey gets the extra land haha
Why wait for islands to form when you can just make them yourself tho
3:05 ez It’s owned by the UK
Love knows no borders. Nor does Britain.
I was thinking it was, whoever got there first and can confirm it controls them if in international waters
Britain
Chandler does
China
Scientists manipulate most of their research to get funded . People always say there is no corruption in the scientific community but in fact there’s a lot . The scientific process works . I trust the scientific process, but I don’t trust the person doing it
Belp
Me off DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Dibs!
I do of course stupid question
ALERT: This message has been deemed “child danger, sexual, offensive, death threat” by the Official Chinese Government President 迪克黑德·拉莫 due to the amount of love to the proclamation of Hong Kong being free. Please, read at your own costs. winnie the pooh lmao
He called nishinoshima shinto nishoshima shinto
I mean Chandler owns an island so I guess him?
3:33 the part where he said someone just comes along and takes it and shows a Cowboy put his .44 revolver on the table: priceless
Here we are after Mr.Beast Bought an island
maybe we should give it to them sinking nations, like tuvalu or marshall islands.
I'm reminded of the fledgling potential new country island of Abalonia.
every comment here is about china, and i love it
Me
Oh boy there's going to be a stir when they find Krakatoa
Easy it belongs to the earth.
If I find an island I would try claiming it as mine, make my own flag and build a small self sufficient house on it with a small airport for my ultralight to take off from
Not enjoying the political overtones here
I assumed that whoever owns the territorial waters that the new island was created in would end up owning it.
Who owns new Islands ? if there is Bird Pop the US ! althe.info/number/vaPFkXiMq5R3hp0/video
A French journalist named what?
you forgot "manmade islands". go google that british guy! it's an island built upon recycling-bottles! xD
Why you speak so fast???
Imagine just being in a helicopter just waiting to claim a new island
Hai: if you want to learn more about islands, and what its like living on them Me: mate i literally live on an island, you can tell by me queen bean.
Thank you for showing picture of Hong Kong people threatened by police because of dictatorship
5:00 yeah I watched that for free on yt
Old chap england, of course
Note to self: carry around an American flag while sailing just in case I find a new island so I can claim it
2:50 why is spain red
Love when they stim out about climate change like it's a thing
Am I the only one who read "Who owns New Zealand" before clickin it?
“And country beats man. Especially in Hong Kong” 🤭 facts
And if it has bird poop it belongs to the U.S.
"Everybody loves islands" *happy Madeiran noises*
Neat
4:41 Tanzania did not exist in 1963, it was called Tanganikya and it was smaller
Well, it depends on if it has oil. If it does then, The US: "I hear it calling out for freedom"
Unclaimed land: *exists* Every single dang country: *its free real estate*
3:29 "[...] somebody just claims that they own it, and if they get enough people and countries to believe them, then they become right" _anxious Serbian noises_

Islands!
Me. I own all the islands. And all the land.
Island: *exists* U.K.: Hello Sudan's replacement, welcome to the Empire of Random Rocks from my Collection!
The only diffrence between German and Britain is that the German gave ALL of their empire back to the nations, which it belongs to. Britain........didn‘t.
What's the deal with HAI and New Zealand?
The never ending shade he’s throwing at anti global warmers and colonialism 🤣🤣🤣
An island could also be formed by artificial construction (which automatically claims it, unless Antarctica, Bir Tawil or Liberland constructed it, or if it is the Principality of Sealand)
Unclaimed island: exists The British: *Breaths heavily*
Can't believe you probably gave up monetarization for those 5 seconds.
This is random, but is Internet Historian on the Nebula creator team? Just asking since I'm interested, and he seems like he would be perfect for a platform like that.
2:15 Yet we still have some people who think they are wrong for no reason. *coughtrumpcough*
I think new island that jumps out like in nowhere in sea, belongs to country in which economical zone or maritime therithory it is.
Who denies climate change now anyways
me
If the guy whom planted the flag had stayed on the island and started building a settlement (and used his own flag instead of a company’s) he would have been given the right to create his own country.
Closest capital city should own it. Only fair.
"Rock beats scissors, and country beats a man. Especially in Hong Kong" 😂😂😂 That was brilliant 👍
2:22 : Boomers: No
0:19 Yikes™
4:22 "especially in Hong Kong." Lmao
Yo y’all gonna make a country next
[Insert joke about british empire here]
Especially in Hong Kong.... U reminded me of my friend, he lives in Hong Kong and was once an exchange student to my school. It’s kinda sad to think that he’s probably fighting on the street now......
