I hope you liked watching keith's and my mom's muumuu anyway

this is usually the part where I correct some of the mistakes that I made in the episode first of all I

Accidentally said that this guy was the king when in reality it's Mindaugas not Gediminias

Is that how you pronounce it? And probably not when I accidentally misspelled Vytautas

"Vytautas"?? Also that whole Lietus-va thing was a joke

It's not actually true

But man like three Lithuanian is like emailed me that

and it was also like in a video that I saw on YouTube so I thought it was true

Because there's like four confirmations, but apparently it's not true like you sneaky Lithuanians tricking me into thinking things are true

Nah I'm just kidding you guys are cool. Also in the friend zone,

I did have some people mentioned that I forgot to highlight the Crimea area of Ukraine just to kind of distinguish the fact that it's

Under disputed area territory tricky subject to tackle. And finally some things I could have mentioned

But I just didn't have time

I wanted to talk a little bit more about how they had a small micro nation called the Paulava Republic

It was like a really cool system that gave rights to everyday citizens as opposed to

Serfdom back in the what do you called Middle Ages or something the Caronian spit was like a huge like?

Historical site because like Teutonic Knights to go for it, and there was this big battle thing that happened

And I don't really have time to get into it now because we have to get to the flag so without further ado...

Ahh Lithuania,

It was so fun researching you and guys seriously like if you're gonna travel to Europe like right now is the perfect time to go

To the Baltic kind of like one of those you know offshoot areas that aren't really too popular

But they're kind of starting to get really popular right now, so you got to do it before everybody jumps in anyway now

let's talk about the flag. The flag is a horizontal tricolour of yellow green and red yellow standing for the Sun and

Prosperity green standing for the forest and the countryside as well as liberty and hope

and the red stands...

for

Once again guys that was made by the one and only Ken, you guys know him. Follow him on instagram.

Ken You've avoided getting fired one more week so in appreciation

I will give you this almost completely used up roll of tape

Anyway, moving on. Now keep in mind, this flag was actually adopted during the first brief independence period during

1918 to 1944 I believe did it get there right yeah 44

Then the Soviets came in and they gave him like a wide range of Soviet flags might also see this flag quite a bit which

Is kind of like equally considered as much of a national symbol as the regular flag is first documented to have been used in?

1410 but then it was like

readapted in

2004 which brings us to the coat of arms the coat of arms is a red shield with an armor clad knight on horseback

Holding a sword and shield known as the Vytis the knight is just a general knight not alluding to any specifical

Historical figure even though some say it could stand for

the grand duke Vytautas?

but it's not confirmed by any government documents over the years the knight symbol has been used throughout almost every variant and iteration of

Lithuania as history except for the time that they're under the Soviet empire when they used this coat of arms, so yeah

that is

Pretty much it for the flag and coat of arms so that means you know what time it is it's time for geography

And mail time so while I was gone on my break you guys kept sending in the fan mail and it's really been piling up
