Must be fun to just be able to travel wherever and settle down wherever you want to, without having to prove that youve lived there for 5 years and get a PR or do do a citizenship exam. Earth belongs to humans but now with all the rules to keep out those that got the bad region in birth lottery

Your content would be much better if your subtle racist comments werent part of who you are I know that people will get triggered by my post but such is life. Its hard to catch but its there in almost all the videos Ive watched. And thats why its called systemic racism.

The Scotland/England border doesn't even separate the Scots from the English. It separates the Scots from the southern Scots, because northern English people's DNA is far closer to the Scottish people's DNA than to the southern English people's DNA.

How did Ancient/Medieval Borders Work? They were violently dynamic. The land you could tax and defend defined your borders, more or less. Formal agreements aren't worth the parchment they're written on. Having hostages from your neighbors might help.

In Erbil's (ancient Arbela) archaeological museum, i saw a border stone warning in Latin and Greek, that you were leaving the Roman Empire to enter the Persian (Parthian) territory. Kinda Check-point Charlie vibe.

If you don't have strong borders, you don't have a country anymore!
(Meanwhile their Ur-example of bestest country ever had vague indefinite borders which people crossed and changed all the time)

To be honest, if rome decided it was going somewhere it tended to quickly become roman.
So it's borders could expand at anytime, that expansion might be a former country.

I thought everyone was basically racist enough that if you crossed a border without good reason you'd get tomatoed back to wherever the hell your people came from.

The centurions decided a legion's retreat
Almost as egregiously outrageous as your reasoning for why Mongols didn't invade Europe.
Which are both false

Really interesting video, though one issue is that your map of the Roman Empire includes the Isle of Man. But Mann was never part of the Roman Empire.

No heads? So how do you communicate with them?
Also, how did people come upon this conclusion? By direct observation or by word of mouth?

Actually borders were defined by land marks and were open to anyone to pass in or out except military units of other nations!

Even today people living on the English/Scottish Borders refer to themselves as Borderers rather than English or Scottish.
