Watch: Yakko's World, sung by the actual countries' leaders

I think Scotland just about makes it, they lost Berwick and gained Orkney and Shetland just over 500 years ago.

One Kingdom, but separate countries with unchanged borders. Scotland still has a different legal system to England and Wales today.

There are still disputes over clans that were split over whether they were based in Scotland (who get their own tartan and crest) or England (who don’t). Some of the English clans were later recognised as cadet branches of Scottish clans, but not all of them.

Even a song about planets or taxonomy would be risky :slight_smile:

I’m really impressed that maker of that video was able to get all those world leaders to agree to participate in something so frivolous.

I feel this bodes well for the larger challenges facing the world over the coming decades.
