Germany and Canada are two really fascinating countries ones that I
personally, both love
Not only do they have great culture and great people within it, but they are big
Contributors around the world who help other countries when in need and today you're on FTD facts just for fun
We are gonna look at what would happen if Germany and Canada actually joins together becoming one powerful nation. Hey everybody
How's it going? Dave Walpole here and welcome to FTD facts. The channel will read. Well, generally we just talk about countries a lot
It's kind of like our jam. It's really really cool. But here today we are looking at just for fun
I know you guys are gonna say hey, wait a minute. This would never actually happen
Well, what if it did just what if it did what if for example, we just decided to say, you know?
What guys we're gonna shake hands and we're gonna hang out and just be one big nation
I say that because I've been to Germany and I'm Canadian as well
So it would be kind of cool and also on top of that
The reason we are doing this video is because we did a whole video on
Which country is better Germany or Canada? And a lot of you guys had a lot of things to say about it?
So we thought instead of separating them. Let's bring them together now before we get in this video
Just letting you guys know if you guys want part 2's or more stuff on that hit those like buttons because we always love looking
At the like buttons and if we know that the like buttons are really high then we know we got do more videos on Germany
Or videos on Canada ie all that stuff and also just letting you know
This video has been sponsored by pirates of the carribean tides of war
But as for that I'll talk about at the end of the video because let's get into the meat and potatoes now
Let's take a quick look at population. Now Canada has approximately 35 million 150
1728 people Germany as of its last kind of rough estimate has approximately 82 million
800,000 people and if we were to combine these two together, they would have a population of
117 million 850
1728 people now for Canada. It ranks at 38th and Germany ranks at 16th
But with them together they bump up to 12 actually being bigger than Japan. Mm-hmm now stretching it out even further
let's take a look at land size because Canada is
Huge I mean it is a big
Big country in total Canada has a land size of nine million nine hundred and eighty four thousand six hundred and seventy kilometers
Square with Germany being a little bit smaller than that with
fifty-seven thousand
168 kilometres square, okay, really not a little bit smaller
But a lot smaller either way combining these two they would be at ten million
Three hundred and forty-one thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight kilometres square and of course, Canada
Although already ranks the second they couldn't beat things like Russia so they would still be at second. It's just the way it is
So one thing that would definitely change is the capital of this country and it would be a really hard thing to discuss and figure
out because if the country did exist it would almost be like
Portugal and Brazil way back in the day
where Brazil's Rio de Janeiro was actually the country of Portugal now one thing for sure that would definitely change would be the dollar because
for Canada's currency
It's actually lower than the United States dollar but for Germany
It's actually a lot higher using the euro and whether or not Germany decided to leave the European Union to join, Canada
Due to the fact that Germany has so many products and a crap ton of exports Canada's currency would just boom shoot through the roof
Immediately and this may actually cause a lot of problems because there's actually good trading that goes back and forth between America and Canada
But either way just for fun. Let's take a look at the GDP the gross domestic product in purchasing power
Parity now Canada has approximately one point eight four seven trillion dollars and Germany's GDP
sits at four point one seven one trillion combined
They would have a GDP of six point zero one eight trillion dollars now for Germany. They already sit at fifth
But they would go up to fourth and would beat the country of Japan and to go in further
Let's take a quick look at exports because that's also important as well
I'm not gonna look at imports just exports for now because for exports Canada exports about eight hundred and fifty six billion dollars and
Germany has about three point zero four
trillion and combining these two they would have approximately three point eight nine six trillion dollars in exports now again,
That's just a rough estimation because we also have to take into a fact of the exports that go between the two countries and subtract
It out
For example Canada exports approximately four point seven eight billion dollars to Germany and stuff like that is using gas turbines iron ore
radioactive chemicals and oddly enough coin and for Germany
They export approximately thirteen point nine billion dollars to Canada. Most of that twenty one. None of it is actually cars
there's also turbine engines packaged medicaments human or animal blood and much more in total if we have to subtract these
Costs back and forth to each other
It would equal approximately eighteen point six eight billion dollars with a total export coming to three point eight seven seven trillion
Which would actually still put them at second in the world. Now, let's go take a look at military
that's also pretty important as well in total their military personnel with these two countries together being as one they would have a personnel of
Two hundred ninety six thousand six hundred and forty one with an active personnel of two hundred and forty two
Thousand six hundred and forty-one people of that
they would have one thousand one hundred twenty seven aircraft five hundred and twelve tanks seven thousand six hundred and
Twenty-four armored fighting vehicles and of course one hundred and forty four Navy craft
Keep in mind both countries don't have any aircraft carriers. Canada hasn't had one since like the 1970s
So now generally we also like to look at Olympic medals and other achievements of the country and speaking of Olympic medals
We should mention that these two countries are also pretty huge into hockey. Although hockey not being the major sport of Germany
It is still quite a very like thing now for Canada their Olympic medals sit at 500 won with approximately
136 gold medals for Germany. They have a lot more of
824 Olympic medals in total and
269 gold medals in total they would have
1325 total Olympic medals and four hundred and five gold medals and keep in mind if this was to actually happen
They would actually beat Russia when it comes to total medals, but they wouldn't beat them four gold medals
Also, let's mention one major fact considering Canada really really loves hockey
one thing that would change while I guess in soccer as well is the Hockey League's and all the sports leagues would have a major
Major change, for example, just when it comes to hockey in Germany
They have the de L. And Canada has the NHL and many other smaller leaves as well
Of course
There would be a good chance that you would see more German players in the NHL and some people may think that the de L
May cease to exist in this scenario, but keep in mind guys
that is a long flight for NHL players to go from America all the way over to Germany or
Even German players to come all the way over and you know vice-versa
It's a lot of work so you could say that there will probably be two separate leagues. I mean, that's all theoretical again
I don't like to get into theory stuff, but there's a logical conclusion right there
so one other thing that I haven't mentioned yet is
UNESCO and World Heritage Sites now currently in total Canada has 18 UNESCO sites and they are eight
Cultural and ten natural now Germany has a lot more of them being
42 with 39
Cultural and three natural and one thing that we should mention when it comes to these two countries if they were to merge
They would have some of the most important fossil sites in the entire world
For example, Canada has the dinosaur Provincial Park, which is located in Alberta
Canada and has been a major place for dinosaur fossils and in Germany they have the Messel pit fossil park
Which is located near Messel or just 35 kilometers southeast of Frankfurt and not only are they both major tourist attractions
but these are some of the most important geological sites in the world for
Paleontology finding hundreds of dinosaurs and mammals and although Canada has more dinosaurs found at aids Park
The one in Germany is very popular for finding mammals birds and reptiles
From an ancient past giving us a great understanding of our planet and its history
But either way if we were to take these two countries and combine them together when it comes to UNESCO World Heritage
Sites they would have a total of sixty being the country with the most UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the entire world as
Italy comes in at number one currently with 53 and last but not least. Let's take a look at Nobel Prizes
this is one of my favorites now Canada has 24 Nobel Prizes and Germany has
108 now for a Nobel Prize is the one reason I talk about this is because when it comes to any other countries
Forming under different things. They actually don't erase the Nobel Prizes
They actually keep them within that country and in total this would make them have
132 Nobel Prizes coming in second in the world under the United States but beating the UK so they have a guys
That's just a brief

This has been us looking at what would happen if Canada and Germany decided to become one big powerful nation
Sure, we missed many different changes on what could possibly happen and if you have some guesses on how that would go
Please let us know but the greatest part about what makes Germany and Canada allies already
Is that the regular day people share the same values of raising families working hard building safe and prosperous?
Environments for us all to live for these two nations
Canada and Germany make up the hearts of some of the greatest people on the planet
