Friday hope you like the st. Vincent and
the Grenadines episode oh what's that
I'm drinking from this geography now mug
while holding a geography now Jim sack
while wearing a geography now t-shirt
all of which you can get on geography
now calm why yes I am
my brand I can promote it if I want to
trust me by now you guys can kind of
tell if I'm selling out I'm really not
good at hiding it it's like download
this video game that has nothing to do
with geography and I don't give it about
yeah you guys can tell by now anyway as
you know this department talked about
the small mistakes we made in the
episode or the things that didn't quite
make it in the episode for one it's hi
Runa not high ruin i ruin his the name
of the beer company and the music
segment i meant to write to kevin little
featuring Mads art and in the country
they mostly use the type G plug outlet
with a MV sometimes included I forgot to
mention that the Garifuna spoke a
dialect of the Iraq language and also I
forgot to mention the relationship they
have with Belize Belize has one of the
highest populations of Garifuna people
in the whole world very close tie should
have put it in the friend zone they're
also known for producing high-quality
tennis rackets tennis player Pete
Sampras is known for refusing to play
with any tennis racket unless if it's
made in st. Vincent and the Grenadines
in 2020 they initiated a nationwide
plastic bag ban and styrofoam disposable
foodservice item banned the locals will
also joke that there's a lot of
conveniently located administrative
buildings in the country for example
there's a courthouse next to the prison
there's a cemetery behind the hospital
and there's a mental institution next to
the college also like many other former
British colonial islands in the
Caribbean
st. Vincent and the Grenadines to some
extent uses imperial units like miles
and gallons Oh woohoo the US and Liberia
are not alone and finally in regards to
et Joshua Airport they're planning on
just dismantling the whole thing and
making it into an extension of the city
with shopping centers and housing units
so yeah that is just about it now we got
to talk about the flag so without
further ado this was such a great
episode to film and it's very funny
because right after I announced that the
Tourism Authority of Saint Lucia was
gonna help me out with the Saint Lucia
episode the Tourism Authority of Saint
Vincent like hit me up the day after and
they're like hey well how would you like
us to help you out things very funny
they're kind of like hmmm if st. Lucia
can do it why can't we either way thank
you so much Tourism Authority of Saint
Vincent and the Grenadines so anyway the
flag the flag is composed of a vertical
tricolor of blue
and green with a double with gold band
in the middle in addition there are
green diamonds arranged in a V pattern
in the center the blue represents the
tropical sky and the crystal waters the
yellow stands for the golden grenadine
sands even though many of their beaches
are black volcanic sand but okay and the
green stands for the islands lush
vegetation the diamonds allude to the
saying that saint vincent and the
grenadines are the gems of the entities
and they are positioned in the V pattern
to symbolize V for Vincent prior to this
they had a few other flags they actually
had the same flag but it had the emblem
plus a breadfruit tree leaf on it and
prior to that they had you know the
Union Jack one with the same emblem
however the first Europeans to come in
and colonize were actually the French so
it goes back to 1663 I think king louis
xiv and after that the french pretty
much only fought the British once and
they're like ah you guys can have it
anyway the national emblem the national
emblem of saint vincent and the
grenadines has a cotton plant on top as
cotton was once a former crop heavily
grown here and a banner at the bottom
reading peace and justice in latin in
the center is a colonial badge shaped
frame with an image depicting peace and
justice the two women are wearing
classical Roman dresses one holding an
olive branch symbolizing peace and the
other a scale of justice as she kneels
before a golden altar between them with
two shaking hands engraved on it and
that's pretty much the only coat of arms
they've had fun little fact I forgot to
mention one reason why they love their
national bird the amazona guild engi
because the feathers of the bird have
the colors of the flag on it here is a
feather I got from the Botanical Gardens
it was just lying on the ground and
Gordon gave it to me he's like you can
have it I'm like okay I know they love
their bird it's really cool when you see
the birds up front they even talk a
little bit how are you alright he said

the people on geography don't know that
much about geography full disclosure
most of these wanderer now don't really
have an expertise in geography they just
read the teleprompter I write all the

effort and that's someone who doesn't
know about geography as much as Paul
does it is great to learn it's an
