Country World Records

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, China, recited 10 country names in Mandarin from memory, 中国、韩国、日本、朝鲜、美国、法国、埃及、印度、智利、巴西 (China, South Korea, Japan, North Korea, the United States, France, Egypt, India, Chile and Brazil), in 2.51 seconds. With eyes shut and a smartwatch stopwatch at chest height, Yanhao starts the watch from 00:00.00, rattles off all ten and stops it at 00:02.51, a lap of five continents at about a quarter of a second per country. RecordSetter checked the clip frame by frame against the watch and the soundtrack: the upload is a screen recording whose sound trails the picture by about half a second, and the spoken list itself lasts about 2.44 seconds, inside the time on the watch.

Cédric Waldburger, 34, and Rainer-Marc Frey, 59, visited 30 countries in 24 hours, setting a new world record on August 23, 2022. The trip was an adventure planned throughout the pandemic, taking Waldburger and Frey two and half years to coordinate the trips by car, taxi, helicopter and private plane. Each ton of CO2 produced on the trip will be offset twice. It took them 14 hours to break the previous world record, which was set at 19 countries in 2014 by Gunnar Garfors, when they arrived in San Marino to make it 20 countries, but they still had 10 hours in their day, and so they continued on their journey by plane to Dubrovnik, making Croatia country number 21. More than two years of planning between corona isolations all paid off when their plane landed in Budapest, Hungary, at 11:15 p.m. In all, Waldburger and Frey put both feet on the ground in 30 European countries. The 30 countries they visited were: Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, Italy, San Marino, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania and Hungary.

Every good night in the South has one thing in common - it always begins (or ends) at the local Honky Tonk! You know the one I’m talking about - that local, familiar, neighborhood hole-in-the-wall that makes you feel at home. A venue that’s filled with the vibes somewhere in the middle of “Sweet Home Alabama” and the bar where “everyone knows your name.” In the South, the honky tonk is a tradition as old as country music itself, and although it can get a bit rambunctious from time to time, it brings the community together to celebrate, laugh, dance, and of course, make memories! The Nextdoor team knows that the honky tonk is an important part of their neighborhood! So when creating their Nextdoor 100 Neighborhood pop-up, which will be going on tour with GRAMMYⓇ award-winning recording artist and actor Tim McGraw, a Honky Tonk is a must. But this is no average Honky Tonk – in fact, you could call it EXTREMELY below average! At every stop on this 17-stop tour, The Nextdoor team, in conjunction with Tim McGraw and Shareability, will set-up and host The World’s Smallest Honky Tonk. This closet-sized space, measuring 6x6 feet, has everything a traditional country shindig would! Lights, fun wall decor and of course, live music from a local band– perfect for dancing! It will attract passerbyers to come and stop in for some laughs, memories, and of course, to step on the dance floor. In promotion of the Nextdoor 100, this downsized neighborhood watering hole will pay homage to the small businesses and amazing neighbors that keep our community strong, and of course, since the Nextdoor 100 is all about neighbors celebrating neighbors - everyone at the show is invited to come party!
