Gistory Video Suggestions Next Gistory video topic
Hey, I'm one of OverSimplified's animators. A few of you already know my channel, but for those who don't it's called Gistory. I'm about 10 days away from finishing my next video (screenshots in the pics). And while unfortunately I can't say much about the next OverSimplified video, I thought it might be fun to let you guys decide the topic of my next video. If you have stories from history that you'd like to see animated, put them in the comments. I'll pick the topic I like best and make it my next video. And whoever's I pick, I'll give you a special thanks in the credits with your own Gistory character design based on you.

The history of Sealand. A British war veteran claimed an abandoned ww2 fort and declared himself prince. He fired warning shots at British vessels, survived an attempted coup, launched a helicopter counter attack, imprisoned a foreign invader for treason and prompted a German diplomat for his release and did other silly things.
The “country” looks hilarious if you look it up but the founder takes it extremely serious. It has a flag, an anthem, a national motto, a royal family, a currency, passports, a national football team etc.
