00:00There is a country that literally tried towing icebergs from Antarctica for fresh water.
00:05But that's not even the craziest part.
00:06These are the top 5 ridiculous things countries have done.
00:09The last one is absolutely wild.
00:11At number 5, North Korea built an entire fake city near the South Korean border.
00:16It's called Kaijong-dong, and it's full of bright lights and big buildings.
00:19But no one actually lives there.
00:20It's just for propaganda.
00:22At number 4, Denmark once tried to tax cows for farting.
00:25They said it was to help fight climate change because cow farts pollute the air.
00:28People hated the idea, and Denmark quietly dropped the plan.
00:32At number 3, in the Philippines, a giant chicken statue popped up in the middle of a town.
00:37No one knows why it's there, but now it's a famous landmark.
00:40At number 2, Alaska spent $400 million building a bridge to connect to an island with only 50 people.
00:45They called it the Bridge to Nowhere, and it was never even finished.
00:49And finally, at number 1, is the most amazing idea of them all.
00:52UAE once had the wild idea of towing icebergs from Antarctica to get fresh drinking water.
00:57But it never happened.
