5 minutes

5 minutes (Russian: 5 минут, 5 minut) is the the forty-second issue of Countryballs on Art's Animations.

Plot

 * 1) The British Empire shows the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire funny cartoons about France, where the French Revolution and the "cubly" Napoleon are ridiculed. Russia and Austria laugh, and the French Empire is trying to spy by jumping on Austria. Nowadays, Great Britain hears Canada and the United States laughing, and France is behind them. Great Britain asks what they're laughing at. Canada shows a meme on the phone that made the United States about "French weapons" - a white flag. Great Britain is proud of his son for the mockery of France, and France itself hanged himself in the background.
 * 2) Poland tells Estonia that he is slow. Estonia begins to say in its slow form: "It's not me who is slow. This time is accelerating." And time really began to accelerate. Estonia is beginning to leave. In accelerated times, Poland begins to speak quickly and indistinctly, and then leaves. Estonia is coming, and time literally flies next to it. Country grouses pass by Estonia, the days are replaced by nights, then all buildings are destroyed and decomposed. Estonia reaches the edge and watches the increased Sun absorb the Earth and destroy it. Estonia finds himself in space, where the stars are also beginning to fade quickly until it is completely dark. A couple of seconds later, the Big Bang occurs and the stars began to appear again, a new Earth was formed and Estonia begins to fall on it. There were dinosaurs on Earth, then the Ice Age. Then Estonia appeared. In a while, his history and the countries that own his territory - the Teutonic Order, Sweden, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Russian Empire, the USSR, Nazi Germany, and again the USSR - swept by. The union died and Estonia became independent. And then there were excerpts from the old issues where Estonia appeared. And everything again came to the point where Poland told the Estonian how slow he was, and he replied: "It's not me who is slow. This time is accelerating."
 * 3) A new column on the "Starch Brotherhood" begins. The screensaver of this section begins with the participation of Belarus, Latvia, Ireland and Bulbosaurus Boris. It all starts with Belarus and Latvia sitting silently at the headquarters, when Ireland suddenly appears and reports that they have an urgent challenge, Latvia is immediately preparing and, having collected weapons, the Starch Brotherhood runs to save the world together with Bulbosaurus Boris. Arriving at their destination, namely some old residential building, they knock on the door, Belarus asks what happened. Finland falls into the mud in front of the brotherhood. Belarus is perplexed. And then drunken Russia appears at the door, which says he feels bad. Finland lying in the mud claims that he is not comfortable either. Belarus wants to call an ambulance, but Russia says it's not necessary. Instead, he asks for mineral water and adds that the store where it is sold will be closed in five minutes. The Starch Brotherhood boldly runs to the store for mineral water and returns to give it to Russia. Belarus sadly moves away from home and says: "Dark times have come for the brotherhood." Everyone is sad. Then Latvia asks in bewilderment how Russia was able to summon them at all, and Ireland makes a confused face.
