MrSpherical is a YouTube channel created by Peruvian animator Alvaro Calmet, who is known for other animation projects such as The Lyosacks. The channel is managed under Now Creatives. The channel is well known for making Countryball videos that examine historic and modern events from a lighthearted and comedic perspective.The project is worked on by a whole team of people, and was directed by Calmet from its inception until late 2022. It has spawned a spinoff channel known as SolarBalls, which focuses on the Planetball comics (itself spun-off of Countryballs), a second spin-off in WorkerBoi (focusing on companies), as well as a third spin-off in Human Buddy (focusing on human organs).You can see the channel here.

Mythology Gag: The third part of the Countryverse series makes some references to standard Countryball jokes; this includes Poland being drawn upside down, Singapore being a triangle, and Nepal talking entirely in rawrs.

Pretext for War: Heavily Decontructed in "Who started World War 1?"; all of the major powers of Europe wanted to hold onto to their territory, and viewed the expansion of any other country with extreme paranoia. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serb lead to Austria-Hungary peacefully investigating the incident by invading them, causing both sides alliances to quickly kick-in, resulting in millions of deaths.
