I am legit curious if there exists lost media from such low populated areas like Greenland, San Marino or Andorra that we don't know of because they're so undocumented online because, I mean, they're from low populated areas.
There should be or if there is, I'm not surprised. Some YouTube channel that has a radio broadcast recording from Antarctica in the 80s managed to salvage a snippet of a shortwave recording from Greenland in the 70s. It's probably not the same as other media like film and television, but I'll take what I can. It's the stuff from small or unsuspecting places that usually makes my day when they get recovered.

maybe even from St Martin or Bermuda or Bahama. I bet there is lost media from every country.
There should be to some extent, even just from a historical and anthropological perspective. There's so much out there. I know we have an old thread somewhere with users from Africa looking to document works from various filmmakers whose filmographies are incomplete. I hope their searches get more traction if things have become stagnant.

There's also a Hebrew adaption of Barney & Friends called Hachaverim Shel Barney and a Korean adaption of the said TV show called Baniwa Chingudeul, which are both partially found.

Since I was talking about it on Reddit, I'm reminded of the other early cinema stuff and even more modern stuff that's more indie oriented.
The Monster of Frankenstein and The Mechanical Man are still lost (partially for Mechanical Man) and will likely not be recovered unless we get lucky. Japan's earliest contributions to cinema and horror are also completely lost. Africa appears to be a cultural hub for a lot of stuff that's just poorly documented or archived. I'm reminded of the original version of Who Killed Captain Alex still being lost if I remember correctly, unless the director found a copy again. Thailand's first documented horror film from the 1930s only exists now as a small fragment. Then you have entire filmographies that are mostly incomplete or lost, like Georges Mèliés. But that's just talking about film and not things like literature, music, and art. Ancient Rome and Greece has that cinched with works from artists that are completely lost.
For something raunchy, the history of early adult entertainment goes all the way back to the 1890s and I think the oldest one from the UK exists as a fragment, unless the version that's easily accessible is complete. Carbon would have a field day with this topic if she was still actively posting.

Oh yeah, a lot of that material is sadly not too talked about as they can be quite interesting. I am bound to wonder on what some lost films from the likes of East Timor, Greenland, Faroe Islands or San Marino would've been like. What the heck were they making?
(On a side note, I think what I said on this thread about lost political stuff probably led her to leaving for a bit).
Dreams are boundless, imaginations are infinite, space is a multi-directional spiral & Akazukin ChaCha is my favorite anime

Agreed. My first thought goes to music and places like the Metal Archives. They more or less have a band for every country or part of the world you can think of and it makes me wonder if there's certain things that are just unaccounted for now or unreleased work from artists that have passed away or acts that have split up.
There is the Maya codices in what is today's Mexico and Guatemala, as many of them were destroyed by order of the Spanish conquistadors because they thought that the ancient texts were the work of the devil. It's unknown how many they were before they were deliberately destroyed. Those codices that were destroyed will be lost ancient literature forever.
Today, only four of them survive in the present, with one of them at the Saxon State Library in Dresden, Germany, the second one at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris, France, the third one at the Museo de America in Madrid, Spain, and the fourth one at the National Institute of Anthropology and History in Mexico City, Mexico.
Despite the frustrations of normal day life we go through, the best thing to do about it is still being happy for our friends and family.

I was looking through EifelDX's channel & apparently he recorded a bit of KNR, which is Greenland's main TV channel! Cool, ain't it?
