Thx for including my rather small nation of Hungary! I'm glad someone recognised our history that was full of struggle! btw, at 2:14, the green part under the apostolic cross, isn't actually a bush, but three grass-covered hills representing the 3 big mountain ranges of historical hungary)
@@ExtraInExile sorry to bother you again, but about my last comment about the DPR and LPR, could I have phrased my comment better? I didn’t mean to bring my opinion into it.
@@ExtraInExile considering there’s a movement to establish a **Third** Spanish Republic, and that it’s generally looked back upon fondly, I’d say let’s go for it.
As a Canadian, the modern Canada flag or the maple leaf as it is known locally, is pretty interesting when it comes to meanings in the flag. We tried to avoid an universal meaning on the flag largely due our diverse nature as a former settler colony. Officially, the only meaning in our flag comes from the maple leaf itself, a common tree and symbol of Canadian pride and strength. In other words, the flag as made mostly to satisfied Québec during the 60's.
There is one more kind of tincture: furs. They represent animal furs and look like repeating patterns. You can find one, called "ermine" on the flag of the French region of Brittany/Bretagne.
I love your art style, it reminds me of polandball’s early days. Also, Sussex Kent and Essex are the oldest county flags. Most of the British county flags are actually derivatives of their respective shields, as shown with the Heptarchy. I’m pretty sure Buckinghamshire is an exception with the coat of arms being a derivative of its banner(?) but i can’t confirm that. The flag of Newfoundland (in Newfoundland and Labrador) has a pink stripe.
Very cool lore and action this episode. Geopgraphy Now is so sick of explaining that red symbolizes the blood of those who fought for the country lol. In Poland particularly, we have a legend about the origins of our national colors. It can be summed up as the founder seeing a dope white eagle against a red sunset.
Fun fact: Argentinian Flag (maybe, nobody really knows, the most accepted theory is this one) comes from the cockade/rosette from the revolutionary army, that based from a christian religious order that was from Spain, inspired from the colors of Mary (the mother of Jesus, idk how its said on english) being them the Blue from the "coat" and white for purity. Then you have the Inca sun, that comes for the great influence that they left on the north eastern region of the country. I hope it helps a lil bit to clarify, cause the thing from the sea and the sky is just a primary school lie for the children. All the best from argie lands, TacticalSoviet
One of the few purple symbols is that of Liverpool my home city. It represents Everton and Liverpool football clubs together, red and blue equals purple
Yay, I'm famous! Hi mom! For clarification, what I wrote in that comment was how Vexillologists, like NAVA, apply the Rules of Tincture to flags. They include pink as a light color.
The white flag going from purity to surrender in meaning is likely due to the purity of the intention to surrender involved, so using a white flag would imply that you have no ill intent when surrendering.
Just found out it is yi akhdarr a' (Yes, green). I’m amazed that you did this, but what does the writing on the Arab league flag mean, the text is obscured by the eyes
0:16 Does someone else realize what "penne" (without one "n") means in spanish speaking countries like mexico? And most importantly, was it intentional? (and yes, this is a very inmature comment)
SPAIN ONLY HAS PINK IN WIKIPEDIA. You will never find a Spanish flag with pink. By the way, the only flag with pink is MEXICO. And also: EL SALVADOR DOESN'T HAVE PURPLE LMAO
