The Worst Flags Proposed For Countries (That They Didn't Use) 

no! established titles is a scam! Don't shill for them!

Established Titles has proven to be a scam.

@@email5023 No way! I'm now an honest-to-God duke thanks to them, for the low low price of £9.99.

@@leisti yea that was a lie, you dont own any land, they also lied about the trees as well

Please upload a video where you will show our flag designs again

I dunno. A kiwi with a mech armed with nuclear bomb launchers might be a bit better.

It even has its own article in Wikipedia.

A flag so bad, it's so good 😆

No, it’s clearly Potato Man.

@a basketboy Silence sheep fricker, let the Kiwi take over and get rid of that ugly bri'ish wo'ah mark.

Are you sure about that?

@@DefenderoftheOctoberists Absolutely

Just as i thought

the HQ of ET is in Australia If I remember correctly

Some youtubers are now coming out about the said charity, so far both the click and pegases have now stopped and now to give away the sponsorship money.

The best flag we saw in that video

And the other one is basically the flag of Goias

I knew it looked familiar!

Yes, and the reason for the colors is to reference the “three races theory” on Brazilian history that was popular back then, that states that Brazilians were a people born from the mixing of three races and each color would represent one of them, the red for the indigenous, the black for the Africans and the white for the Europeans. Many republicans liked it because it represented the people of Brazil rather than the land or the monarchy, but it was rejected. So the republicans just adopted it for the state of São Paulo instead because that’s the state where the Republican Party of Brazil was founded and was considered the main beacon of republicanism in the country at the time. That’s why it has the map of Brazil in there instead of just the state’s. Oh, and the four stars are meant to represent the Southern Cross constellation, something that actually made it into the final national design.

@@azahel542 this is the United States of Brazil

Yeah probably. The aspect ratio on those flags aren't even normal. Too square. It's more similar to the blue square of the U.S. flag

Possible. Still awful though.

I did not come to my mind but now when I read your post It is clear that you are right. It is not one flag proposal but six proposals for the constelation of stars on the american flag.

you're right but the current american flag is good as it is

@@RafaelMunizYT the proposals were from the time when two new states were accepted into the union and the flag had to be redesigned. The country was trying to solve how to fit the new number of starts into the blue field and these were six proposals.

Because Haiti and Liechtenstein didn't know each other's flag. Unlike Indonesia and Chad, who knew Monaco and Romania's flag, respectively, but still decided to make a similar one.

Romania adopted the flag after Chad.

@@C0lon0 not really. Romanian flag dates back to the 1880's based on a flag used some 30 years before that. now when the socialist got to power they added the coat of arms, but the flag itself it's the same

But Chad used the actual flag before Romania returned to use their.

Monaco and Indonesia are competing in finding the oldest reference to their own flag from any old books they could find lol

He said he liked the idea of it, but just not the particular design. Australia is an embarrassment regarding its flag. The Union Jack? In 2023? Are you still a colony? Same with NZ. Come on, kids. Grow up.

@@alukuhito You should grow up and read some history books. Those flags have more meaning than anything they could make up. Go learn about aus and nz history.

@@froglifes6829 It's time to set aside the Union Jack. Don't glorify British colonization, Dork.

But it's a bit late to put on the flag. At this point it's a common tourism tool and that cheapens out the look of the flag. Australia is more than a country for tourists and the country has a lot more to offer.

Scotland has _established_ that such small plot of land isn't recognised, and land ownership doesn't make you a Lord. Plus the company doesn't have transparency, so the tree planting thing is likely fake too.

As a scotsman I find it hilarious seeing people panning that shite, all the ads make it out like scotland is some tolkienesque place where people don't speak english and run around in kilts fighting other clans. Those days are long gone but just shows ignorance and naivety go hand in hand. I'd pay for a yank to come to glasgow claiming they bought lordship online, would send peoples' sides into orbit from laughter.

Yeah its a scam

The thing that gets me is that, basically from the beginning I thought "oh, this is like that star thing, you don't actually own that land in any meaningful way, but it's just an excuse to do some reforestation, so that's cool." But then, from what I've heard, they don't even do that!

THANK YOU I KNEW SOMEONE IN HERE WOULD POINT THAT OUT!!!

Yes, I would have loved to see that on this list. 😁

Ceded control in favour of Guadeloupe, actually. The French actually conquered Canada back during the war. But yeah, the republican tricolour was never a Canadian or Quebecois symbol until modern times when it got incorporated into various francophone flags. The lily is a symbol of French-Canadian identity here and has almost been entirely separated from its monarchist association.

@@katherinegilks3880 *québécois identity

@@katherinegilks3880 The French never reconquered Canada during the Seven Years War (French and Indian War). The spring after Quebec fell, the French managed to defeat the British outside Quebec and put it under siege but never retook it as British reinforcements arrived. The rest of the French in Canada surrendered in 1760 and that was the end of their rule there. At the time of the 1763 peace treaty Britain held both Canada and Guadeloupe, but the French and Spanish had captured some British and allied territory elsewhere (although the British captured much more overall). In the treaty negotiations France had limited options in what they could ask back in exchange for returning British territory so they decided to negotiate for Guadaloupe because of its sugar profits, rather than Canada that actually cost them money. So essentially the French chose to trade Minorca for Guadeloupe rather than try to exchange it for Canada.

@@Game_Hero NO!!! It's NOT the québécois identity, it's the identity of ALL FRANCOPHONES THROUGOUT Canada. Don't you know that 30% or more of all Francophones don't even live in Québec.

@@danielfortier2629 You mean the Acadians and the Québécois diaspora?

That makes sense! Thank you

And for good reason, it's a great flag. No idea why it is in this video alongside someone trying to trick a swastika into the US flag. I get that it's a bit complicated, but I much rather have a cool but complicated flag than the flag of Poland (or Indonesia or Monaco, obviously).

It's ugly

Yeah, it's São Pauo state flag and I don't think it's ugly.

Why did you timestamp Canada though?

@@B3Band The original timestamp is for Brazil, but since the sponsor are removed, the Brazil timestamp ha been moved to 7:30

Came here to say this

This is correct. His plan was to keep the red and white stripes the same.

What’s usonian

@@JustANervousWreck A much better suited name for the peoples from the USA. Another proposition is Unistaters. American actually apply equally to anyone living anywhere in the Americas, including Cuba.

@@Kualinar No, call us US American(s), not usonian or whatever. It sounds terrible.

not neccesary a scam but clearly deceptive marketing.

But you plant a tree 🌳 helping the environment and you ha have something cool to show

No It's like you went to their site, and then you bought something that clearly you didn't own, and they give a paper saying blablablahh you're a lord/lady now Just research it, it's clearly a scam.

@@emib6599 They don't even have proof they plant trees, so that's very likely false as well.

@@emib6599 1) your not planting a tree and 2) they lied you dont actually own the land

u literally had flag of Somalia proposed 💀

I'd hope that an official submission for a flag didn't have such a silly graphics editing goof/software artifact, but stuff happens i guess haha.

I think it was the way to use a maximum of rectangles without interfering with each other and with the picture in the middle.

Old Libya flag is funny, because it's just green coat of paint in Microsoft paint

stfu that was one of the best flags in history

Well you can’t go wrong with a full green banner

@@Dawn.tless. green screen: *crys loudly*

Yeah, it's a pretty metal way to represent the complexity and ambition of their collectivization.

What if they grouped identical colors together?

looks like a oversimplified logo

@@dudemp4 if they connected the lines more it would look better

@@yuyoshida2076 it took some years but hopefully the scam will be done with soon.

But money.

I think the stylization has too much of an 80s vibe though. It's not evergreen.

Ha, laser "beans" makes that image even funnier

How many people are going to say that?

Every RU-vidr is promoting them, they don’t give a shit

Everyone, looking at the comment section

Shut down Trees for the future if you think they're a scam. Don't be a 🐑, think for yourselves

@@havanadaurcy1321 but you don’t actually own the land, and they don’t have proof that they plant trees

It's ridiculous. MrBallen just had a video with it, then removed and re-uploaded without because he determined it to be a scam.

I have seen that sponsorship in a lot of popular channels, can you elaborate more on that? Thank you.

@@marpintado A dude named Scott Shafer made a video where he dug deep into the validity of Established Titles, and found that they're a company run out of Hong Kong, owned by a Finnish dude who's owned previous shady businesses.

@@AwkwardTurtle_ Now that is precious, a very fruit of our times. 👍👋 Thank you for the clarification!

@@AwkwardTurtle_ wtf are they doing in my country scotland then

That would defeat the purpose of it being an aboriginal design

Holy crap

Wasnt the french flag all white at one point, but i hear russia is looking for a new flag right now, time to copy that white flag putin?

i agree its a great looking flag. the other one would also have been good if it was simplified

@a basketboy Not everyone is that excited by Australia's connection with the UK and what about when the country becomes a republic? Australia really needs to change it's flag, even if it's just not to get it constantly confused with New Zealand's flag 😅

@a basketboy the problem with the current flag is that it doesn't really represent what Australia is now. It's a flag meant to represent Australia as a part of the British Empire. Not an independent Australia. Canada changed their flag from something similar years ago. It's not about it needing to represent everyone or honour aboriginal peoples (who are one minority amongst many in a multicultural Australia), it's about a flag that actually represent an independent Aussieland.

I agree! They should definitely move away from the old colonial flag. I would choose a different one than the Kangaroo though

As an Australian I can tell you we don’t have a proud connection to the uk

my thought too. and if thats true its not that bad i like the bottom middle one

The Mexican one was just a simplied version of a several-more-squared version of itslef, which if I remember well was one of the revolutionary flags during indepencence, and that I think would look really awesome without the emblem to make it messier

That Mexican flag would be a good flag for Mexico City IMO

It is a good flag, they should probably use it as an inspiration.

Which one

same

I love that flag, text an all. To me it is beautiful.
