What does your flag mean/stand for?

[Bereta_Eder]

In a disgusting/nationalistic/vomit-inducing question, what does your flag mean?


The Greek one is really simple.

The white cross symbolizes the church/religion of da nation.

The colors, white and light blue, symbolize the sky and the sea, which are, as attested for, beautiful in this part of the world


and the lines, for each line there is a letter, and they make up the slogan during the revolution:

freedom or death. (Eleftheria i Thanatos)


cool huh?


your turn.

It fell from the sky during a battle in Estonia at the 15. of June 1219.

That's what the legend says, at least.

My flag is an 'rJ' to represent my Glorious name.

[Thrawn05]

My flag means we're going to kick your *** Greece!


Actualy, the keys means the keys to the gates of heaven. I used to remember the rest.

I do know the Irish flag (which was my first choice but opted out), that you shouldn't mix the orange with the green.

I'm upset that the UN won't reconize my country of Carrium, which controls all of Antartica. The fact that they don't show it on their flag is an insult.

No, it doesn't. According to the legend, the Danes were losing a battle against the Estonians, when suddenly that flag fell from the sky, and a voice proclaimed that the Danes would win the battle. They did, and the flag has been the Danish national flag since then.

The legend is known to be untrue, in that the flag didn't originate from that battle, but no one really knows why it came to look like it did, or if it means anything.

It is a curious fact, by the way, that the name of Tallin, capital of Estonia, means "the Danish town", or something along those lines, and that the town's symbol is red with a white cross.

[Inverse Icarus]

you all know the US flag so there goes at least 50% of the forums

[Bereta_Eder]

I dont


does it mean anything?

[Edan]

50 stars = 50 states (so it changes with each new state)
13 stripes = 13 original states.

[Bereta_Eder]

all i know is that you copied it from us


seriously what do the little stars stand for (I think the original states)

and what the lines stand for (if anything)


gracias
