Hail Averaga!
Land of Blendy!
So the average flag looks something like this then.
If red represents blood, then it looks correct.
I salute it, vigorously.
Quite the opposite. It’s also anti-Japanese. Wait til Sailor Moon finds out!
There’s an interestingly Union Jack-looking piece up on the side there.
Tut tut; Or and Argent are not properly called colours in Heraldry, but metals!
A vexillologist they may be, an armorist they are not!
(That’s still a really neat project though.)
Anyone else getting Ænima vibes?
We must arm and strike back against those perfidious Outliers!
I wonder what it would look like scaled for each country’s population and/or size.
It’s not the size of the flag that matters. It’s the way the flag is waved.
It looks like a bad, cheap silk screen “trendy” t-shirt from a generic chain of department store.
Looks like someone pulled packing tape off a nice shiny present.
Yep… and here’s why; more than a few countries/territories which still sport the UJ in their flags.
“U and J, U and J!!”
Hey, pointless patriotism is fun if you ignore the horrific colonial history!
That’s the little bit of Empire that the Brexiters think they’re getting back…
