This is the pre 1801 flag of Great Britain also referred to as The King's Colors flag. I figure Lincolnshire or Moosketeer can add to this info.

I highly doubt this. Stay on topic. No more griping about the Stars n' Bars, take that discussion somewhere else, please.

Not a country, but it might be someday: Quebec.

Next to The American Flag...my very first choice, I also love our state flag, that of North Carolina.
Excellent idea for a thread...refreshing.

Armenia is having some democracy "growing pains" right now.

I have lived under 2 flags in my lifetime and am quite partial to both of them...


I'm also a big fan of Nepal's flag, partly because I'm a climber and Nepal is home to the worlds tallest mountains, but mostly because they broke with tradition and have such a uniquely-shaped flag...

Tell me if this is true: I've heard that the origins of the Danish flag stems back a thousand years or so to a certain Danish king, who asked God for a sign as to whether or not to attack Poland. The next morning the king awoke to a red sky with white cloud formations resembling a cross in the direction of Poland. The king took this as God's affirmative answer to the question, promptly amassed his soldiers and invaded Poland. Truth or urban legend?
