That's a partial knock-off of the flag for this Pacific island nation known as Kiribati:  quote:Scotland's coat of arms has the motto "Nemo me impune lacessit", which translates to "No-one threatens us with impunity", or more loosely, "Come and have a go if yeh think yeh're fookin' hard enough". Yeah, that sounds like something Scotland would have as a motto. To get back on topic: I've been looking at flags from Pacific Island nations, a lot of which use stars to represent the many islands scattered across the Pacific or the Union Jack to represent that they were once owned by or had a connection with the United Kingdom, especially true in the case of Australia. The one for Papua New Guinea (an island nation bordering Indonesia to the east; capital is Port Moresby) has an interesting history. The flag is only 42 years old. It was designed by a fifteen-year-old girl named Susan Huhume in 1971.  Oh, and that furry-looking butterfly is actually a bird of paradise.

carry on then posted:Grew up here and the flags are about the only redeeming quality. I was thinking it was made on Word 2003 (because I actually remember doing stuff like that when I was first taught Microsoft Word in school). Penny Paper has a new favorite as of 07:05 on Dec 15, 2013 |
