@@BlockedUser420 is Wikipedia the best source possible? Wales is a principality, but does it really matter if it’s on the flag? I mean, it is just a bunch of colours isn’t it?

Hey drew, great video. the last indian symbol is known as Ashok Chakra . it has 24 spokes representing the 24 hours of a day. it also has other different meanings,like 24 different principles of life.
fun fact: the flag of imperial japan was just the modern flag of japan with a different shade of red, the rising sun flag was used by the IJA and an offset version used by the IJN and modern japanese navy.
11:08 The regions of New Zealand do have flags (as do the cities) but they are not well known. The Flag of the region of Otago has a zig zag divide between its two colours of blue and yellow, as well as two 8 pointed stars. I saw it once at a museum. Quite a different sight next to the Australia like national flag and overly complicated city flag.
10:24 this is an Air New Zealand thing. the screens on the ceiling every few rows pop down for in-flight entertainment if the flight is too short for a personal TV on the seat in front of you. (e.g Wellington to Auckland) they do quizzes and things. It's cool. they also give you lollies when the plane lands this is why Air New Zealand is objectively the best airline.
Drew, to answer your question about the long Israel flag, many buildings in Israel have long flags that are hung from the roof to the ground which are very popular, and this school appears to have bought one (my school had a bunch but were hung traditionally) and flipped it to use on the fence
The Cape Verde flag has no official ratio, although the rules for the circle of stars essentially means it can't be bigger than 4:3, so in theory it could be 1:99999999. Also, the flag or Arizona doesn't have an official colour for the star, I like to imagine it as pink
@@anikeshmidya4882 No Bhimta, most of the Buddhist symbols are borrowed from Hinduism. The symbol already existed in Sun temple before Ashoka event built the pillar.
Fun fact: Both in the Ireland and the India flag, the 2 colors symbolize the 2 biggest religions in the country and the white symbolizes the peace between them.
11:50 The sun will kind of go supernova, but it's actually just going to be a planetary nebula which essentially means that a majority of the "star soup" will just kind of leave. The remaining will make a dwarf star. As a geography channel, I don't blame you for not knowing this
8:45 People that live in Switzerland are mostly Swiss 😂 but 1/3 of people speak Italian, 1/3 speak French and 1/3 speak german (a little more) because of their borders with Germany, Liechtenstein, Austria & France).
9:21 This is actually a flag for a Festival here in Florida called Shrimp-Fest,super obscure but its always funny to see everybody else be super confused by our annual shrimp-patriotism
14:03 That is not specifically hindu symbol but it represents progress (24 spokes represent 24 hour progress) The name of the symbol is "Ashok Chakra". A Hindu later turned Buddhist king who United the Subcontinent.
It is actually a Dharma chakra which has been used by Hindus since long. Buddhists also have Variation of it with usually 8 spokes representing 8 fold path.
Go any ancient surya temple. You will find Dharma chakra on walls and pillars. This symbol isn't specifically of only Hindus or only Buddhists. This belongs to both without any copyright.
9:28 I like Shrimp. It's the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, satay it. There are shrimp kebap, creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There is pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp. Shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich ... That's ... that's about it.
7:12 Here in Brazil every municipality by law has to have their own coat of arms. And by law they also have to have a flag with the coat in the middle. Some looks awesome like Brasilia or Sao Paulo and others looks awful
Wales (not Whales) aside, one of the reasons that there are so many coats of arms/local flags, is that until relatively recently, there were lots of City States. Each had their own ruler and alliances...which tended to change a lot. So what you see, for historical reasons, is often the flag/coat of arms of the old city state before it amalgamated with other small staes to be come part of a country.
14:15 drew that is the the Ashoka's Chakra Ps drew you do realise that swastika is hindu' scared symbol aling with the state's favourite god symbol PPS i removed the cancellation part

2:51 That's the Azores Summit where Bush used a ultimatum and declared war on Iraq. A dark moment for all involved and Azoreans the first population to protest against the war. If that wasn't enough Lajes field (Summit location) was the way Guantanamo prisoners went by/scale to Cuba...
My understanding is that the Japanese “sunburst” flag is in fact the naval ensign, while the rising sun is and has always been the flag of Japan. The naval ensign of the UK 🇬🇧 is the Union Jack 🇬🇧 and it features as the upper left corner of some countries (Eg, Australia 🇦🇺 , New Zealand 🇳🇿 etc), while for The United States 🇺🇸 the ensign is the navy blue square 🟦 with white stars ⭐️. Anyway, naval ensign versus 🆚 national flag. It may be a thing.
14:03 The dharmachakra (Sanskrit: धर्मचक्र; Pali: dhammacakka) or wheel of dharma is a widespread symbol used in South Asian religions such as Hinduism, Jainism, and especially Buddhism. Also known as Ashok Chakra , used by Emperor Ashoka

Funny thing is my school had a shrimp cult going on for a year and they used a custom shrimp flag for their ‘’Shrimpire’’ during the snow fort wars at recess
10:40, well, if you look in the top right of the TV holder there is the New Zealand Airlines symbol so of course the questions would be pretty hard, and no, I can't answer the question no-one can.
2:54 Thats the “Açores Picture”Where portugal was host nation (the Summit was in the Açores) and Spain ( Jose Maria Aznar) alongside the UK (Tony Blair) signed with the Usa (Bush Jr) under the Portuguese host ( Duráo Barroso) to send troops to invade Irak and overthrown Saddam as he was supposedly hiding mass destrucction weapons ….

It is more of an Ancient Indic symbol, rather than just being Hindu. Because Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism stem from the same core philosophy.
