ASTOUNDING THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT FLAGS

TEXAS IS THE ONLY US STATE WHERE CITIZENS

PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE STATE FLAG AS

WELL AS THE NATIONAL FLAG

ACCORDING TO THE UNITED STATES FLAG CODE,

THE US FLAG CANNOT BE USED FOR ADVERTISING

IN ANY WAY

NEPAL HAS THE ONLY NON-QUADRILATERAL FLAG

OF THE REMAINING COUNTRIES, SWITZERLAND AND

THE VATICAN CITY ARE THE ONLY NATIONS TO

HAVE SQUARE FLAGS. THE REST ARE ALL

NON-SQUARE RECTANGLES

MONACO AND INDONESIA HAVE IDENTICAL FLAGS

EXCEPT FOR THE DIMENSIONS (MONACO'S

FLAG IS NARROWER)

THE FLAGS OF ROMANIA AND CHAD DIFFER ONLY

IN THE TONE OF BLUE THAT THEY USE

FROM 1977 TO 2011 THE FLAG OF LIBYA WAS THE

ONLY PLAIN FLAG IN THE WORLD (GREEN)

BUT FROM 1815 TO 1830, THE FLAG OF

FRANCE WAS JUST PLAIN WHITE

DURING THE 1936 OLYMPICS IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT

LIECHTENSTEIN AND HAITI HAD THE SAME FLAG

(SOMEHOW NOBODY HAD NOTICED UP TO THAT POINT)

AND SO LIECHTENSTEIN ADDED A CROWN TO ITS BANNER
