Amur Province & Magadan Provice
Flag of Magadan Province
The flags of Russia's Amur and Magadan pair up harmoniously by colour and design. Harmoniously both flags have blue waves with white crests. The waves of Amur are soft with only one white crest, while the waves of Magadan are sharper and it has two white crests. The upper-sky portion of both flags are red.
Both provinces are in East Asia, next to China and Japan. Magadan has a shoreline on the Sea of Okhotsk while Amur Province lies along the northern border of the Amur River.
Flag of Short lived Far East Republic
Magadan & Amur province were both a part of the short lived Far East Republic from 1920-1922, under president Krasnoshchyokov.The Amur River makes the Top 10 List of Longest Rivers of the World - at position number nine. Amur in Chinese literally means Black Imperial River. Amur Province is landlocked but Magadan has a shoreline but it freezes over in the winter.

The Russians arrived to this hemisphere in the 1600s, in the same era that Virginia and Massachusetts were settled. Both regions have cool summers and bitter winters. Certainly the residents of Alaska would feel comfortable in Magadan, while people from Idaho could mistake Amur for home. Maybe some day Russia will make Amur tater-tots via an Ida-Amur Company?
