Since Lutetium is the Maiden Name of Paris, we have the fun Paris-Lutetia Flag for Element 71. "Why they didn't just call it Paris-ium?"... is a mystery. Lutetium gets its namesake from Paris's old Roman name - Lutetia.

But for our dandy flag, instead of a yellow fleur-de-lis we have yellow atoms. Likewise the medals have been replaced with the Three Primes of Alchemy according to Paracelsus. On the left blue side is a symbol for sulfur, which represents the soul. On the right red side is the symbol of mercury, which represents the spirit. And in the middle is the symbol for salt, which represents the basis of matter and the body.
Definitely weird stuff here. Funny thing is element 71, Parisinonite, baffles scientists. Some want to classify it on the f block, some on d block. It's always good to see an element that just won't be logically labeled. As this Universe is composed of illogical elements, which in of itself is so very logical.
