Fun Calcium Flag - The Ca Republic of Calcium


California is just one of those places that is all over the Periodic Table of Elements.  Although element 20 has the same abbreviation as California—Ca—Ca does not represent California on the table.  Instead Cf is the symbol for element 98.  Nonetheless, the fun Calcium flag has the skeleton of the California Grizzly, since one the key atomic components of bone is calcium.

Finally the star has been replace with an atom with 18 elections.  Since Calcium is usually ionized to +2 oxidation state.  This makes sense.  Finally in the star position is the two letter symbol for California, oops, I mean Calcium.
