Geographic Flag of Diego Garcia


The Geographic Diego Garcia flag is a tribar of white, purple, and orange- which indicates a Longitude of 72 Degrees East.  The central stars of white and purple indicate a Latitude of 7 Degrees South. 

Diego Garcia is the Midway of the Indian Ocean, or rather, Midway is the Diego Garcia of the Pacific Ocean?

The colours are coded to numbers.  And the code is based upon the order of a rainbow.  Orange is 2, since it is the second colour.  Yellow is three, since it is the third colour and so on.

Geographic Flag of Darwin, Australia





Darwin, Australia has the same tribar background as Kurume, Japan.  This is because they reside on the same meridian.  Both cities are a part of the 130th East.  What this means is that the majority of these inhabitants dream, sleep, and wake in unison.  It is especially for Australia whose culture puts great weight on the dream-time.  Likewise for Japan, where dreams are considered magical and special.

Geographic Rio de Janeiro Flag





The Geographic flag for Rio de Janeiro is a tribar of white, green, and yellow.  These colours are coded to zero, green, and yellow- which in turn are coded to numbers: 043.  The number 43 refers to Rio De Janeiro's Longitude at 43 Degrees West.  Likewise the two pointed orange stars refer to the number 22, since Rio's Latitude is 22 Degrees South.

The central white pentagon denotes that this is a Western line of Longitude.  Also the dominant upside down star denotes that this is a Southern Parallel.

The order of the colour to number is based upon the order of appearance in a rainbow.  Orange is 2, because it is the second colour of the rainbow.  Yellow is 3, since it is the third colour of a rainbow.  Green is 4, because it is the fourth colour of the rainbow.  Since there are only seven official colours in a rainbow, the numbers 8, 9, and 0 are coded to black, pink, and white; unless they appear in the pentagon or form the outline of the central stars of Latitude.
