Bounty Islands Flag for New Zealand

Flag of the Bounty Islands


Not to be confused with Bounty Island, the Bounty Islands belong to New Zealand and consist of 13 main islets in the South Pacific.

Thus accordingly this flag has 13 stripes. There are three large red stripes, four large blue stripes and six thin white stripes. The white stripes are actually fimbrations around the red stripes. This is done in conjunction with the Red New Zealand stars that have a white fimbriation.


The 13 islands are
(1) Depot Island
(2) Lion Island
(3) Penguin Island
(4) Proclamation Island
(5) Ranfurly Island
(6) Ruatara Island
(7) Spider Island
(8) Tunnel Island
(9) Castle Island
(10) Funnel Island
(11) Prion Island
(12) Molly Cap
(13) North Rock

These islands are also antipodes to Europe, at Boulle-Mernard France. Another coincidence is that these islands were discovered the same year the United States become a legal nation under the Constitution in 1788. Thus the flag of the Bounty Island flag bears some resemblance to their up and over cousins to the north. The US Government is the same age as these thirteen magically shaped isles.

Berkner Island Flag - Antarctica

Flag of Berkner Island, Antarctica

Berkner Island was one of the few places that was truly discovered in modern times, and by an American team at that.

Ice completely surrounds this island. Berkner island came to our awareness in 1957 under the leadership of Finn Ronne, who ironically was not a Finn.

However he was born in Scandinavia. Ethnically a Norwegian but yet, an all American Citizen, who made his home in Maryland. In 1957, the US Navy was his source of income.



This flag is based upon the American Flag - since America truly discovered this Hoth like world down under.

The canton actually depicts a constellation - Octans the eight pointed star compass. Octans is at the bottom of our celestial sphere. The eight pointed star refers to the 'Southern Star' - Sigma Octantis.

Also the stripes are reversed to having white as the dominant color. Instead there are seven white stripes and six red stripes.

Alexander Island Flag - Antarctica

Alexander Island Flag - Antarctica

The flag of Alexander Island is based upon the flag of the Russian Navy because it was discovered by a Russian Citizen - Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen in 1821. However Bellingshausen was born in what is now modern day Estonia, thus the colour black is added on the left and right sides.

Bouvet Island Flag

Bouvet Island Flag

Located in between Africa and Antarctica. This tiny island covered in snow belongs to Norway. It is a modified Norwegian Flag. The blue cross is decorated with four stars reflective of the Southern Cross Constellation and two red sections have been coloured black.

The South African Prince Edwards Island

Prince Edward Island of South Africa

Located in between Africa and Antarctica. The colours of the flag are green, brown, yellow, orange, white and blue. The design is exactly the same as the National Flag of South Africa. Brown was incorporated since it a colour on the new national coat of arms.

Coral Sea Islands Flag

Coral Sea Islands Flag, Australia

This flag is based on the Australian Flag. Instead of blue it has a hot pink field. Also the stars have been replaced with two types of starfish. But note the starfish are universal-substitutive, so any kind of starfish can be used. The seven pointed stars of the Southern Cross are skinny five armed starfish of various colours - red, yellow, indigo, light green. Also the smaller five pointed star is replaced with a stout purple star fish. Likewise the large Commonwealth Star has been replaced with a light pink sand dollar. The only element that has remained the same is the English Red Cross, since this is the dominant and national language of Australia. Finally rainbow triangles have replaced the cut up Scottish Flag and broken St. Patrick's red cross.



Starting from one o'clock the colours are yellow, orange, maroon, brown, violet, indigo, blue, and green. The bright colours are reflective of a rainbow and the multitude of colours found at coral reefs. Additionally it is based on the liberal peace and love flags of the mainland. It is also a reminder of various transgendered species that inhabit a coral reef, reminding us that in the natural world gender is not always certain.

Ashmore and Cartier flag

The colours are based on the popular aboriginal flag, black, red and yellow.

Auckland Islands Flag

Flag of Auckland Island

Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand, while Auckland Island is a remote island south of the main islands. Thus the flag is essentially a reversed image of the New Zealand Flag.

The UK flag in off center near the bottom for two reasons. First because Auckland Island is south of Auckland City. And second because New Zealand is in the South Pacific.

New Zealand already is down under, but there are two Aucklands in New Zealand - Auckland City on North Island, and Auckland Island which is south of South Island.

Flag of Macquarie Island

The canton is based on the Scottish Version of the UK Union Flag in honor of the islands namesake, Lachlan Macquarie, who was born in Scotland. The field is synonymous with the flag of Australia, its national body.

There is never a clear shot of Shermer High School Pennant, but during the opening credits the bottom half can be seen.

Did you ever notice all the trophies that a school collects?


Illinois Flag Left, US Flag Right

The school is set in a wealthy suburban school district in Illinois.

Antipodes Islands Flag

Antipodes Island Flag

The Antipodes Islands are nearly so at the complete opposite of the United Kingdom from down under New Zealand to up over England.

Basically its two British Ensigns - one in the upper hoist and the other in the lower fly. The upper right half is black which represents night, while the lower left half is blue which represent day. Thus when persons enjoy a warm winter midnight snack in London, England there are others who simultaneously are enjoying a summer afternoon picnic in a lovely meadow on the other side of the world.


The star on blue represents the sun our closest star, while the star on black represents Alpha Centaur the closest star to the sun.

Chatham Islands Flag

Kermadec Islands Flag

Flag of New Zealand's 'Earth Quake Islands'
Kermadec Islands Flag

These group of islands in the South Pacific are administered by New Zealand. They are named after Captain Jean Michael Houn Kermadec who visited the area at the end of the 18th century. This flag is thus a merge of designs of the French and New Zealand Flags - current and future. Future because whenever New Zealand chooses a new national flag the southern cross will be used and the star design will be red outlined with white.


The saw tooth design shows that this part of New Zealand lies along one of the most active boundaries of the Pacific Rim and is witness to many earthquakes every year.

They also represent the five main islands.
(1) Raoul Island - the largest
(2) Macauley Island - 2nd largest
(3) Curtis Island - 3rd largest
(4) Nugent Island - northern most
(5) Cheeseman Island

Heard and McDonald Islands Flag

Flag of Heard and McDonald Islands

At nearly the midpoint between Antarctica, Australia and Africa are the Heard and McDonald Islands. The islands were named after two different US American Captains. First Captain John Heard charted the islands on November 25, 1853. The next month and year later a UK ship under the command of William McDonald charted the new 'McDonald' Islands. But the first person to set foot on any of these islands was Captain Erasmus Darwin Rogers in 1855.

The flag of Heard and McDonalds islands is based on the current national flag of Australia. However the stars have been replaced by snowflakes and the UK Canton has been altered. Both the English Red Cross and eight Scottish triangles are white. Likewise the interstitial white is blue like the rest of the flag. Only the cross of St. Patrick remains in its original format. Another interesting fact is that it is home to Australia's tallest mountain - Mawson Peak. However since Mawson Peak is closer to Antarctica it only holds the tallest tallest of tall via a political rubric. Mount Kosciuszko is still the tallest mountain on the continent.

Flags from Titanic film from 1997 by James Cameroon

Flag on the Titanic
British Blue Ensign

The HMS Titanic was a part of the the White Star Line and nationally flagged under the United Kingdom, 100 years ago. It flew the British Blue Ensign at is stern as it was accurately depicted in the film.

The most recent and grand retelling of this tragic story was told by James Cameroon in 1997. Its ground breaking special effects, top notch directing and stellar acting led it eleven academy awards.

Flag pole where Jack and Rose met

1912 was a tragic bitter sweet year for the world and technology. Once again in 2012 we stand at a great precipice of change, technology, and society. No matter what, there will always be Jacks and Roses who choose to stare down the unknown and fear, in order to follow the dreams of their heart, as did the director of the film.

District 9 - the flag of the Multi-Nation

Multi-National United Flags

District 9 (2009) was an science fiction movie that crosses the line on contemporary society. What if aliens landed twenty years ago and were not what we expected?

The story goes like this, a mother ship 'crash' lands on earth in South Africa, Johannesburg. The population of aliens are apparently from the lowers classes or casts of society, who were never taught the proper know how of running the ship. Subsequently they quickly wear off as novelty and wear out their welcome. Unable to adapt to modern earth society they become a burden on society.



Subsequently the cold blooded heart of a new kind of inter-species racism rears its ugly head.

Edward Scissor Hands - Bland High Livery

The school district of Edward Scissor Hands 1990 is known as Bland High. It is an economically fit well groomed school district.

The school pennant of Bland High makes an appearance in the movie when Edward is in the room while his adoptive foster mom tries to put the shirt on him. The livery colours of Bland High are blue and yellow.

Their daughter - Kim Boggs- is a cheerleader for Bland High. On a photo we see her holding up the colours of the school on the most basic and essential of sports vexilloids - the pom pom.

Afro-European American Geocentric State Flags

There 17 US states that share a latitude with both Europe and Africa. They are North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona. The second group includes Virgina, Kentucky, Kansas, West Virginia, Colorado, Utah and Illinois. And finally for the last group there is Missouri, California, and Nevada.


Furthermore these geographically Europe and African aligned states can be broken down into three categories.

There are seven states that have a southern tilt. Geographically they have soil that is totally south of the European Continent and a small portion crosses into the Continental Afro-European Belt. The Afro-European Belt is a small region where Africa and Europe are at the same latitude. It is approximately 36 degrees North to 37 degrees 21' North.

The Southern Tilted Geographically Afro-European States include
the upper south

(1) North Carolina
(2) Tennessee
(3) Arkansas
(4) Texas
(5) Oklahoma
(6) New Mexico
(7) Arizona

The next group of is the geographic compliment to the Southern tilted states. Thier northern reigions are parallel to Europe while their southern halves cross into the Afro-European Belt.

The Northern Tilted Geographically Afro-European States include
the light south

(1) Virgina
(2) Kentucky
(3) Kansas
(4) West Virgina
(5) Colorado
(6) Utah
(7) Illinois



Finally there are three states that have territory that extend beyond both ends of the Afro-European Belt into wholly pure European and African latitudes.

North & South states include
(1) Missouri
(2) California
(3) Nevada.

The other 26 northern states are totally Euro-centric with respect to their latitude.

All African American Geocentric State Flag

African American Geocentric Flag
US States that are parallel to Africa

There are seven US states that are completly at the same latitude of Africa - South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, and Hawaii. These are the states of the Deep South.

African American Flag - made by an American

This flag was made by Davis Hammons originally born in Springfield, Illinois 1943. The neat coincidence about Illinois is that it has a partial Afro-Centric geographic orientation. There are 24 US states that have some or all land on par latitude with Africa. Seven are totally below the continent of Europe and seventeen are on par both continents - not including islands of either continent but the mainland only. Hammons later settled in New York and created an African USA American Pride flag.

Unlike the horizontal tri-bar Marcus Gravy black, green, and red flag - Hammons' flag was created by a home grown American. Marcus Gravy was born in Jamaica. Although the famous Pan-Nationalist African flag was created in New York City. That flag is for persons of African Heritage all over the world.

However Hammons' flag is for persons of African heritage who are United States Citizens.

American Dad - altered mini US Flag Pin

Dad from American Dad
his lapel pin is supposed to be the American Flag

American Dad is an adult cartoon parody on Conservative Patriotic American Families.

The lapel pin of Dad is supposed to be the American Flag but due to the complexity of 13 stripes the artists draw it differently. Usually it only has three stripes and varies in pattern between white-red-white or red-white-red. In either version the canton is simply a blue rectangle minus the stars.

If the artists would have settled on four or more it would have looked more like an American Flag.

American Dad
created by Seth MacFarlane


The other version of the Dad's lapel pin that looks more like the original Confederate Flag.

Close Encounters of the Thrid Kind - 1977, the Mayflower Flag

Reconstructed Mayflower Flag
The Secret International Agency on Alien Affairs

1977 was a cosmic year with the release of Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. In the latter a fictional flag appears that represents the government agency responsible for the study, coordination, and cover up of extra terrestrial alien civilization.

The flag consists of a white background with the agencies logo centered in the middle. The logo consists of a black isoceles triangle with the words 'MAYFLOWER' written along the bottom and a radiant light blue star near the apex.

The International Alien Agency Flag
in between the US and French Flags

Apparently in this movie the French and US government are working together under the 'black triangle' flag to study and welcome extra terrestrial life to earth. The triangle is already an important symbol in the US as the 'Eye of Providence,' which can be found on the back of a US dollar bill.

Notice the 'triangle' agency alien flag is centered, while three alien aircraft hover overhead. In the upper left are blue lights, the upper right are red lights, and a small ship or probe is over the runway.

Eurocorp - a fictional icon for the G 57 network

In 2069 the net will be beyond Generation 57, if they are still using that archaic term.

The logo of Eurocorp in the Syndicate Universe consists of three pentagonal shaped arrows - two white and one orange. 2069 will be a strange world. People will be able to tap the brain waves players and coaches during the game and not just observe but feel.

Credit Card Flag from School House Rock

The US flag is portrayed as a credit card. But it only has 11 stripes - six red and five white. Instead of a field of stars on the canton it is written 'Credit Card'.

















Viewing government debt as a monster or dinosaur does not help. But remember we the people created that debt or monster. Rather look at it as a crying baby that needs a lot of tender love and care. Our debt baby kept us free from communism and helped Grammi and Grampi live longer.

Focus on fixing instead of fighting. In the 1960s Americans looked at the travel to the moon as an inspirational challenge instead of it being 'Nerd Dragon' that will eat millions of US tax payer dollars. America was happy to feed the 'moon monster'. Or rather take care of our Moon Baby.

Futurama Olympic Flag of the 31st Century

The Olympic Games are apparently still held in the 31st century. Naturally robots about make the best judges.

The Olympic flag of the 31st century features two extra rings and different colours.

French's Flag - the Classic Yellow Mustard

Contrary to what the name suggests, French's mustard is not made in France. Rather it is made in the USA in New York State.

The important part of this logo is that it utilized a flag as its center piece. On a red field is the name written in white - 'French's.' Underneath the ch's is the registration date 'Since 1904.'

They claim to be 'America's Favorite'

It uses the colours blue, green and red.

Nation of Joe Flag - Futurama

From Future Rama, this flag consists of Joe's face on a red field. This flag is universa- substitutive. Thus any person with Joe in their name can use this flag.

USA Peace Flag and USA Corporate Flag

There are two popular protest flags that have removed the 'constellation' of stars and replaced them with symbols. This is a common phenomena for artists and political activists. The US Corporate flag usually features 30 trademarked logos of official companies, while the US pace flag simply has a white peace symbol.

The Peace Flag from Contact 1997 - in the wake of Carl Sagan

The Earth Peace Flag
Contact 1997


There are all sorts of flags that appear in Contact 1997 when the public becomes aware of an extraterrestrial intelligence.

Something of a wild circus-super bowl-phish concert forms as people swarm to the locale of where the signal was first detected in Socorro County, New Mexico.

The Contact Peace Flag uses several colours - white, black, red, yellow, blue, and green. Centered on a white background was the planet earth. In the crest position it is written "Earth Flag." Across the middle it is word 'peace' in all power case letters. Each letter is a different colour with its own background panel. In the compartment position are other words written in black that are unintelligible.

This film professionally presents a sequence of events showing the cascade of events Earth would go through if it were to make hard scientific contact with a civilization outside of our solar system. At the moment there is no hard scientific evidence, but it'd certainly be a waste of space if it's just us.

And if other extraterrestrial life were to exist in a similar form and at a similar stage of development with semi-harmonious nations states, I believe that the various vexilloids of their planet would align like my fraternal flag twin idea.

Is there anyone in these universe that gets me?

Delaware and Kentucky - Fraternal Twins

This one is for Mr Biden, Joseph

Your home state of Delaware is fraternally bonded to the state of Kentucky. They are the middle state at the cultural divide between the North and the South. Kentucky has a southern tilt while Delaware has a Northern tilt. Both states were firsts and leaders in their own special way. Delaware that the first state to believe in the American Constitution. While Kentucky was second of the second thirteen. In the middle phase our nation evolution Kentucky was chosen to lead both the North and the South via Lincoln and Davis.

The men of Delaware are dressed in complementary attire. The man on the right is a county gentleman dressed in an exquisite green suit. The man on the left is dressed in the simple plain attire of a country farmer. The flag of Kentucky also shows two men looking face to face in complementary attire. The gentleman on the right is wearing a business suit, while the man on the left is dressed as a rugged frontiersman.

The Blue Blood State of America
Delaware and Kentucky


Blue is a common motif adopted by both states - whether Bluegrass or Blue Hens. Both states are virtual Blue Blooded states like Delawares famous blue blood horseshoe crabs. They are union of the beginning upon the Atlantic Shores unto the heartland towards the mighty Mississippi.
