Willis Island Flag

Willis Island is one of the few inhabited islands of the Great Barrier Reef.  Note that this reef does indeed have habitable isles that people can live upon.  This Geographic flag reveals this Willis Island's Latitude and Longitude at: 149 Degrees East by 16 Degrees South.

The red, green, pink tribar colours are coded to numbers, based upon the order of the rainbow.  Red is 1, green is 4, and pink is 9; thus 149 Degrees East.  Also the central yellow pentagon indicates that this is in the Eastern Hemisphere. 

As for Latitude, the red and indigo stars read as 16 Degrees South.  Since the dominant red star is pointing downwards, we know it is a Southern Parallel.

Lo'ihi Seamount Flag

The Geographic Lo'ihi Seamount flag uses US patriotic colours of red, white, and blue with dash of black.  The colours are coded to numbers.  And the code is based upon the order a rainbow.  Red being the first colour, so it represents 1.  Blue as the fifth colour, it represents 5.  Also white represents zero, while black represents 8. 

Usually these types of flags are tribars, but since 155 Degrees West has two 5s, we have a blue field. 

In the center are two five pointed stars, which are coded to latitude.   They represent the number 18, for 18 Degrees North.  The dominant red star represents to tens column, while the background star represents the ones column.  Also the white pentagon indicates that this is the Western Hemisphere.  And finally the upward dominant star indicates that this is a Northern parallel. 

Also note this flag can be flown over the southern tip of Hawaii's King Island, since crosses this geographic panel.  

Lo'ihi is predicted to appear above the surface at earliest in the Year 9876 or at latest by Year 12,345.  By that time our species will have vanished like the dinosaurs due to cybernetic integration and genetic modifications.  But humans as we are today may be kept alive in 'zoos of the future' or traded like cattle to do menial and undesirable work.

Geographic Salt Lake City Flag

The Geographic Salt Lake City flag has a field of red.  Usually Geographic flags are composed of tribars with each bar coded to color and number.  Since red is the first color of the rainbow it represents the number 1.

Since Salt Lake City sits at 111 Degrees West.  The field is completely red!  The central white pentagon also indicates that this is a western line of longitude.  Otherwise it would be yellow to indicate an eastern line of longitude.

The two stars show us the latitude, which is 40 degrees.  Since green is the 4th colour of the rainbow, the dominant star is green.

Geographic Frankfort, Kentucky Flag

The Geographic Frankfort flag is a tribar of white, black, and green which represent the longitude.  The colours are coded to numbers, based upon the order of the rainbow.  Here white, black, and green represent the numbers 084, which is 84 Degrees West.  A Western longitude is indicated by the white pentagon in the center, otherwise if it is yellow then it is East. 

The central stars of yellow and black represent 38, which references 38 Degrees North.  Since the dominant yellow star is pointing up, it indicates the Northern Hemisphere.  Otherwise a downward dominant star would indicate the Southern Hemisphere.

Geographic Olympia, Washington State Flag

Perhaps the best place in the United States to watch the Olympics is at Olympia, Washington State - the state capitol.  There also Washington DC, but this is Washing CS.  The CS standing for Corner State, while the DC stands for District of Columbia.

The colours of Geographic flag are coded to numbers.  The order is based upon the order of a rainbow.  Red is 1, since it is the first colour; orange is 2 since it is the second colour; green is 4 since it is the fourth colour, and violet is 7; since it is the seventh colour. 

The field reads as 122 Degrees (Red-Orange-Orange), while the star reads as 47 Degrees (Green-Violet).  The central white pentagon indicates it is in the Western Hemisphere.  The dominant green star pointing upwards indicates that it is in the Northern Hemisphere.  Thus this flag reads as 122 Degrees West by 47 Degrees North, got it?

Geographic Flag for Midway Atoll

The Midway Atoll Geographic flag has its colors coded to numbers.  The order of colors to numbers are based upon the rainbow.  Red is one, since it's the first color of the rainbow.  Orange is two, since it is the second color of the rainbow.  Purple is seven, since it is the seventh color of the rainbow. 

The field of one red to two purples makes it 177 Degrees.  The central white pentagon indicates that it is in the Western Hemisphere. 

The two 5 pointed stars indicate the latitude.  In this case it represent 28 Degrees North.  The dominant orange star, pointing up indicates 20 and the northern hemisphere since it is pointing up.  The lesser black star indicates 8.  When you add 20 to 8 you get 28 Degrees, which is that latitude of Midway.

Geographic Palmya Atoll Flag

The Geographic Palmyra Atoll flag is a tribar of red, indigo, and orange.  Each color is coded to a number that is reflective of longitude and latitude.  The code is based upon the rainbow.  Since red is the first color of the rainbow, it is number 1.  Orange is the second color of the rainbow, so it is number 2.  Finally indigo is the sixth color of the rainbow, thus it is assigned as 6.

The central stars related to latitude.  The dominant star is the 10s number while the background star is 1s number of latitude.

Geographic Swians Island Flag

The Geographic Swains Island flag is a tribar of red, purple, red.  Geographic flags of this nature have their colors coded to numbers.  The order of color to number is based upon the pattern of the rainbow.  Since red is the first color of the rainbow, it represents the number 1.  Likewise purple is the seventh color of the rainbow, so it represents the number 7.   Thus 171 represents 171 Degrees West.  The "West" is indicated by the white pentagon in the center, otherwise a yellow colored pentagon would indicate the Eastern Hemisphere.

There are two 5 pointed stars in the center that correspond to latitude. In this case 11 Degrees South is discerned view the two red stars.  Also the dominant red colored downward star indicates that this is a southern parallel.

Geographic Flag for Wake Island

 

The geographic Wake has a "tri-bar" of red and indigo.  The colors are coded to numbers with the rainbow.  Since red is the first color. it represents 1and  indigo is the sixth color, it represents 6.  But...since 6 is repeated this flag has an indigo field with one star on it. 166 is a reference to 166 Degrees East.  Likewise the yellow pentagon indicates that this is the Eastern Hemisphere. 

The two 5 pointed stars in opposition relate to latitude.  In this case the colors are coded to 19, for 19 Degrees North.  Since the dominant front star is pointing upwards, this indicates a northern parallel.  Also note that pink is coded to 9.

Wake Island already has a semi-official flag that, but this flag is a scientific, objective, and vexillologically speaking...a "Good Flag."  It is a flag that is easy on the eyes and gives information: latitude and longitude.

Flag for the Senkaku or Diaoyu or Diaoyutai Islands

The geographic latitude and longitude flag for the Senkaku or Diaoyu or Diaoyutai Islands uses a tribar of red, orange, and yellow.  The three names of the islands are due to the three current claims on them by Japan, China, and Taiwan.

These colours are coded to numbers, which follow the established order of the official rainbow.  The first colour of the rainbow is red, so red is 1, then the second colour of the rainbow is orange, so orange is 2, and the third colour of the rainbow is yellow, so yellow is 3.  Thus the tribar represent the number 123, and these isles are at 123 Degrees East.  The Eastern Hemisphere is indicated by the central yellow pentagon, otherwise it would be white, which would indicate the Western Hemisphere.

The central stars represent numbers of latitude.  The dominant star is orange, coded to 2, while the lesser star is green, coded to 4 - since green is the fourth colour of the rainbow.  The dominant star also represents to 10s column of latitude, while the lesser star represents to 1s column of latitude.  Finally the dominant star is pointing upwards, indicates a northern line of latitude.

Flag for the Geographic Area Furthest from the Center of the Earth - Chimbarazo, Ecuador: 78 Degrees West by 01 Degrees South

The highest point on Earth is not Mt. Everest.  This is true when you factor in all aspects of air, sea, and land.  This measurement is based not upon sea level rising, but rather from the center of the Earth.  Bragging rights go to the nation named after the equator, Ecuador.  Or in a direct literal English translation - Equatorland.

The Belly Button of the Earth

This flag is a true scientific geographic grid flag.  The colours are coded to numbers, based upon the official order of the rainbow.  Since red is the 1st colour of the rainbow it is coded to 1.  Purple is the 7th colour of the rainbow, so it is coded to 7.  Since there are only seven colours in the official rainbow only seven numbers are coded to the rainbow.  Subsequently zero is coded to white and eight is coded to black.  Finally nine is coded pink.

Since this area is in the Southern Hemisphere, the dominant star is pointing downwards.  Likewise the central pentagon is white, which indicates the Western Hemisphere.
