New categories for flags - Aquageotic and Geopolitic Classes

Their are many ways to categorize flags - tri-bar, canton, pan-African, etc. But here are two new classification groups "Aquageotic" and "Geopolitic." First a definition for Aquageotic. These are flags that have maps of islands or partial maps that are determined by water via the coastline or other various watershed. Examples include two popular flags of Antarctica and Sulawesi independence movement. The flag of Cyprus is also - Aquageotic.

Flag of Sulawesi
"Aquageotic type flag"

The island of Sulawesi is shown on a white disc. The shape or icon is based upon the coastline. Sulawesi is a part of Indonesia. This flag has been used by various separatist groups.




Flag of Antarctica Treaty, again the shape of the central icon is based upon the coastline (water-to-earth).







The second group is similar to Aquageotic, in that it also has a map but the borders are not related to any kind of water division. These types of flags are more popular at lower levels of government - usually denoting the shape of a county, township or city.

The chief is gules with word 'HUNGER' writtein in all capital letters, with a conjoined 'E' and 'R.' The main filed consists of the world 'FORCE' in or with a conjoined 'F' and 'O.' Also the last letter 'E' has an extra extension that fills the gap in the letter 'C.' The letters are all highlighted in black for definition with white a glze for added depth. The shield is also bordered with a yellow highlight that conforms the shape of the letters leaving an indent with both the red and yellow 'R.' Finally in stylized blue graffiti a the crest-chief overlap it is written 'AQUATEEN.'

Thurston Island Flag

Thurston Island was discovered by the USA in February 1940 by Admiral Bryd.

Although the Continent of Antarctica can wait, perhaps its time that islands around the ice continent get fairly divided up. Colonization in Antarctica will provide essential data and experience for colonization in outer space.

Flag of Roosevelt Island - Antarctica

Flag of Roosevelt Island
Antarctica

Roosevelt Island, Antarctica is positioned along the 'Pacific Groove' ice shelf. Some geographers don't include the Southern Ocean as a true ocean, nonetheless three main grooves cut into Antarctica with the three main ice shelves coincidentally aligned to each ocean.

The ice shelves align by size to the size of their ocean of alignment.

The largest ice shelf - THE ROSS ICE SHELF - fatefully faces the largest ocean, the Pacific. The second largest ice shelf - THE RONNE ICE SHELF - by a lucky alignment faces the second biggest ocean - the Atlantic. And finally the third largest ice shelf - THE AMERY ICE SHELF - by providence faces the third largest ocean - the Indian. Too bad the third ice shelf doesn't start with the letter 'R.' Perhaps they could give it a nick name, the Richie ice shelf, but on second thought AMERY does have an 'R' sound.


At first glance the flag of Roosevelt Island may look like a Confederate Flag, but it isn't. The design was inspired by all previous designs for the other big islands in Antarctica. Like the Alexander Island Flag, Ross Island Flag, and Berkner Island Flag they all pay homage to the heritage of its founder, accordingly the discoverer of Roosevelt island who also christened it with its namesake was from Northern Virginia - Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd. Bryd is descended from a powerful Virginian family line that included James Rolfe and Pocahontas. Because Richard E. Byrd was born in Northern Virginia, the colours of Roosevelt Island are modeled after historical flags that had arisen from Virginia.

Roosevelt Island, Antarctica inner island was discovered sometime in the 1930s. It was named after the second Roosevelt president - Franklin. The colours of the flag are black, white, orange, and blue. The saltire is black with thirteen stars that represent 13 southern most constellations. The colour orange is based upon the famous Antarctica Flag designed by Whitney Smith. The white field represents the snow and ice, while the blue represents the colour of the seas should match blue Antarctica Flag of the Gram Bartram design.
