Six states in the Union have a Virginia Tilt. A Virginia Tilt means that they follows in a sense the climatic and geographic positions of ye' Virginia.
Virginia is geographically aligned in between the two great continents. Virginia's northern counties are parallel to Europe only while her southern parts are parallel to North Africa.
Seven states, including Virginia, can legally claim to enjoy both 'hot African summer nights' and know 'a chilly winter's day as it is in Europe.' The design of the flag is based upon design of Jamaica and final design of the Confederacy with adjusted colours and style of the modern state flags.
The Kentucky-Virginia Tilt Flag
Kentucky is a near match in climate to Virginia. The southern counties are on par with North Africa, while her northern counties match to Spain.
The Illinois-Virginia Tilt Flag
Believe it or not the southern part of Illinois is much like the South. Some cities in Illinois are even more southern than Richmond, Virginia. No doubt General Washington would've found the southern tip of Illinois to be mosts like home.
Illinois also has the most northern reach of states with a Virginia Tilt. Also, the northern part of Illinois is on par with Canada. Illinois is of the proverbial middle states to know both the climate of Canada and the Confederacy.
The Kansas-Virginia Tilt Flag
Yep, the southern counties of Kansas are on par with Algeria. It's no wonder the original immigrants thought it was a desert. But thanks to rain water and productive use of water Kansas is an American bread basket.
The Colorado-Virginia Tilt Flag
Just as the Atlas Mountains of Morocco pierce into the sky so do the Rockies of Colorado.
The Utah-Virginia Tilt Flag
Utah is the last state to have that semi-unique way of knowing with African and European climate, at least at high altitudes.

Flag of the Pacific Princess - The Love Boat
In honor of Valentines Day 2013, here is an appropriate flag - the flag of the Pacific Princess.
This is a one a once in a lifetime television series that magnificently harmonized up comedy, drama, romance, and action all into one. Offering up insights, ups and downs on the human heart. It was the proverbial 'Sea Trek' of the human heart.
Hangs ups on love, life were a main stay on the Love Boat. A classic series that rode the wave of drama in waves of absurd sitcom humor balanced with serious heartfelt footnotes.
Much of the charm rested in a diverse crew balanced with a healthy infusion of new stars minor and major.
Flag of the Pacific Princess featured the stylized outline of woman's head blowing in the breeze. The colours of the flag were white, green and blue. The background was white and the head was blue as was most of the hair. Small dashed of green accentuated the hair.
The Love Boat was flagged under a red British Ensign.

US Flag with Powdered Toast Man
Powdered Toast Man becomes the US President during one of Ren & Stimpy's episodes. The US flag can be seen behind his desk in the oval office. Additionally the coat of arms for this fictional cartoon land America features an unusual seal.
Powdered Toast Man leaves shiny 1960s shimmering vapor trail that smells of fresh toast. Note that powdered toast is filled with vitamin F, that gives it that something extra.
Here the powdered Toast Man sits at the desk to ensure the rights of the people are overlooked.
