US Flag in Idiocracy - 2006

 The Distopian future is a popular genre these days, but before anyone got hungry for kids killing kids and E-Walls, there was Idiocracy.  Not so serious, Idiocracy was more a satire on the state of the human condition. 

An average Joe is sent 500 years into the future to the year 2505, where less than intelligent people have overpopulated the planet; natural selection has favored those who breed the fastest, and intelligence is no longer a factor.


The flag of the United States in the 26th Century has eleven stripes, sort of.  The six red stripes are words and logos of corporations dashed with some patriotic sayings.  The canton consists of 25 yellow stars of the Carl's Jr. logo design.

90 Degrees West Longitude Flag

The 90 Degrees West flag is composed of the colours red, blue, and white.  It can be flown anywhere along the 90th Degree of Western Longitude.  Thus the nations of Canada, USA, Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador can fly this flag, as can Chile since this meridian passes though the Galapagos along the equator.

The specific US states that cross the 90th Western Line of Longitude include: Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana.  Additionally the 90th West passes directly though Memphis, Tennessee and New Orleans, Louisiana, and the boot heel of Missouri. 

90 Degrees East Longitude Flag

The 90 Degrees East flag is another geographic flag.  It can be flown anywhere along the longitude of 90 Degrees East from Central Russia, Eastern China, Bhutan, the eastern wing of India, and Bangladesh. 

The squares represent the mathematical symbols for a 90 degree angle.  It is at this angle that the advanced study of triangles "Trig" has opened a gateway to the heavens.

The flag is composed of the colours: green, red, yellow, and black.

Central Australia Heritage Flag - Flag for a Forlorn part of Australia

Form 1927 until 1931 the state of Central Australia existed for a short time on maps.  Here is a heritage flag that commemorates its small role in history.  This flag conserves the Native Australian colours of red, black and yellow, but also utilizes the Southern Cross in a new form and keeps the Aussie Blue upright and proud.

Central Australia was the proverbial Indiana Jones state, since it was created in between WWI and WWII.  It came to life during the Calvin Coolidge's term in the US and was around for the 1929 stock market crash, and disappeared during the Herbert Hoover's administration.  

Australian Capital Territory New South Wales Heritage Flag

A new heritage flag that commemorates the history of New South Wales with Australian Capital Territory.  The design is taken from the modern Aussie Capital flag and New South Wales badge.  However the black swan is coloured black. 

Northern Territory South Australia Heritage Flag

For 48 years from 1863 to 1911 Australia's Northern Territory was a part of South Australia.  In honor of this historical footnote, here is the Northern Territory South Australia Heritage flag that commemorates this fun fact.  It's design is based upon the badge for South Australia and flag for Northern Territory. Northern Territory is unique since it shares two heritage flags since if was once a part of South Australia and New South Wales.

Tasmania New South Wales Heritage Flag

For 37 years from 1788 until 1825 Tasmania was a part of Australia's New South Wales.   But Tasmania's maiden name was Van Diemen's Land.  In 1856 Tasmania reinvented herself with an Aboriginal name, switching from the Dutch sounding Van Diemen's Land to Tasmania.

Tasmania broke away from New South Wales before the genesis of New Zealand, ironically New Zealand would keep her Dutch name, but Van Diemen's Land would not. 

The flag of the Tasmania New South Wales heritage flag is based upon the designs of current flags for New South Wales and Tasmania.
