GMT or UTC +03:00 Time Zone Flag = Tiger Time Zone Flag


The flag for UTC +3 uses the colours yellow, blue, and black.  The downward bend indicates that it is an Eastern early time zone.  The Western Symbol of the Tiger is is the upper fly.  Why the tiger? Because it is the 3rd sign of the Eastern Zodiac, and this time zone is 3hrs East of GMT. 

Other provincial names for Tiger Time include: East African Time, Moscow Time, Arabia Standard Time and loquaciously lackluster Further Eastern European Time, Eastern European Summer Time.

Nations that fall under Tiger Time include: Russia's main portion in Europe, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Kenya, Somalia, Uganda, Tanzania, Madagascar, and the Comoros. 

During the spring and summer, nations that jump into Tiger Time include: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Turkey, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria. 

Iran gets its own Tiger Time Zone Flag since it is UTC +3:30.  The upward facing moon indicates an addition of 30 minutes to Tiger Time.

GMT or UTC -02:00 Time Zone Flag = Taurus Time Zone Flag


The flag for UTC -2:00 hours features the Eastern and Western symbols for Taurus and the Year of the Ox.   The Western Ox, Taurus, is black on a field of orange near the upper hoist, while the Eastern Ox is white on a field of black near the fly. 

There are two major astrologies observed Earth, one that originates from China and the other from Greece.  In this case the second sigh of both zodiacs by mere chance features a bull ox of sorts. 

Taurus Time is rare timezone between the Old World and the Americas. Two nations that are always on Taurus Time are Brazil and the UK.  Brazil's Atlantic isles of  Fernando de Noronha, Trindade and Martim Vaz follow the Taurus Clock.  For the UK, the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands are permanently synced to Taurus Time. 

However during Northern Hemisphere Day Light Saving Time, Taurus Time runs into the United States Thule Air Base, Western Greenland, and Frances last remnant of North American Colonies: Saint-Pierre and Miquelon.  Finally in the Southern Hemisphere, Taurus Time clips the south-eastern part of Brazil during the Summer: Distrito Federal, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, São Paulo.

GMT or UTC +02:00 Time Zone Flag or The Ox Time Zone Flag


UTC +02:00 Time Zone flag uses the colours orange, black and white.   Year of the Ox time zone features the astrological symbols of the Ox from both the West and the East.  By amazing fate both the second sign of the Eastern and WesternZodics uses an Ox at these positions.  The Western Ox is known as Taurus and in this incarnations is orange on black near the hoist.  The Eastern Ox known is white upon a field of orange near the fly.

Since orange is the second colour of the rainbow orange denotes that this is the second hourt befrore the zero Zulu Hour of 0:00 UTC.. 


GMT or UTC -01:00 Time Zone Flag = Aries Time Zone


Aries Time covers the island nation of Cape Verde.  The colours of the flag are red, white, and black.  The single red star indicates that it one step off of UTC Zulu Time.  Aries was chosen for this time zone since it is the first sign of the Western Zodiac and this is the first time zone of the Western Hemisphere.  Thus Cape Verde is the first nation of the Western Hemisphere and only nation to exist detached in between the continents by longitude. 

GMT or UTC +01:00 Time Zone Flag = The Rat Time Zone Flag


The flag for the UTC +1 Time Zone uses the colours white, red, and black. It features a red star in the lower white fly region to represent an addition of one hour to Greenwich Mean Time.  In the upper fly is the first symbol of the Eastern Zodiac - the Rat.  Note that Year of the Rat symbol is the Westernized symbol for the Year of the Rat.  

This time zone has many names which lends many names to this flag: GMT +1 Time Zone Flag, West Africa Time Zone Flag, Western European Summer Time Flag, British Summer Time Flag, Irish Standard Time Zone Flag, Swatch Internet Time Zone Flag, Romance Standard Time, and finally the Central European Time Zone Flag.

Nations that fall under the Rat Time Zone all year round include most of Central Atlantic Africa: Angola, Western Greater Congo, Little Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Nigeria, Chad, Niger, Benin, and Tunisia.

During the Fall and Winter much of the EU falls under Rat Time: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Bosnia, Albania, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Italy, Spain, Gibraltar, Andorra, San Marino, the Vatican, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Croatia, Montenegro, Malta, Macedonia, Czech, and of course France.  

But during the Spring and Summer, much of the UK, Portugal, and Ireland switch to the Rat Flag.  Likewise during the same time frame - yet on opposite seasons - Namibia fall under the Rat Flag at nearly the same time as the British Isles.    



Flag for GMT or UTC 0:00 Time Zone Flag


The time zone that passes though Greenwich, England is the key tuning time fork for our planet.  Nowadays it, UTC Time or Coordinated Universal Time, is the standard which artificial times zones have been aligned with.  

The flag for "Zero or ZULU" 0:00 UTC/GMT uses the colours black, white, green and yellow.  Green in the central stripe as Greenwich was the original coordinated time keeper of Earth before UTC.  Likewise the symbol for an Ox was chosen as both Eastern and Western cultures include oxen in their mythical zodiac. The Ox is the second sign of the Greek Zodiac while the Bull is the second sign of the Chinese Zodiac. 

This flag can be flown anywhere in UK, Portugal, and West Africa since these nations are all United in Time to Zero-UTC:GMT

Flag for the Largest Internal State

So which state has the largest internal area that does not have an international border or coastline?  The answer: Nevada.  Thus this flag is for 'states' that have the largest area without private access to a foreign areas. 

The central square represents that this state had no direct international connections by land or sea, as it surrounded by red striped barriers.  The triangles reinforce that this state is disconnected from the sea and a land boarder.  

But Nevada was not always the Biggest State with inside connections.  From 1861 until 1864 Kansas was the largest inside state.  From 1821 until 1861 Missouri had the biggest internal organ of America.  But the first state to become the best insider was Tennessee, after Jefferson purchased Louisiana Territory rights from the Napoleon in 1803. 

In Mexico, Durango holds the title of largest internal state without a border by land or sea. In contrast with Canada, no province or territory is completely internal. I suppose that's why most Canadians have a keen international awareness.
