Estonia and the Komi Republic

 Lands of the Midnight Sun & High Noon, Starry Night Moon. Separated by time and war, long lost sisters of the North.

From the Queen of Sheeba to the Pryamids of Giza - Egypt & Yemen

 Ancient Biblical and pre-Biblical civilization.  They are have been home to the written words of wisdom for millennia.   

 

Jamaica & Dominica - Big Brother and Little Sister

 The Big Brother gets all the attention, but they are a fraternal flag family as fated by Providence of green, black, and yellow. 

It is a union of the Greater Antilles with the Lesser Antilles.  Shaped by similar stories in history, perhaps, some day there will be a Dominican bobsled team to rival the Jamaican team.

People's drafted by fates to the Americas, many Americans of the United States can trace their heritage to these Afro-Caribbean melting pots before they were unwillingly assigned to others that included the Scots-Irish.  Thus a small echo of Scotland has left an after glow on these two tropic nations built upon dreams of fortune and glory.

 

A Brotherhood of Nations Down Under, South Africa and Vanuatu

 Separated by space, time, oceans, and blood.  Lands so distant yet have a common heart as revealed by time.  Nations so very different yet connected by certain common elements. 

 

England & Denmark, A Fraternity of Flags Forevermore

Denmark is the official holder of the modern nation state flag, consecrated in Christ the year of our Lord 1219.  The near perfect inversion of this livery has manifested an illustration of Providential concordance.  

Although, the dominant narrative of English history is tied to France it seems, going further back, there is an even deeper fundamental connection to Denmark.  Before the British colonized the world, the 'British' were colonized by Germanic Tribes, which also included Denmark. And once upon a time, Danish kings would violently contest the rule of England with the English.  

Coincidentally, and or Providentially, both nations are isles just off the coast of the main body of Europe.  Copenhagen like London, sit on cloud a part from the rest of the Europe.  Both have landed areas grounded to the main body of Europe.  Their contacts to the core of Europe flow in an opposite polarity of the colonial imprint across the world, like Yin and Yang.  Denmark has the larger landbridge to the European landmass, while English have the meekest of landlines to the proper European continent. 

 Likewise a cultural counter-change can be applied to the world.  The English had the deepest of impacts across the world in all seven seas, the Danish had the most modest of imprints across the New Worlds, mainly confined to Greenland.

The United States was a first of first, parthenogenic colonies yoked to England, but Denmark imparted the final capstone of American Expansionism via the Virgin Islands.  

Yet, both England have international holds outside of the European theater, via Greenland and a smattering of isles across the world.

From Beowulf to the legendary king, King Arthur, a spark of that enchanted memory lives on, beyond their borders.  Likewise the sonnets of Shakespeare and fairytales of Hans Christian Anderson perpetually enchant and inspire children and youth. These nations have maintained a golden thread and special place in the heart of America.

As England is the mother to the United States, ergo Denmark is America's maternal grandmother.

It is a Providential match of the delightful Danish and the perfectly toasted English muffin.    

 

Barbados & Maderia, The Gateway Between Hemispheres

 Islands along the edges of the continents, representing the Entry/Exit portals at the opposite ends of the Atlantic, like Port & Starboard.  

 

Iran & Tajikistan - Lost Aryans of West Asia

Ancient, modern, and Biblical.  They are key note players to history's stage.  A certain kind of respect is due to each.
