Deep Sea International Waters Flag - beyond the 200 Nautical Exclusive Economic Zone Region

Beyond the 200 Nautical Miles of the Exclusive Economic Zone is the region of Earth were nations have no legal claim.  It is an international region of the high seas.  This flag represents that area of the oceans where the water and airspace are Wild and Free of national claims. 

The Deep Blue International Waters flag is composed of four vertical bars: deep navy blue, white, blue, and indigo. 

12 Nautical Mile Contigious Zone Flag

The 12 Nautical Mile Contiguous Zone flag is composed of the colours orange and black. This flag is a warning flag that a ship is near a nation's territorial waters and may be subject to a security search if caught within this "Pursuit Zone."  It represents the 12 nautical mile area of International Waters where a nation's security force is legally active.

The 12 Nautical Mile Contiguous Zone is just beyond a nation's Territorial Waters.  The Nautical Contiguous Zone is the proverbial boarder "Chase Zone" of International Waters where national police pursuit is in effect.  For example if a foreign nation should dump toxic waste in these waters, infringe on customs law, conduct any illegal activities a nation can arrest a ship in this area. But if a ship is 25 nautical miles out to sea, she is free from harassment from a nation's coast guard.   

International Maritime Exclusive Economic Zone Flag

The Exclusive Economic Zone flag consists of the colours black, white, and green. White represents peaceful international cooperation, while green and black represent Earthly and economic abundance. Specifically green represents natural abundance while black represents mineral waelth, and the great feeling of being "in the black."  It is to be flown within 200 nautical miles off shore of a nation's coastline, below the national flag. 

In this example the EEZ flag is flown 200 nautical miles off shore the coast of Canada.  This flag indicates that fishing, mining, and economic activity within this zone is the exclusive right of Canada.  Yet Canadian laws do not necessarily apply.  National laws of any nation apply 12 nautical miles beyond a nation's coastline.

Star Wars - The Force Awakens 2015

Vexilloids of the Jedi return to the movie screen in 2015.  We can guess that the banners hanging from the ceiling are individual Jedi armorial banners? A host of worn colorful flags guard the entrance to the ruins of some kind of sacred temple?



Here is a website that tapped this flagtastic stuff with a vexi-dart:

Penguin flag from the 1966 Batman movie

The Original Penguin Flag from the First Batman Movie 1966

The Penguin flag from the Batman movie uses the colours black, white, and purple.  It has swallowtail end.  In the center is a black disc with the standard skull and crossbones logo.

Batman and Robin with US flag in the original Batman Movie - 1966

In 1966 Batman swung from TV to Hollywood.  The classic caped crusaders can be seen here running through the streets of Gotham to save the members on the security counsel of the UW - United World Organization.  In the background is the US flag gently flapping in the background.

United World Organization Arms from the Batman Movie 1966

In the first Batman movie Batman saves the UW.  The United World organization is where the leaders of the world united to discuss global issues.  The logo consists of a coloured map of the world with six continents, minus Asia.  Rumor has it that Asia is on the obverse of the logo, its an Oregon thang'.    The map of the world of six continents is underscored with crossed peacock feathers.  The logo is "PAX AETERNA"

 The UW looks remarkably like the UN.  Since this movie was created in 1966 several outdated flags can be seen, including: the starry Burma flag and the white elephant flag of Laos.  Note that the modern Libya flag reboot is flying, which had changed three times before returning to the 1966 version as it was in 2011.
