Kosovo & Bosnia-Herzegovina; Europe + 2 & Allah

Flag of Kosovo
Once again like a smashing of atoms the smashing of a nation has created an uncanny similarity between two nations born out of the shattering of Yugoslavia and then Serbia!

Both of these nations have chosen a sea of blue and white stars, reflective of the European Union and a yellow blob or shape. Kosovo's flag is the organic-natural blot while Bosnia Herzegovina's flag is an artificial-abstract shape.

Most Vexillologists would probably rank Kosovo's flag below Bosnia Herzegovina and or want to change Kosovo's flag. Vexillological Orthodoxy has an extreme distaste for organic and natural shapes, animals, and letters.

Flag of Bosnia Herzegovina
Both Kosovo and Bosnia Herzegovina have a strong element of Islamic peoples, they are Europe's newest additions. The interesting political notion is that when the West supported the devolution of Kosovo from Serbia, this set into motion the political blow back of Russia's support for the devolution of Georgia via Abkazia and Ossetia.

Although Serbia and Russia are not the best of friends 100% of the time, they are connected by destiny and the shape of the flag which is the like the shape of their heart.

The USA only had only 30 years to deal just recently with Islamic Taxi drivers and a few Muslim professionals here and there. Serbia and Russia were ruled by Islamic Overlords for nearly 300 years and had their Christian Identity oppressed and tested. Can you imagine if the USA or UK had Islamic overlords to rule their country for 300 years and had to pay extra taxes because they are simply Christians? Long story short, when the Turks ruled over South Eastern Europe they were able to convert a good minority of white folk, namely many of the peoples who now make up nations of Bosnia Herzegovina & Kosovo.

After the creation of the Bosnia Herzegovina flag in European consciousness it naturally lead to the creation of another flag that 'balanced' the 'equation' by creating this uncanny symmetry of two nations that were once united with Serbia.

Chad & Romania; Ebony & Ivory

Flag of Romania in Europe
It is a union with the heart of Europe with the heart of Africa. Romania is a central state of Europe and the only Romance speaking nation that is mostly Eastern Orthodox, all the other 'Romance-language nations' remained loyal to Rome except Romania.

Romania also has a varied mix of nations and languages. Romania has been ruled by Christians, Muslims, Fascists and Communists, can you imagine if your nation had such a rich history?

Islam, Christianity, and the Traditional Spirit all beat a life force into the nation of Chad. The peoples are diverse with Arabs to Black Africans with many languages. Like Romania, Chad has been ruled by Muslims, Christians, and Fascists. During the Cold War she had to fight with extreme right wing Islamic-fascists from Libya. But with a little help from France, Chad stayed away from the far right.

Flag of Chad in Africa
Romania is a central nation of Europe crossing the four seasons line at 45 degrees north (in between the north pole and equator). She gets all four seasons and has all full bodied range of mountains.

Chad is a central nation of Africa crossing the Arab-Black African line. Deserts and Jungles sculpt the land with a heavy tone of sunshine, Chad too has mountains and plains as well.

Both nations have a history of being dominated by some other nation. They are ancient dancing partners caught in the cross roads of civilization. The richness of their heritage is manifold and they have only begun their new golden era.

Uganda & Zimbabwe

Flag of Uganda

Uganda & Zimbabwe have flags with similar stripes but in different orders. They also have birds on their flags. They are land locked nations in the rift valley and have been culturally connected to the UK thus English is widely spoken.

Oman & Madagascar; Cancer & Capricorn

Flag of Oman

Oman and Madagascar are two nations tied to East Africa. So close yet separate. The roots of there civilizations reside in Asia.

Madagascar is a huge island just off the coast of East Africa and is the melting-pot mosaic of the Indian Ocean with heritages from Indonesia, India, Arabia (Oman), and Africa. But it was the latecomers, the French who snookered control in the end, yet they too would surrender control to the 'natives.'

Flag of Madagascar
Oman and Madagascar are the only flag-pair that are geographically aligned with the two tropic lines of the hemispheres. Oman lies along the North Indian Ocean along the Tropic of Cancer, while Madagascar lies in the South Indian Ocean along the Tropic of Capricorn.

During the longest days of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun directly above the Tropic of Cancer. Around June 21, usually.

And during the longest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere, the sun is straight up directly above the Tropic of Capricorn. Around December 21, usually.

These lands are sunny and bright with a patriotic wave of red, green and white!

Sierria Leone & Lesotho

Sierra Leone
an African American homeland
carved in African for Africans
of the UK Empire returning to Africa

Sierra Leone & Lesotho are two African nations of distant lands who were united under the British Empire. Sierra Leone is north of the equator in West Africa, while Lesotho is south of the equator in East Africa.

Both nations are homelands designed by the British. Sierra Leone was a colony mostly of freed slaves, thus it is called the Liberia of the UK, or rather Liberia is the Sierra Leone of the US. While Lesotho is an independent homeland for native Africans on their own soil.

It'd be like.... if a Native American Indian reservations were to become their own nations....sort'a.

Lesotho
an African homeland for
Native Africans carved
out of South Africa


Blue, Green, and White are the themes that link these ancient sisters and brothers. Once again the amazing and bizarre linkage between nations makes its self evident!

Gabon & Lesotho

Flag of Gabon
adopted by France
Two nations of the French speaking persuasion that are in Central Africa. The poetry of the sun is loud, royal and rich.

Rwanda teaches us the genocide is not a word limited to European or Asian civilization. People can be misled at the wrong time and wrong place to do horrible things to their neighbors. Perhaps the only vanguard against such atrocities is listening and patience. Say and do good, spend the effort and time to communicate, communicate, and communicate.
Flag of Rwanda
adopted by Germany & Belgium

Gabon was the 'Liberia' of France in much the same way that 'Sierra Leone' was to the UK. But before these lofty ambitions took hold, Gabon received her name from the Portuguese and it was a central slave depot for the Dutch, English, and French Colonies.

Rwanda like her fist adoptive parent Germany carries the scars, shame, and sadness of 20th century genocides. Sad this is yet it is also their honor and destiny in the afterglow of these sorrowful tragedies that we can distill a fragrant wisdom that can help keep our nations at peace.
