The Federation of South Arabia and Tanzania - Afroasian Flag Twins

Flag of South Arabia
1962-1967

The flags of Tanzania and South Arabia align by colours and design - sky blue, yellow, green, and black. The flag of South Arabia is no longer official. South Arabia would eventually evolve into Yemen after the cold war.

These lands lie or lied along the Indian Ocean at the cross roads between Asia and Africa. It was with union of Zanzibar with Tanganyika that Tanzania was created with a new flag. Thus from 1962 unto 1967 these flags were in active alignment.

Likewise the cultural roots of Zanzibar stem from Southern Arabia or modern day Yemen. With these two nations the cultures of Arabia and Africa come together. They are distant nations yet related.

Flag for HD 188753 or rather the Jim Henson Star System

from in this triple Star System

In 1982 Jim Henson created the imaginative world of the Dark Crystal. In it we see a planet with three suns. There were many scientists who argued that planets could not exist in such a system. Well in 2005 a planet was found in a triple star system. Henson was right, thus a fitting name for this star system is the Jim Henson Star System.

Turks and Caicos Flag Proposal
if independence is ever chosen

It conserves the official badge of the Turks and Caicos. It follows the design of the former Republic of Anguilla. However both Turks & Caicos and Anguilla are still 'colonies' of the United Kingdom.

They both had opportunities to go independent - but held on the Mother Britannia when the time came.

Republic of Anguilla 1967-1969

Turks and Caicos were formerly a part of the the Bahamas but opted to remain an official part of Britain. Geographically Turks and Caicos are a part of the Bahamas but separated by politics.

Anguilla was also connected to its neighbors but chose to go its own way.
