Geographic Flags - Trinity Flags for Norway, Finland, and Georgia

 Finland, Georgia, and Norway are all a part of the Geographic Trinity Zone, where Asia, Africa, and Europe are in the same time zone.  All of Georgia is in this region, while only the eastern portions of Finland and Norway enter this special geographic zone.  Thus they all qualify for Trinity Flags the represent a union of Asia, Africa, and Europe.

An altered version of the national coat if arms is visible in the triangular fly. Usually the lion is placed on a red background but for Finland's trinity flag, a blue background harmonizes with the blue division.

Geographic Flags -Trinity Flags: Russia, Israel, & Ethiopia

Trinity Flags are for nations that reside in a special geographic zone in between all three continents: Asia, Africa, and Europe. This region of earth is defined by the most western point of the Asian Continent in Turkey and the most eastern point of Africa in Somalia. 

In this longitude all three Old World Continents are in alignment.  It is here that Africa, Asia, and Europe eat, pray, work, live, love, marry, and dream together since the first written word of time.

The design is reflective of the geographic overlap of Europe, Asia, and Africa.  The triangle by the fly represents Asia, the upper trapazoid represents Eruope, and the lower trapazoid represents Africa.


Ethiopia is due south of Europe and Asia, thus it qualifies for a Trinity Flag.  Ethiopia's Trinity flag uses the same colours of its official national ensign.








 Coincidentally Israel is in the middle of it all sandwiched in between Africa and Europe, yet an essential part of Asia.
Russia is lies at the top of this special geographic corridor where a trinity of continents meet in between 26 degrees east to 51 degrees east.  It really is basically 25 degrees of separation.

Toyama Prefecture's Cycladic Space Ensign

Toyama Prefecture is a would 'state' of Japan, or rather sub national district.  Since it resides in the African-European Belt, also known as the Cycladic Zone which is where Africa and Europe are parallel to each other it deserves a Cyclaic Space Ensign.

The colours are based upon the current Toyama Prefectural flag.

Sicily's Virginia Tilt Flag

Sicily is the largest island to qualify for a Virginia Tilt flag.  A Virginia Tilt is when a place is parallel to both Europe and Africa, but has a slight tilt towards Europe, geographically speaking that is. 

The colours and design are all taken from the flag of Sicily but the basic design stems from the US flag, Jamaica and the final rebel flag to arise on Virginia Soil in 1865.

Kitty Hawk's Cycladic Flag

Kitty Hawk, North Carolina just happens to by cosmic coincidence lie in the Cycladic Belt.  The Cyclaidic Belt is the rare and precious latitude where Africa and Europe are parallel to each other.  In between 36 degrees north and about 37.3 degrees north, neither Africa or Europe can claim to be more north or more south of each other.

Of the Old World Hemisphere, Asia beats out Europe on being more northwards, while Australia is more southern than Africa.  However America, North & South, when speaking of continents minus the islands trumps the Old World as being more north or more south.
