The Four Corners Flag of The United States of America

Once you have sat, stood, or had each limb in the Four Corner's spot of the United States of America, you can fly this flag.  This is the one place in the United States where four states meet as one - through Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona.

The Four Corner's Flag takes four important symbols found on each state flag, uniting them in one grand flag  An interesting note is that this area is inbetween the continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe - where they are all at the same latitude of 37 degrees north.

The Four Corners Flag geographically illustrates how the states meet on a typical map.  It is at the south-eastern corner of Utah, the north-western corner of New Mexico, the south-western corner of Colorado, and north-eastern corner of Arizona where America meets as a 'quadrinity.'

Only one symbol is taken from each flag.  In Utah's case only the beehive with circle are used with a variance in the color of the circle from yellow to red.  In New Mexico's case the Zia Pueblo Cross is saved.  From Colorado's flag the red letter 'C' is saved.  And finally for Arizona the bronze star is used in this special geographic flag that one can earn by traveling to this most unique and quite bizarre spot in America.


Although an enchanting spot of America it totally resides under the care of Native Americans on a reservation - the Navaho Nation

Heavy Air Pollution Flag

The Heavy Air Pollution flag uses the colours red, black, and yellow.  Black and yellow are natural intuitive signs for caution and danger as they can be found on bees and snakes in this manner. Red conveys a sense of urgency and danger as well.

The Southern Hemisphere Flag

The flag of the Southern Hemisphere is based upon Eastern Cosmology whereby South is associated with the colour red with the red phoenix.  A yellow star points downwards as well. The yellow star reflects the center point of the central yellow dragon, which points down or southwards - by modern convention.

The Western Hemisphere Flag

This is a flag for the Western Hemisphere that can be flown anywhere West of the Prime Meridian. 

The flag for the Western Hemisphere is based on Eastern Cosmology whereby West is associated with White Tiger from the West.  In this case a white pile points left in a 'modern leftward/hoistward' western fashion along with the yellow star.

The Eastern Hemisphere Flag


The colours are based upon Eastern Cosmology as East is associated with the mythical Azure Dragon.  In this case an azure pile points in the modern conventional 'Eastern Direction' as does the yellow star.  Black appears on the top and red on the bottom.

As blue represents the East, black represents North and red represents South in Eastern Cosmology.  Absent from the flag is the colour white which is associated with the West.  Since East is diametrically opposed to West, it is not included in the this flag.  Likewise in the flag for the Western Hemisphere blue is concurrently left out.  

A flag for the Eastern Hemisphere to be flown anywhere in the Eastern Hemisphere.  It can be flown by a wholly mathematical criteria, in between the Prime Meridian and 180th Omega Meridian, or with a cultural geographic axis - anywhere on the Eastern Old World Hemisphere: Africa, Asia, or Europe.

The Uruguay-China Antipode Flag

A flag for the small speckle of Uruguay underneath China, or rather for the wee morsel of China underneath Uruguay.

Yes it is true that China is underneath America......... South America that is.
