Flag Chart for Americans born Abroad



Not all Americans were born in the USA.  So in honor of those Americans born in foreign lands, here are flags to represent which continent they were born.  Note that these flags are for American Citizens born in a foreign nation, Americans who later became naturalized, and immigrants on their way to becoming fully fledged American Citizens.

These flags match in rank to the state flags of regular born in the USA Americans.  All Americans no matter where they came from are a part of the official American flag, but these are sub-federal marker flags.

Also note these flags follow the geographic distance rule.  Thus Cuba born Americans should use the Born in North America Flag while Trinidad born Americans should use the South American Born Flag.  But Puerto Rico born Americans should use the Puerto Rico Flag.  But if Puerto Rico declares independence from the US, only then should Puerto Rico born Americans use the South American born flag, since Puerto Rico is closest to South America.






Flag for Canadian Born US Citizens

 
This flag is for Americans who were born in Canada or Americans who were once Canadian and became official US Citizens.  Canadian-born Americans like Ted Cruz should also use the North American Born Flag, which outranks this flag.

The two white stripes are a reminder of the two nations formed in 1776, for two nations were created.  Likewise the echo and honor for the Canadian tribar is preserved to some extent. 

Why does Canada get its own flag?  Well Canadians have a unique bond with the United States unlike any other nation.  The US and Canada are fraternal nations of sorts in the same manner Peru and Columbia are fraternal nations.

Flag for US Citizens born in Australia and Pacific Oceania

This flag may look like the Easton Flag, but note the Easton flag has stars with eight points and a 13th star in the center.  In this case, the Australian or Pacific Oceania born Americans flag use five pointed stars in a circle.

Since most of the countries in Pacific Oceania are down under, the stars and stripes have been reversed - such that the stripes are in the canton and the stars are in the field.

Rick Springfield - Singer of Jessie's Girl

Flag for US Citizens Born in Africa

The flag for Americans born in Africa has a red field and Betsy Ross Canton and one white stripe.  It can be flown by Americans who were legally born in Africa or later in life became US Citizens.

The red field is taken from the association of red with the mythical link of the South with the Phoenix.

Flag for US Citizens born in Europe

The flag for European Born Americans has a white filed and Betsy Ross Canton and one red stripe.  The white filed represents the ancient association of the mythical White Tiger of the West. This flag is for Americans born abroad in Europe or who later became US Citizens later in life.

The area of land also includes the European regions of Turkey, Kazakhstan, Russia, Georgia and Azerbaijan.

Water is used as they key dividing lines separating continents, rather than land-mountains, thus the division between Europe and Asia is based upon four rivers: the Ural River and Mass-to-Ob River for the East-to-West Axis ; and the Kura River and Rioni River with the North-to-South between the two continents.  Water is the key element that creates a natural separation between islands and areas of land.

Thus Americans born in Georgia north of the Rioni River can use this flag.  Likewise Americans born in Russia west of the Ural and Mass-Ob River to the western wing of the Mass River can use this flag.

The majority of Americans born under this flag are US Military Brats born on US bases all across Western Europe with a heavy concentration in the western area of Germany.
