An Info-Graphic for World Maritime Day

Flag for the Earth's Outer Rim of the Milky Way Galaxy

"The Sub-Tropic of Auriga"


This flag can be flown anywhere along the 28th parallel north: The Milky Way Outer Rim Sub-Tropic of Auriga.  It is at this latitude whereby the stars systems directly down stream from Earth reside in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Our "Directly Down Stream Milky Way" cousins appear in the northern night skies during Halloween in the Chariot Constellation, Auriga. 

Flag for the Milky Way's Central Core - to be flown along the Milky Way Inner Core Sub-Tropic of Sagittarius

"The Sub-Tropic of Sagittarius"


This flag can be flown anywhere along a special line of latitude known as the Milky Way Inner Core Sub-Tropic of Sagittarius: which is approximately 28.9 degrees south.  Likewise anyplace on Earth that resides along the 28th parallel south can fly this flag anytime.  For the rest of the planet, one can only fly this flag during the month of April and May, because that is when the core of the Milky Way Galaxy appears in the night sky.

Nations that can fly this flag all year round include: Australia, South Africa, Namibia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and French Polynesia. 

Flag for the Galactic South Pole in Sculptor, the Sculpture

"The Southern Circle of Sculptor"



This is the flag for the Galactic South Pole which can be found in the Sculptor the Sculpture.   

This flag can be flown anywhere in the world during the months of August and September, when the Galactic South Pole appears in the nightly sky.  Furthermore it can be flown anywhere along the 27th parallel south, since this part of Earth is directly underneath the Galactic South Pole when it is visible at night.

For Earth this special line of latitude is known as the Southern Galactic Polar Circle of Sculptor

Famous places in the Anglo-phone universe that reside under the 27th parallel south include: Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland, and South Africa.  Coincidentally the most remote and loneliest civilization to arise under the Southern Galactic Pole was Easter Island Culture.


More precisely the Galactic South Pole is parallel to the Earthly latitude of 27.4 degrees south.

Flag for The Galactic North Pole in the Constellation Coma Berenice, the Pharaoh's Wig

"The Northern Circle of Coma Berenice"


Just as Earth has a 'North Pole' so to does our Milky Way Galaxy.  Our Galactic North Pole is located in the constellation of Coma Berenice, the Pharaoh's Wig of Queen Berenice.  It is visible during the month of February and March in between the constellations of Leo and Virgo. 

This flag can be flown anywhere on the planet during the months of February and March, when the Galactic North Pole appears in the night sky. 

Furthermore it can be flown anytime along the 27th parallel north on planet earth, since the pole is directly overhead at this latitude when it appears.  To be more precise the Galactic North Pole appears parallel to 27.4 degrees north on earth which matches to 27.4 degrees declination.

Thus the name of this enchanted latitude of galactic significance is: the Northern Galactic Polar Circle of Coma Berenice. 

Thus Texas and Florida can fly this flag any time.  Major US cities directly underneath the Galactic North Pole include Tampa Bay-FL, Corpus Christie-TX, and Laredo-TX.

By Earthly and Cosmic coincidence, the highest point of our planet reaches up into heavens at this latitude - Mt. Everest.

US-Liberia Presidential State Heritage Flags

As Liberia was founded by the United States it should be no surprise that several men born in the USA became the chief executive of that nation.  In honor of those states that sent men to the 'Presidential Oval Office' of Liberia here are US-Liberia Presidential State Heritage Flags.  The flag of Liberia mirrors the flag of the United States of America.  The primary difference is that there are eleven stripes instead of thirteen and there is only one star in the canton of Liberia and currently 50 in the US flag.  Most of the flags here follow the eleven stripe Liberia pattern.

As it was for the USA, as well as for Liberia, our first president was born in Virginia.  In this case the George Washington of Liberia is Joseph Jenkins Roberts.  Or rather the Joseph Jenkins Roberts of the USA is George Washington.  Two other Virginia born presidents include James Payne and Tony Gardiner.

Thus you can tell people 'a trivia-riddle' by saying, "Which US state was the first African American president born in?"  The correct answer is Virginia, not Hawaii.  Because the first African American president born in the USA (not necessarily president of the USA) was Joseph Jenkins who was voted to a presidential office back in 1848.  Barack Obama of Hawaii was the providential 11th African-American president born in the USA to become a president of nation.  Providential in the sense that there are 11 stripes on the Liberian flag.



South Carolina also played a role as one of the founding fathers of Liberia.  President Smith was born in Charleston, South Carolina.






Although there has never been a Maryland born US president, Maryland was destined to have several men become president of Liberia: Steven Allen Benson, Daniel Warner, and Garretson Gibson.


Kentucky gave Liberia two presidents.  Alfred Russell and Colman were Kentucky born. Thus Kentucky holds the record of having the most native born sons become the leaders of three different nations: one for the USA via Lincoln, one for the Confederacy via Jefferson Davis, and two for Liberia via presidents Colman and Russell.

You can stump your friends with this trivia question: "Which US state has the most leaders of foreign nations?"  Answer: By a single head....Kentucky!  At the moment, all other states only ever had one native born son or daughter become the leader of a foreign nation.

 The only US born Liberian President from 'Free Northern Soil' was Edward Roye of Newark, Ohio.
