11:02 This means "Confoederatio Helvetica" which is the official name of Switzerland. And yes its in Latin, because if you pick one of the four official languages it would be unfair to the other one's. (They are truly the boss of neutrality. It also fits with CHees and CHocolate. 😉) And yes, this is their Countrycode The one from China is: CHN

[@ilikeonions1051]

everything right, but more explained reason is that that Switzerland was once very religious country and would use latin a lot, and since Switzerland doesnt have single official language for every canton, they stay with latin. But close enough i guess Lmao

[@wavegodxxx420]

Thanks brozo i was going to point it out But itsnt china XN?

Thank you! I was about to comment the same

[@Germ_f]

10:58 maybe they’re not referring to China, they’re actually referring to Switzerland because the Swiss acronym is CH (Confédération Helvétique)

[@excelsior3381]

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking

[@fanaticofmetal]

The name is actually in Latin "Confoederatio Helvetica" or something like that which translates as "Swiss Confederation"

[@flopjul3022]

@@fanaticofmetal Correct the latin is official Singularity uses French, Nike uses registration plates for their acronyms(D for Germany/Deutchland, NL for the Netherlands/Nederland, the only 2 exeptions from countries that dont use their official acronym are USA and UK whom use US and GB for their registration plates)

[@jorritjens8052]

Oh so thats why the shortening for swiss frank is CHF

[@mtge]

Yeah, thought China is PRC

[@rommul1389]

10:59 no, the Swiss one is correct lol, the CH stands for Confoederatio Helvetica, meaning Swiss Confederation.

[@hackbertgrutzkotz7653]

All of them were correct. They used the official International vehicle registration codes.

[@starflightwinter633]

Fun fact: The Act of Union was under a Scottish monarchy, not an English one. England hasn't had someone English on the throne since the 1400s. Current royal house is German

[@timvlaar]

Yes, I believe the chronology of the nationality English/British houses, is English (Anglo-Saxon), French (Norman), Welsh (Tudors), Scottish (Stuarts) and now German (George I to Elizabeth II).

[@frigginjerk]

Yeah, the current British royals are from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. They changed it in World War I because it would look bad to have Britain ruled by a king with such an aggressively German family name.

[@timvlaar]

Though I believe when Prince Charles makes king, the monarch will technically be from a Danish royal house.

11:01 'ch' is according to to one of the most accepted country code standarts( (Iso 3166) the correct country code for switzerland(Confoederatio Helvetica) China's would be 'cn' Edit: it seems they used the International vehicle registration code with the exception of GB -> UK and US -> USA

Don't be mistaken. It's not that the emoji standard has picked out which countries and subdepartments get flags.
