@@suwinkhamchaiwong8382 They're not unbreakable rules set down in law by the UN or something, just general guidelines that several different organizations have sorta settled on. A dragon might be hard to draw but it's also hard to forgot so it doesn't violate the spirit of the rule which is more about having an easy to remember and recognize design. The Welsh flag accomplishes this very well as anyone could recognize the distinctive dragon in that pose and the dragon has been used on RN ships.

7:00 It was not ignored. Here's my explanation on it. For short summary : Indonesia's flag never changed since Majapahit Empire. The Indonesians rejected Monaco's request to change the flag. The red and white flag was used since Majapahit era in the 13th centuries to 16th centuries. It was used in other Kingdoms too after Majapahit Empire is gone. Even when Indonesia (or Dutch East Indies) was colonized by the Dutch in early 20th, the local Indonesian people were still using the red and white flag (although they couldn't do it freely because of the Dutch strict rules). It was freely used when Japan comes to make Indonesians to like them more. Then WW2 ends, it was just used officially as the Indonesia's flag in 1945 when Indonesia declared their independence. There are hundreds of history behind the flag and it always used to represent the people who lived there, in Nusantara, so it's impossible to change it, or rather, why would the Indonesians change the hundreds of years flag from their past empire just because another country didn't like it? I think it even predated that of the Principality of Monaco too. So Monaco cannot use the "we use it first" reason. In the end they agreed with Indonesia's flag ratio is 2:3 meanwhile Monaco is 4:5. I think the shade is slightly different with Indonesia's red is brighter. Obviously, the meaning and history behind the two flag are completely different from each other. Fun fact/theory(?) : There are other flags that based on the Majapahit flag. There's theory/speculation on the US flag is based on the Majapahit flag because of the British East India Company's flag was inspired by the Majapahit's flag. There are two types of flag, the red-white flag (the banner) and the stripes (the pennant). I forgot the names, sorry. The Company probably seen the ships from Majapahit used those stripes and added the Britain's flag there. Indonesia still use the red and white stripes too for the Naval Jack. Indonesia didn't change since Majapahit Empire basically.

In my experience, Kiwis are pretty indifferent to their flag. I knew people there who couldn't really tell the difference between the Aussie and Kiwi flags, or at least that's what they said. Even if they were lying, that shows great indifference, which is fine, of course, but a shame just because the winning new flag was SO much better. I've seen some good alternate ideas for the Aussie flag, too. One other worth mentioning is the Chinese "Five-Coloured Flag". Either China or Taiwan should bring that one back, because both of those countries have political flags, while the Five-Coloured Flag is cultural. It's also cool and pretty distinct.

Really excited about this video, it's been one I've been wanting to make for years, so I'm glad I've finally gotten around it doing it. In this video, I look at some of my favourite flags that I've come across over the years. After listening to an audiobook about flags, now seemed like the perfect time to finally make my vexilollogy video. Audible is the sponsor of this video, and right now they're doing a special holiday offer in which you can get 3 months of Audible for just $6.95 per month. Signing up via my unique link really helps out the channel - audible.com/wonderwhy At the end of the video, I recommened the audiobook "Worth Dying For: The Power and Politics of Flags", written by Tim Marshall (author of the fantastic Prisoners of Geography). Would highly recommened both of them. Really hope you all enjoy this video, it was a ton of fun to make. It's always great to make a video about something that I'm passionate about! I'll have another video before the end of the year, so I'll see you all then! Thanks for watching!
