The Portuguese flag tryout

Was here pondering about this problem. You see, there are these things called flags...


and i was wondering about them. In particular about flags i am familiar with.

Are flags important? You bet they are. As Eddie Izzard puts it, "no flag no country". You can't declare you are a nation without a nation flag or something of the sort.

From here, i could go on and debate (or whatever you do when you talk to yourself) on what exactly is a country. But i'll stick to flags as a symbol of a country.

And since there is a whole scholarly study dedicated to flags, I'll restrict myself and stick to a flag i am familiar with.


Presenting, the Portuguese flag:






Interesting isn't it?
