Fun Fact: the Spanish Flag actually is a "Union Jack" because the coat of arms that is in the flag is a combination of the Kingdoms of Castille, Aragon/Catalonia/Valencia, Navarra and Leon
And the Kingdom of Granada represented by the pomegranate at the bottom of the shield.
But its a very ugly flag still
Don't forget Plus ultra from Charles V
@@alexandrecudre2947 "plus ultra" (further beyond" used to say "non plus ultra", and refered to the Strait of Gibraltar, that was believed to be the end of the world.
When they discovered that there was something "further beyond", Charles changed the motto

Points at the jedi order flag
« I don’t know what flag that is »
Me: It’s treason then
At least he recognizes the rebel flag
@@LuunieTuunie from my knowledge ,I might be wrong, the Jedi flag is the same as the rebel flag
@@benkerem5517 no it's not it similar but not the same
@@benkerem5517 no but similar. The rebels took inspiration from the Jedi.
@@TrippaMazing87 In legends its the Marek family symbol. They chose this to honor Galen Marek who was Vader's secret apprentice and also helped form the rebel alliance.
Drew:
"Some of these countries needs to update their flag"
Denmark:
*Starts sweating as the flag hasn't been changed since 1219*
Lol
Technically, it has. There was another flag during the Kalmar Union.
Their Flag haven't Been updated since 1500 (523 years)
Why change something that is perfect.
4:48 “I don’t even know what this is.”
Me, a hard-core Star Wars fan: *JEDI ORDER*
wait is that jedi order or republic flag?
My guy looked through the comments to find someone pointing this out
@@fatty2194Jedi order
Normal flags: some colors, maybe symbols, shapes...
Shuya: *b a r o f s o a p*
"Terrible color choices....why yellow and green?"
Brazil: ☹️

Australia, being green and gold:
Fin fact: the Mexican Huichol flag is actually inspired by psychedelics.
The Huichol culture uses the peyote cactus as a religious practice. This cactus is a powerful psychedelic, making you trip and see crazy patterns and colors, and is commonly depicted in their art… The green side of the flag shows the peyote cactus as a pattern.
9:13 That's the symbol of the Nordic Council, which is a cooperation organization for nordic parliaments and governments. The biggest problem with using that symbol, is that most Nordic people associate it with another symbol called the Nordic Swan mark, which is based on it, but is used to label environmental friendly products such as recycled paper.
Thank you i was looking for someone to explain though i already knew-
"Why yellow and green?"
*sad brazillian noises*
😔
It is the only flag Ive ever seen that makes a good combiantion of yellow and green
@@thegoldenpyro yeah, it’s amazing
What about Australia? They use those colours as their colours but not in their flag just saying.
@@cobravideoss Australia?
Fun fact: The circle flags are called roundels
okat
Wow
Circle flags arent roundels... circle flags are flags and roundels are more of an insignia like a shield
@@kh2b573 well I mean no actual flags are circular so those are technically roundels.
Thank you for the knowledge sir
3:33 Badger gets called a beaver. Angry Wisconsin noises.
Thank you excactly what I was thinking
As a wisconsinite, I am very angry
Multi-coloured binding on passports is an anti-counterfeit measure. The Finnish passport also has blue and white binding so other countries should have them too.
4:46 was the jedi order flag
Yes
Yes
Thaught it was the Brotherhood of steel at first, got da when i realized its the Jedi order
Hello there
@@elipenn5768 general kenobi
13:17 That character 食 in Japanese flag literally means "to eat"
What was this guy thinking when he/she made it???
Maybe sushi should be their new flag
They probably made it just before lunch.
I saw it before and ikr?!
In Chinese it means food. Still doesn’t make sense
Eating is important.
Mexico: “Spain controlled them for a little bit” 😂
Longer than the US has been a country.
8:41 Of course it's a democratic republic, there's a president.
UK Flag : Exist
Wales : Where Am I in the Flag?
When the Union Jack was formed, Wales was considered just a part of England and not its own separate entity, hence why it is not represented
@John Conquest It would look terrible with yellow, just change the blue to black in that scenario
Putting a dragon on it would ruin the symmetry
@@gaz9434 Or how about in bad situation if Northern Ireland gets annexed by Ireland that time the Union Jack will be like the old one, to prevent the looks of the old union jack, we can use the cross as the cross of Wales like you said, then the Union Jack will still stay like the current one
@@prathamprabhu9403 how is that a bad situation?
1:58
Did you just declare war against Brazil?
Não
And Jamaica Too
I love it so much on 0:39 I love this so much I literally put on the USSR and and I still loved it. I got everything that I saw.
The Chinese flag in 13:13 means "Serving the people" 为人民服务 - A slogan of the CCP since they took power in 1949 which they never practice.
The Japan one says 食 which means "food"
Drew: Pokes fun at Mexico over their constantly changing flag
Also Drew: Doesn't mention all the obsolete American flags
Just remove few stars
To be fair, the only changes to the National flag is just adding stars for every new state admitted.
Afghanistan: amateurs
13:52 all i could think of was just hungary, romania, and greece combinded with the kiribati symbols.
@4:35 officially you don't fly flags at night unless you are a vessel and then you really ought to fly the naval insignia
9:59 Italian passports have that too (but red instead of orange, obviously)
"In 1989 the supporters of of German reunification in East Germany simply cut out the the middle of their flag."
Hungarians: 'Scuse me?
Romanians: excuse me?
Nah they just adopted west Germany
The Romanians did that but did the Hungarians do that?
15:00
If I recall correctly, paraguay has two different designs on both sides of their flag as well.
Just checked, and yeah. One side has their coat of arms, and the other bears a lion and their national motto.
@@YourLocalArabian Oregon does
Fun Fact: The Gif-format was introduced in 1987 (and wasn’t the first format allowing for transperancy), thus of course the East Germans had image transparency. (They also had their own TLD: ".dd"
I Love Learning about country and you make it fun 🤩 so I watch your videos daily about 4-10 videos a day keep it up 👍🏿!
4:56 "Star Wars Day"
May the Fourth.... be with you.
6:31 "You have Spain, because Spain controlled them for a little bit"
*300 years*
Spain controlled them as long as they are independent
*300 years*
Drew said my state flag was one of his favorites, I'm so happy rn
8:14 isn't that just the 2019 rugby world cup logo
Drew: So we have Spain who controlled Mexico for a 'little bit'
Spanish Mexico: 1521 - 1821. 300 Years
Present day mexico: 1821 - 2020. 199 years
Bro no one cares
@@polpot6 like when your dad left you
F
Hey Mexico's almost 200 good for them
@@polpot6 shut up
I don't think he realizes that the Japanese-style flags aren't in the style of the Japanese Country Flag, but of its Prefectures. So it doesn't matter if it's pre-1999 or post-1999, it's using the current style for the Japanese Prefectures.
He's only joking
@@Halberds8122 no he's being stupid
@@bruhz_089 no, joke's being stupid.
@@asheep7797 ?

You’ve found the perfect balance between somehow coming off as monotone and enthusiastic at the same time. Not sure whether that’s a good thing or not but still really cool :D
9:27 yep but Louisiana, when we are here, was a half of usa ;)
2:41 YES! New York and New Jersey need flags like this! And interestingly the only one here that hasn't changed is NM. NM is consistently said to be one of the best US state flags.
The Hungarians also did the same thing around 5:25 during the Hungarian revolt of 1956
9:11 The symbol that is showing is the flag/design for the Nordic Council. It was developed by, you guess it, the Nordic countries
3:15 NH should be a heat measuring devise ( I forget what it is) because their weather is always changing
'Mexico changed its flag every couple of years for a while'
The United States: 👀
I’m confused.
Portugal switching there flags like every decade 😐
czechia is pronounced checkia
чехия
It’s “chekiya” transliterated from Cyrillic
They checc
8:46 Meanwhile *Democratic* People's Republic of Korea: democracy? Did you mean communism?
Glad you like Bob Ross too, most folk I mention him to never heard of him.
He was such a beautiful soul.
14:50 Drew: "FLAGS HAVE BACKSIDES?!"
Me: *sad Oregonian noises*
"Terrible choice of colors. Why yellow and green?"
Brazilians hearing this: 😥😥😥
In the “there is a house in my neighborhood that changes its flag daily” you asked what flag the top left corner was, that was the Galactic Republic flag from star wars
15:31 golden wie unser Bier, rot wie das blut das wir vergossen haben und schwarz wie unsere vergangenheit
He: "why yellow and green?"
Brazilians: ;-;
Crying in portuguese 😭

@DaGe PaPo jesus might be the spanish spelling
I like how he got the Rebellion flag from Star Wars, but not the Jedi Order's.
*Cries in 'Its Treason then'*
Durnil: "Chechia"
Czechs: *sad "changing our name so it's easier for people from other countries can read it correctly" noises *
"What's Northern Ireland got? Horses?"
*mouses over six foot long antlers*
7:40, the Union Jack always looks evil when seen form the Irish perspective
"i dont know what flag that is" as he hovers over the Jedi Order flag.
4:48
I know nothing about this besides the fact that my brother did it in elementary school that my brother did it in elementary school but it’s this thing called a young padwagon I think and it’s basically like this company that helps kids play instruments, for my brother was the recorder and he did the recorder karate thing
13:02 when you forget you have an assignment due
The thing on the Oklahoma flag is a Osage Nation buffalo-skin shield with eagle feathers
Cool SPARE SLOT
We also have two peace symbols, an olive branch and a calumet. And the crosses on the shield represent native american symbols for stars. (I had to research this.)
Spotted
home, sweet home
4:50
That's the fricken fleg of the Jedi order 😂
I actually do have a small flag collection, all 3x5 and I change my flag pole everyday, it’s fun to see that people do that.
“Terrible color choices, why yellow and green?”
Brazil, Jamaica, Mauritania, etc.: ☹️
"Does (the Union Flag) look evil to anybody?"
Well yeah, a lot of people, but not because it was modified here.
The "but it's realistic" would be easy to do for Australia and New Zealand. Just a picture of the night sky with the UK space station "Empire" in orbit
That "house in my neighbourhood" one has my province's flag! We aren't a large province so it's really nice to see
Huichol are the indigenous people of mexico who continue to revere peyote, as it is associated with their blue deer god. Their art is legit.
10:16 “I know I’m triggering loads of British people”.
No no drew. You’re triggering English people.
Germany knew png in 1989 but Hungary knew png in 1956, they were more advanced than the Germans
Actually the flag of Spain does have the flag of Castile, Leon and Aragon. They are on the shield of the flag. In addition, the first flag of Spain was a mixture of the flags of Castile, León, Aragón and the two Sicilies (the one that is in Europa Universalis IV).
The same thing also happened in Hungary in 1956 (but with the Hungarian flag of course)
It's 12 am, right when im about to sleep. Eh, nevermind...

drew: *looks at czechia text*
also drew: is that chechnya?
6:03 As a Tennesseean myself, I feel entirely ecstatic that we’ve been mentioned
I feel ya
The DDR flag is so godly. If only they kept Auferstanden aus Ruinen as the anthem of a unified Germany. A much better way to represent the new Germany. A Germany risen from the ashes and moving in a new direction
Hi president I salute you
Just kidding
That is so true! I just listen to it, to get sure it isn't socialistic at all. It is not. It actually fits perfectly to the German zeitgeist!
@@joze838 it's socalist cause it is about progress and welfare of the people,about the beauty of Deutschland which ddr had,today's Germany is just America 2.0
@@zurdddtk3025 There is nothing about welfare in that song and if progress is socialism than socialism looked quite weird in Mainz 1450AD. Please educate yourself what socialism means, you have obviously no idea. Man, did you ever been to those countries you are comparing? They are worlds appart.
@@joze838 the song is literally about rissing from the ashes into a great cooperative society without hate or extremist nationalism, about not repeating the past mistakes and moving on into a bright future,if it isn't progress then wtf it is? Not to forget this song was composed and written by a Socalists like hanns eisler,this song was banned in west especially in west Germany cause the bourgeois government of west didn't like Socalist and progressive bright German future songs
the german union jack is actually just the flag of Baden-Würtenberg and bavaria on top of each other
"Oregon gets the beaver" proceeds to not show it at all and moves on.
They gave Norway a fireman's axe. Dude. There's literally an axe on the national seal, use that one.
Drew: “Why yellow and green”
Brazil: 😂🔫
7:28 Yes my home country!
The house that changes their flag every day, the flag you didnt recognize was a flag from Star Wars
4:48 For the Republic!
Jedi*
4:48 is from Star wars as Well, its the Jedi sign i think
1:30 power company, like with telephone poles and all. Basically utility workers
4:48 that icon in the center of the flag is the symbol of the Republic from the star wars prequels
5:24 same thing happened in Hungary after the Hungarian uprising in 1958
and to Romania in 1989
56*
7:44 I’ve been doing this but on a smaller scale and only with national flags. I have to say, I feel outshined.
At least can u put greece? Lol
8:26 pepsi
The US flag in the UKs style sounds like an eldritch Abomination
6:39 fun fact: you say that “...some of you need to be updating your stuff...” Scotland’s flag is actually 500 years old! There is also the story that it was actually around for more than that by a lot. 60AD is roughly the time, that Saint Andrew was crucified. You can learn more just by typing up “how old is the Scottish flag” on google.
"Why Yellow and Green?"
I felt that...
That Louisiana flag is kinda pog, ngl.
I mean, a fleur de leis that's also a pelican? clever AF
First and last flag are from Star Wars. 4:48 This is the flag of the old Jedi Order during the Old Republic (KOTOR, TOR) and 4:56 is the flag of Alliance to Restore Republic
8:04 Norway be like: 😳
Imagine demonetizing a channel not just for historical flag depictions in an educational manner and setting, but for depictions of current official state flags
The Gaulish one looked quite nice IMO
That first flag in the person who hangs one up every day is the Jedi flag so actually a few Star Wars ones
2:43 is there a petition to make these flags official? It would be nice to have the flags be consistent, but unique.
1:00 but... Spain's flag is already a mix/combination of the Kingdom of Castile, Kingdom of Leon, Kingdom of Aragon, and the Kingdom of Navarre.
Fact: The Spanish flag DOES do this, in the coat of arms there's a simbol for Castilla, León, Aragón, Nafarroa and Granada symbolizing the four Christian Kingdoms of Castilla, León, Aragón and Nafarroa and the last Arab Taifa Kingdom of Granada.
At 4:48 he says I don't even know what flag that is. It is the Republic flag from Star wars
