Guess the Flag game

[Omnis]

It has to be on the horn of Africa because that's the only other thing that's arabic on the same longitude as Cyrpus.

If it's Morocco I'm going to tajine my pants.

edit: OMFG it's Morocco. THIS IS MAADNOUS! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Morocco_(780_1070)_(1258_1659).svg

LATITUDE, sir, Latitude!

 

[Wiegert]

Damn Idrisid dynasty.

LATITUDE, sir, Latitude!

I had a nagging feeling he mixed up latitude with longitude. It makes perfect sense now.

Forgot to put in the thing to specify what type of flag it is..

 

[That90sGuy]

Greenland. Interesting fact: It's not actually a country but a dependency of Denmark

 

[W3H5]

Awww was going to guess Morocco for the last one, but only because I was listening to The Clash when I saw the clue.

Forgot about that but it's to late .......

Greenland. Interesting fact: It's not actually a country but a dependency of Denmark

That is correct.

 

[That90sGuy]

Ok. This is a country.

 

[Wiegert]

Seychelles (wish I could go there some day).

 

[otakukid96]

Why is whenever there is a picture that I know what it is, somebody already got it right?

 

[Matty]

Ok. This is a country.

They have 6 athletes and 1 fan (that I know of) at the Olympics

They possibly have less fans at the games than participants? Damn, well at least they have some support.



Anyway:

Historical Country/State/Territory/Island/City/etc...

 

[That90sGuy]

1 minute, geez must be a new record.

 

[Nessy]

Pretty easy one, place where my mother was born.. part of my nationality.

Island:

You might want to make a correct guess on the previous flag before posting a new one

Sorry , didn't read the rules, my Faux Pas.

 

[nealcropper]

Well the flag that you have posted is saint kitts and Nevis.

Greenland. Interesting fact: It's not actually a country but a dependency of Denmark

Well, sorry to go a bit back, but Greenland has been Danish, but now it's got a “home rule” (not sure if it's the correct term for it), and therefore it's considered a country. Also by Danes.

Well the flag that you have posted is saint kitts and Nevis.

I would have said the same.

That is the flag of the city founded by Enzo's Irish brother, Seamus Ferrari.

How is Morrocco not the same longitude as Cyprus? Look at the tip of Morocco, and draw a straight line to the right and it will hit Cyprus.

Longitude is the up down lines from the poles.

 

[Omnis]

That would be a line of latitude. Longitude, as haith said, follows the prime meridian and goes from pole to pole.

 

[NissanSkylineN1]

But...

Longitude ( /ˈlɒndʒɨtjuːd/ or /ˈlɒŋɡɨtjuːd/),[1] is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east-west position of a point on the Earth's surface

Wait... its the POINT that goes east west.. not the line. Damn it! My bad.

 

[Wiegert]

That is the flag of the city founded by Enzo's Irish brother, Seamus Ferrari.

And he got no credit for his achievements.


But seriously, it's not a city flag. It's a territory that existed only during the 20th century.

 

[Submerged]

only in the 20th Century?

So it started in 1900 and finished in 1999?

All I can think of is Hong Kong, but I don't think that's right. Actually, it might be.

 

[Wiegert]

only in the 20th Century?

So it started in 1900 and finished in 1999?

No, it existed for a period of time from one point in the 20th century to another point. It lasted for just under 20 years.

And it's not Hong Kong either.

 

[Submerged]

Wasn't expecting it to be Hong Kong.

I'm wondering if it is related to the Berlin Wall, although I suspect it isn't. As the Berlin Wall lasted longer than 20 years if my history is correct.

 

[Barra333]

I was thinking more along the lines of something that came into existenec after WWI, then was dissolved at the advent of WWII. That is 20 years apart. Aside from that, I guess there were African nations declaring independence, then merging or breaking up.

 

[NissanSkylineN1]

Its gotta be African. The green represents an Isalmic state or a major population of Islam. The horse must mean that its had some European influence. Also, that orange probably helps show that its a pure African place, like where the people are all black and not Arabs, but fully African ( can't see any Arab country with Orange in it). I'm thinking that its probably somewhere near the middle of Africa.

 

[otakukid96]

Probably somewhere in southern Africa.
