    Hey i saw a lot of confusion about my Island's flag (Sicily) so i hope i can clarify some stuff, so the terrifying monster in the middle is a gorgoneion, the monster of greek mythology wich is generally known as medusa, the thing has three legs because sicily is literally a triangle and there are wheat ears because we are famous for our wheat. the flag was first adopted after the rebellion against the french occupation during the "Vespri siciliani" in 1282. I personally like it and I'm very proud of it! As a Sicilian and a history boy.

    The thing with Wales not being in the Union Jack is because it had already unified with England when England and Scotland got into their union in the early 18th century that brought on the Union Jack. So it's basically a part of the English section of the flag (though I do kinda feel bad for Wales lol).

    When there was the subdivisions flag of Europe, a flag worth mentioning is the one right in the centre. It’s the Pardubice region of the Czech republic and it’s a horse cut in half. It’s tied to a medieval legend that the leader of that “region’s” army lead a raid in Milan and they tried to capture them within the city, but fortunately everybody managed to escape in time. Only the leader’s horse was cut in half by the city gate, so for its bravery the leader took the horse and showed him to the king (I guess the horse still lived) and the king was fascinated and so for the leader’s bravery he allowed him to make the horse the city flag

    One example is one of the singer “Luis Miguel” who in a album cover named “Mexico en la piel” had a Mexican flag with a sepia kind of color, so a file was open by the authorities, and it had to be modified.

      Celtic symbols with a strong Indo-European background being called "fidget spinners" is what triggers me a lot, that flag may have been created only during the 70s, but its meaning predates a lot of the stuff depicted in most flags shown here (not to mention that acting as if the Tricolore is devoid of meaning is just plain ignorant).

    As a Sicilian, I am forced to give an explanation to this strange flag... It represents the (trinacria). The head refers to the gorgonians, monsters of Greek mythology with golden wings and characteristic snakes in place of hair. The trinacria is the symbol that represents Sicily and therefore is represented in its official coat of arms; this association is due to the particular geographical configuration of the island, characterized by three headlands: Passero, Peloro and Lilibeo and three vertices that immediately refer to the triangle
