    Another fact about the Cocos (Keeling) Islands - in 1984 there was a referendum that decided the future of the island - whether the island should be integrated as an external territory of Australia or whether it should become a separate nation. The islanders decided to vote for integration as an external territory which leaves Cocos in the situation as it is now and finishes the final piece of that puzzle about the Cocos Islands.

    Australia actually has three internal territories, Jervis Bay Territory was given to the ACT so that it could have a port, but since 1989 has been it's own territory, although under the laws of the ACT. Just a technicality, but interesting nonetheless.

    Why don't they standardize the name from "Cocos (Keeling)" to "Cocos-Keeling", to me the '(Keeling)' always seemed like an alternative name rather than part of the name of the island; what I mean by that is "Cocos" is the primary name but it also goes by "Keeling" and that's sort of true if one looks at its history.

    • @435American
      @435American  7 лет назад +1

      The thumbnail is not all one flag, but rather three (Christmas Island, Norfolk Island, and the Cocos Keeling Islands). I just flipped them vertical to fit in a 16:9 ratio. I’d agree that they are rather ugly flags even when viewed individually, though.
