    Vexillology Volume IV:
    Flags haven't always been the thing that represents a nation, instead that honor goes to coats of arms. The study of these coats is known as heraldry, and it allows us to trace the colors on modern flags back to the tinctures on the middle age shields.

    As a Canadian, the modern Canada flag or the maple leaf as it is known locally, is pretty interesting when it comes to meanings in the flag. We tried to avoid an universal meaning on the flag largely due our diverse nature as a former settler colony. Officially, the only meaning in our flag comes from the maple leaf itself, a common tree and symbol of Canadian pride and strength.
    In other words, the flag as made mostly to satisfied Québec during the 60's.

    I love your art style, it reminds me of polandball’s early days.
    Also, Sussex Kent and Essex are the oldest county flags.
    Most of the British county flags are actually derivatives of their respective shields, as shown with the Heptarchy. I’m pretty sure Buckinghamshire is an exception with the coat of arms being a derivative of its banner(?) but i can’t confirm that.
    The flag of Newfoundland (in Newfoundland and Labrador) has a pink stripe.

    Fun fact: Argentinian Flag (maybe, nobody really knows, the most accepted theory is this one) comes from the cockade/rosette from the revolutionary army, that based from a christian religious order that was from Spain, inspired from the colors of Mary (the mother of Jesus, idk how its said on english) being them the Blue from the "coat" and white for purity. Then you have the Inca sun, that comes for the great influence that they left on the north eastern region of the country.
    I hope it helps a lil bit to clarify, cause the thing from the sea and the sky is just a primary school lie for the children.
