	Flag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first flags were used to assist military coordination on battlefields, and flags have evolved into a general tool for rudimentary signalling and identification, especially in environments where communication is similarly challenging (such as the maritime environment where semaphore is used).
		Flags are used in messaging or advertising, or for decorative purposes, though at this less formal end the distinction between a flag and a simple cloth banner is blurred.
		The flag of Cuba is similar to the Irian Jaya flag.

	Flag of Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When the Nazis came to power in 1933 the fl-red-gold flag was entirely removed and replaced with the fl-white-red, though they would eventually, on September 15, 1935, replace virtually all German governmental flags with designs based on the swastika flag that had been their party flag.
		The German Democratic Republic (East Germany) had initially used the same flag, but on October 1, 1959 it introduced a communist emblem to the centre of the flag: a hammer (symbolizing the workers), and a pair of compasses (symbolizing the intellectuals) inside ears of grain (symbolizing the farmers).
		The national flag is further used as state flag by the highest federal authorities (Bundestag, Bundesrat, Bundesversammlung, Chancellery, Constitutional Court) to show their connection to the German people.

	Åland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Åland Islands, or Landskapet Åland in Swedish (Åland pronounced /'ɔː.læn/or /'ɔː.lænd/ in English), or Ahvenanmaan maakunta/Ahvenanmaa (literally Perch's Island) in Finnish are an archipelago at the entrance of the Gulf of Bothnia in the Baltic Sea.

		The Åland Islands are guaranteed representation in the Finnish parliament, and elect one representative.

		This flag (circa 1643 to October 31, 1790) was a simplified version of the French state flag and ensign that bore the entire arms of France on the field of fleurs-de-lys.
		This flag was the Confederate naval jack as it appeared after May 26, 1863, and was similar to the battle flag issued to the Army of Tennessee in 1864.

	Royal Union Flag
		However, tolerance of the use of a flag is not equivalent to enshrining it as the national flag.
		The present Union Flag not only represents a political union of three kingdoms, that of England, Scotland and (Northern) Ireland, it is itself a union of the three flags which separately serve to represent those kingdoms: the crosses of Saints George, Andrew, and Patrick.
		A flag that lacks a legal basis is vulnerable to the caprice of fashion: Just as the Union Flag rose with the ascendancy of imperialism at the beginning of the twentieth century, it sank with the resurgence of nationalism in mid-century.

		Although the British flag underwent a number of changes in the 17th century, the St. George's Cross continued as the official national flag.
		Although the post was abandoned in 1727, the Union flag probably flew at the fort.
		The current national flag of Great Britain did not come into existence until 1801, so throughout Georgia's existence as a colony, the official land flag would have been the 1707 flag.

	Maine (U.S.)
		Note that the military flag was modified in 1954 by the deletion of the top scroll and a change in the wording on the bottom scroll to "Maine National Guard." In addition, the governor, as Commander- in-Chief uses a 3'x 5' indoor State of Maine with fringe, on a staff as his rank flag.
		Typically, the Flag as commonly used is 3 by 5 feet or 2 by 3 feet in size, screen printed nylon with the common version of the arms in the center.
		Thus, it seems to me that what is shown on the Maine flag in actual use is in fact a legitimate representation of the coat of arms of Maine as prescribed by law and that therefore the supposed distinction between the "official flag" and the "common use flag" is spurious.
