Could there possibly be a reference to New Zealand’s laser kiwi flag? [[Special:Contributions/2A02:6B6F:E226:B00:2D7E:D360:EEA6:2104|2A02:6B6F:E226:B00:2D7E:D360:EEA6:2104]] 22:01, 25 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

Oooh, I like a good Flag comic. Not been one for a while, and I used to use one of them as my xkcd fora avatar. [[Special:Contributions/81.179.199.253|81.179.199.253]] 22:09, 25 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The inner flag doesn't have its own inner flag... [[User:AoPS is superior|AoPS is superior]] ([[User talk:AoPS is superior|talk]]) 22:43, 25 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:Which suggests to me is that ''this'' flag is of one nation/entity that incorporates the national flag of another nation (often done... see Hawaii's flag). It only says &amp;quot;National flag&amp;quot; (which, as it happens, has many identical features, just not all), rather than &amp;quot;''this''' nation's national flag&amp;quot;, so it needn's necessarily be &amp;quot;The People's Republic of Drosteland&amp;quot; being totally self-referential through infinite recursion. [[Special:Contributions/81.179.199.253|81.179.199.253]] 23:38, 25 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Isn't the &amp;quot;tribute to topology&amp;quot; a half-turn to make the flag one-sided (Möbius strip)? [[Special:Contributions/130.216.50.126|130.216.50.126]] 00:54, 26 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wifi transmitter? it looks liek the contactless icon for cards so i was thinking it'd at least work in that NFC-adjacent way, which needs no power source. [[Special:Contributions/193.61.208.1|193.61.208.1]] 00:56, 26 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The state flags of Costa Rica, Colombia, and Haiti, and the national flags of El Salvador and Ecuador have themselves on the flag, via the state seals [[Special:Contributions/104.58.95.236|104.58.95.236]] 01:27, 26 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the customize option doesn't refer to customizing the flag itself, but customizing privacy options for the data it collects. It is similar to the options shown on a website when it asks about using cookies. [[User:An architect|An Architect]] ([[User talk:An architect|talk]]) 02:24, 26 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is 'beige background' a reference to the 'color of the universe' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_latte ? That struck me especially given the mention of stars [[Special:Contributions/202.80.150.54|202.80.150.54]] 02:56, 26 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why is one of the little tear off tabs missing the full phone number? [[Special:Contributions/2401:D005:D402:7A00:A657:9BBB:CD:EF55|2401:D005:D402:7A00:A657:9BBB:CD:EF55]] 03:57, 26 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Customize&amp;quot; does not mean &amp;quot;changing the colour/design of the flag&amp;quot;. It is one of the two most common buttons in GDPR (supposedly-) compliant cookie warnings, which allows you to access a very long list of uses to manually give consent to, as well as a link to access a very long list of data vendors to also tweak who you do not mind getting your data. --[[Special:Contributions/94.73.49.13|94.73.49.13]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Could the rounded corners be a reference to this? https://www.androidpolice.com/2012/05/04/the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-the-first-smartphone-designed-entirely-by-lawyers/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Can anyone add an explaination of &amp;quot;Every place has a local cryptid&amp;quot;? --[[Special:Contributions/85.159.196.177|85.159.196.177]] 10:49, 26 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The flag of Ukraine has its own in there infinite times in infinite locations and sizes along the centre line {{unsigned ip|115.70.50.83|10:51, 26 May 2026 (UTC)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the Chromaticity Diagram is meant to render the flag impossible to make. Any pigment used to produce the flag will occupy a point on the diagram, and only points within a polygon defined by those pigments' vertexes could be accurately reproduced by mixing. So the edges would be approximations of the representative colors, making the diagram not &amp;quot;true.&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
