[edit] Verify
The page from Flags of the World (FOTW) referenced in this article seems to be a discussion of theories with little consensus. Various sources don't agree on the symbolism of the horizontal bars, or even if there should be 5 or 7 of them. I have found no evidence of this flag containing a Nordic cross except at FOTW and its mirrors. Although this flag may not have official status, there should be some official source for the information about the flag. --Eddi (Talk) 23:09, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
- I agree Inge 23:22, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nordic Cross?
I disagree that this flag can be said to sport a Nordic Cross design. I does contain a cross, however. //Big Adamsky 12:21, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, this flag is difficult. According to the text on FOTW it is supposed to be a nordic cross. But when it is crammed into the triangle like that it really isn't anymore. I might have an idea on how to make it more correct.Inge 14:14, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Background
Could someone put this flag on a grey background maybe? I can't tell if it's got an unusual shape or if it's got white stripes on the edges. --Stlemur 14:43, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
