Everybody welcome back to flag fan Friday I
Bought a ukulele anyway. Hope you like the Liechtenstein episode now
There's the part where I usually make corrections or add things that I could have added to the episode for one
There are a few spelling errors. I misspelled baden votin burg. 2h, and lund tog. Yes, seriously of all the German words
this is the one I got wrong, but I somehow got fished and
Correct polysynthetic languages are too much for me
Oh speaking of which lane to fly a ticket to
homes off Gabby uber toggles Cosette's is not a German word anymore because they change their meat production laws watch the Germany episode if you
Don't know what I'm referring to also a few things
I could have mentioned but forgot to in the episode when it comes to the Olympics Liechtenstein is kind of known for like
Borrowing the athletes that didn't quite qualify in their home countries. It's kind of funny, but like everybody knows it
Oh, and also technically the whole renting the entire country thing is kind of half true half not true
I mean they have entertained the thought because they have gotten some offers, but to be honest
They really don't even need the money and so far nobody has
Actually ever rented out Lifan stein and there's probably two other things I could have mentioned
But I don't know if you know anything else about lickings time that I didn't mention just write in the comments all right off to
The flag so without further ado
Ah
I've been waiting for this episode for so long you got to love the little guy so wait the flag the flag consists of two
horizontal bands of blue and red
charged with a gold crown in the upper hoist or left corner the flag originally didn't even have a crown and was just blue and
red however during the
1936 Olympics they realized that their flag was the exact same as Hades so the next year the crown was added to mark the fact
that the nation was a
Principality and also to make the distinction from Haiti
Who likewise followed with adding their coat of arms to their flag the crown in addition also symbolizes the unity of the people and their
prince the blue symbolizes the sky and the right stands for
The evening fires that were lit inside the houses of the country. Oh, that's like the sweetest cosy is simple for red
We've ever done. No blood this time folks. No blood. Sorry Ken no animation
I think it's also important to note that you might see the gold and red flag throughout the country which stands for the princely house
Or the royal family of Lytton Stein this was actually the very first flag of the country back in
1719 then it changed to a vertical blue and red flag and then horizontal
and then the hey
Thing happened and then finally we have the one we have today and also all around the small country you might see these very long
Vertical band flags each of these stands for one of the eleven municipalities of mission Stein's they love organizing things
They're very efficient like that speaking of organized and efficient the coat-of-arms the coat-of-arms
Contains somewhat of a story on a shield in the first quadrant you find the arms of silesia
As well as the arms of the coon ring family the third being the arms of the Duchy of
chapel and the fourth the county of brightburg in Germany under everything is the arms of yeghern Dorf and finally the royal seal in the
Center of everything the entire shield is wrapped in a red roll mantel with fringes and gold
Tassels as the princely crown sits on top the reason why the coat of arms has a bunch of images of other coat of arms?
on it
Is to symbolize the region's and families that linkage time has been involved in throughout the centuries either by?
Conquest or marriage remember the episode we talked about all those palaces that they had a dispute over Czechia with yeah like that
Yeah, that's about it
I mean Lichtenstein is like a small country, but it has a very strongly held monarchy
And they have no problem letting you know that they have roots in this small plot of land
And they are very proud of it all right, so that's about it
