everybody welcome back to flag / fan
Friday hope you like these st. kitts and
nevis episode anyway as you know this
department I talk about the small
mistakes we made in the episode or the
things that didn't quite make it into
the episode rowana I accidentally played
the intro twice it totally went over my
head I just I didn't even know I did
that Wow my mistake
Basset arrow was not exactly quite
spelled correctly in the political
animation also the word acceptable was
not spelled correctly I forgot to
mention that st. kitts and nevis is a
Commonwealth nation and Dominica is
actually the beginning of the Windward
Islands not the leeward islands one
thing I forgot to mention is Wingfield
estate they actually have the oldest rum
distillery in the entire Caribbean dates
back to 1681
and speaking of drinks I didn't really
elaborate too much on the killer bee
drink I actually had the pleasure of
meeting Gus from Gus on the go he's a
cool Danish Faroese guy that's trying to
go to every country in the world
anyway we tried the Killer Bee at Nevis
it is the one thing you have to try if
you go to Nevis island it was created by
rastaman Llewellyn sunshine Keynes he
refuses to give the exact recipe for the
drink but it's basically rum with
passion fruit juice and maybe some extra
stuff during the 18th and early 19th
century the sugar industry of st. Kitts
and Nevis almost actually surpassed that
of the United States even though there
are only about 36 square miles in area
and it's funny cuz you'll kind of see
that pattern a lot in like former
colonial areas I mean France pretty much
traded all of Quebec so that they could
keep Guadeloupe and Martinique traded
over half a million square miles for
less than a thousand and then Quebec is
like oh really okay okay oh thanks
France anyway time to move on to the
flag so without further adieu you it was
so fun filming this episode and
especially meeting you guys the
condition and me vision geography I
really hope you like your countries
episode is really fun having mini art in
the episode great to have Jason back
he's the guy that helped me launch this
entire channel anyway to the flag the
flag of st. kitts and nevis contains two
triangles of green and red divided by a
diagonal yellow edged black band
containing two stars in it the black
band in the middle stands for the black
people with african origins of the
country the yellow stripe represents the
sunshine of the island that they enjoy
almost year-round two stars represent
hope and liberty and many will also say
the islands themselves of course st.
Kitts and Nevis
the green triangle and the
her left side of the flag symbolizes the
country's fertile land forests and
agriculture and the red stands for we
haven't had one of those animations in a
long time thank you to our favorite
Irishman Potts for making that animation
now keep in mind prior to this the
country was a British colony for the
longest time they were under the British
Leeward Islands then for four short
years they're a part of the West Indies
Federation then finally just before
independence they were actually just a
territory with Anguilla known as st.
Christopher Davis and Anguilla had two
different flags and it was kind of
awkward because they knew their
independence was coming soon but
Anguilla was like guys I'm gonna stick
with the UK is it cool if I dip out on
this one and st. Kitts and Nevis was
like ah what Oh fine otherwise this
country could have had another Island
with it also keep in mind there was a
brief secessionist movement with Nevis
island they had a referendum in 1998 but
it didn't pass they needed like a
two-thirds majority rule but they got
really close it was like 62%
oh yeah that's about it anyway now the
coat of arms coat of arms of st. Kitts
and Nevis contains a shield in the
center with symbols at the bottom is a
sailboat referring to the seafaring
culture of the country above it is a red
Chevron with two Poinciana flowers the
national flower of the country above it
are three images depicting the major
sources of historical influence for the
country a fleur-de-lis representing the
French the head of a Carib native and a
rose representing the British above it
lies a helmet topped with battlements of
a tower and two torches being held by a
black and white hand symbolizing the
struggle and quest for freedom with a
diverse people and unified purpose on
the sides the shield is held up on one
side by sugar cane stalks and the other
a coconut palm tree the two most
cultivated products of the island and
two pelicans the national bird at the
very bottom lies the phrase country
above self and prior to there's all the
other coat of arms they used were on
their British territory flags but yes
since independence this has pretty much
been the only coat of arms they've ever
used all right so that's just about it
so now you know what time it is it's
