Hey everybody, welcome back to flag slash fan Friday. Hope you like the Marshall Islands episode. This is my new office. It's awesome, right?
It's uh, it's still in the works. I need to get two doors
These don't even have doors yet. One quick announcement because you guys suggested it for the school year
We now have kid-sized geography now t-shirts
You can get them now at geographynow.com anyway, as you guys know, this is the part where I kind of correct mistakes
I made in the video or I talk about stuff that I didn't get to talk about in the video for one
I accidentally said former president in Narendra Modi of India. He is actually the current Prime Minister
I don't know why I think maybe I meant to say former president, Kessai Note
was an ambassador to India, but it got messed up in the script
I have no idea why it was a mistake second of all, I got the wrong picture of Anne Marie Hepler and funny story
She actually saw the video and contacted me and she sent me the correct picture
Which is this third of all, I got the wrong picture of John Marshall
This is actually American Supreme Court Justice John Marshall from a long time ago
Uh, yeah, I couldn't find a picture but this is not him. So yeah a few things I wanted to mention
I didn't really get to talk too much about how the former president of the Marshall Islands almost always used to be Chiefs
I think as I know today was the first comma and he kind of broke that tradition also one controversy. Is that the u.s
Did kind of compensate the people who left the Bikini Atoll
But the payments haven't been completed yet and it's been going on ever since the bombing
There's of course a few other things I could have mentioned
But we don't really have too much time if you know of anything write in the comments in the meantime
We're gonna get the flag done. So without further ado you
Marshall Islands, it's good to be back in Oceania. Let's just jump into the flag
It's like it's a blue banner with to rising diagonal bands
Extending from the lower left to the upper right the flag kind of symbolizes the location of the country in the ocean the two bands
Supplies in the equator as well as the rock and rocky island chains
They also symbolize peace and courage the star above stands for the northern hemisphere as well as the twenty-four points of the star
Symbolizing the twenty-four electorial districts of the country with the four elongated points representing the cultural centres module
Jala wheat would J and FAA. Keep in mind, of course prior to this. They're under the US jurisdiction
So they're kind of under the former u.s. Flags prior to all that
They're under the American Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands and a prior to all that from 1879 to
1894 they're under Germany under the German New Guinea company and after the whole German stuff the Japanese came in and of course
They're kind of technically under the Japanese Imperial flag. Yeah. Yeah. I got it
Anyway coat of arms, which is not a coat of arms
It's a seal the image depicts an angel with outstretched wings with the same diagonal bands and star pattern found on the flag above it
Above the wings are a giant clam and a fishing net to the bottom left and at toll with palm trees to the bottom
right and
Outrigger Canoe on the bottom is a traditional nautical chart all surrounded by a ring of chains and at the bottom of the motto
Japan feeling K at UConn meaning accomplishment through joint effort and that is pretty much the only
Seal that they've had and nothing product. That's pretty simple. And so yeah, we're done. You know what that means
