Yeah.... we "let" them in.

Huh, it's only just now that I realised that the pound sign looks like the island of Great Britain (more if you flip it horizontally)

So if the British flag is the Scottish flag and the English flag, why a different shade of blue?

The navy found that the sky blue washed out too quickly, so they began using a darker blue, and eventually that became standard.

Is this where the term "navy blue" comes from then?

So what's with the red X and the white cross in the UK's flag? Just thought it looked nicer than a red cross on a white X alone?

It's because of Ireland

It comes from the colour of the uniforms worn by British naval officers, but they wore that particular colour because it matched the Jack, so I guess it amounts to the same thing.

In theory, although there's scarce record of the St. Patrick's satire being used as an Irish symbol before 1800, so I'd say that the addition is partly aesthetic.

Also Wales is not on the flag because it was legally considered a part of England from the 16th century.

Which country was it in the "self-defense" one?

 

[SouthernKing]

The one with the machete? That's the Central African Republic.

Chad, Cape Verde, Comoros, Cameroon, and Congo are the dead countries

There will be only one country for 'Q'.

Unless you count Quebec, but they aren't a country.
