Benin was always one of the sillier ones.
I think one of the pacific island countries has something really strange in my opinion, but I forgot which.

The Empire of Benin one reminded me of Virginia's flag:
If you didn't know Latin, you could also interpret it as "Obey or else". But it actually means "Thus always to tyrants". So it does make some sense. And apparently the same basic design has been in the flag since 1776, and the exact design since 1861, before the Civil War, so it's been around for a long time.

What is the last one?
Some Sicelian kingdom. I think the emblem is called the Triskele, which means "Tripartite" (but refers also to body parts).
