[edit] Sun not common?
I removed the sentence about the sun being "relatively unusual". The following countries have suns on their national flags:
- Antigua and Barbuda
- Argentina
- Bangladesh
- Japan
- Kazakhstan
- Kiribati
- Kyrgyzstan
- Namibia
- Niger
- Philippines
- Taiwan
- Uruguay
That's 12 out of 192 UN member nations. (OK, Taiwan isn't a member, bug you get the idea.) I don't think 6.25% is unusual. What device besides stars, moons, and crosses are more common? DavidMann 20:30, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- By moons your mean crescents, but I agree. -b 07:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- I mean crescent moons and full moons. The flag of Palau has a full moon. It's yellow on a light blue background, which sounds like the sun instead of the moon, but it is a moon. DavidMann 03:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Other Flags with similarities with the Old Rwanda flag
I've read in one book that the Rwandans put the big R on the middle of the old flag because they realized that their flag is a mirror image of the Mali flag. I'm now confused, because the Guinea flag looked more similar to the old rwandan flag. Leoisiah 14:33, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
