    I agree. It seems instead for now they have gone with giving official recognition to both. The red lion I guess is a symbol that is very important to them as well.

    A country I visited over christmas just before it all went to * with the pandemic the following March was Belize. They kicked the Brits out to get independence in the early 1980's so I got on real well with locals!

    That top one is an eyesore

    The only other Irish flag I view as acceptable is the old one with the golden harp with a green background

    That has become iconic but Countess Markievicz made it on the fly the morning of the Rising when she realized that she didn't have a tricolor

    The gold is actually mustard

    I find the Sicily flag a bit odd myself, but it's different at least.
