The flag is ment to be simple so in times of war and distress a commander or officer could rally up and increase moral of the troops when seeing the flag.
The simpler, the better because it would be easier to make

Because they didn't have modern day conveniences and had to work hard to survive. They did not have the spare time to both design and sow complicated flags.

I'm sure this flag attracted a few Polaks.

I'm actually from Scotland, but my great grandfather, great grandmother and grandfather were Polish. They're all unfortunately dead and I've missed out on learning a bit more about my heritage. Anyone have any good documentaries, articles, etc. on Poland in the past 50 years?

Also does anyone know what pic related is?

Thanks.

>>76278320
Well, I don't know if it technically counts as a state or a country or a principality or whatever. The technical subdivisions in that part of the world seem almost too intricate. But I figure everybody agrees that "Scotland" and "England" are two different things, so "Wales" must be something similar unto itself, even if it's very rarely talked about.

I don't take offense. I don't think our flag is all that pretty, although it's nice that the design has meaning and that's it's easily recognized.

I actually think Canada's flag is remarkable because it somehow manages to make a fucking leaf look a bit classy. It's also appropriately goofy for those goofballs.
