“Most Serene Republic”

on November 8, 2009 in Flagging Observations

By Atlas Al Most Serene Republic As I researched my last pair of blog posts, I thought to myself, who in their right mind would officially name themselves “The Most Serene Republic of San Marino?”  What’s going on over there?  Is it that serene and tranquil to name their country like that?  Hmm, I wonder [...]

The Most Exotic Flags

on November 6, 2009 in Flagging Observations

By Atlas Al Exotic Flags As a freshman in college, I learned about supply and demand and the law of scarcity in Economics 101.  The fewer there are of something, the more people want it.  And many times people will do anything to get it.  The same applies to highly sought after Exotic Flags:  sovereign states with very [...]

Mathematical Flagging

on November 5, 2009 in Flagging Observations

By Atlas Al Most Populated Countries in the World In theory, it’s easier to get the flag from a sovereign state with more citizens than from a sovereign state with fewer citizens.  For example, China makes up roughly 20% of the world’s population (i.e., one out of every five human beings is Chinese).  Sovereign states with smaller [...]

What Constitutes A Flag?

on October 22, 2009 in Flagging Vocabulary

By Atlas Al It’s been 48 hours since launching the site. Thank you for the kind and not-so-kind words. Some call me evil, lacking human dignity, and delete me from facebook. I say good riddance to those prudes who aren’t comfortable enough to talk about promiscuous sex. What I find funny is that many people [...]

African Wars (Part 2 of 2)

on October 20, 2009 in Flagosphere Warnings

By Atlas Al Things weren’t going well at the club. I pride myself on being able to speak to any person about anything, but this was unbearable.
