  • Everybody welcome back to flag fan Friday I

  • Bought a ukulele anyway. Hope you like the Liechtenstein episode now

  • There's the part where I usually make corrections or add things that I could have added to the episode for one

  • There are a few spelling errors. I misspelled baden votin burg. 2h, and lund tog. Yes, seriously of all the German words

  • this is the one I got wrong, but I somehow got fished and

  • Correct polysynthetic languages are too much for me

  • Oh speaking of which lane to fly a ticket to

  • homes off Gabby uber toggles Cosette's is not a German word anymore because they change their meat production laws watch the Germany episode if you

  • Don't know what I'm referring to also a few things

  • I could have mentioned but forgot to in the episode when it comes to the Olympics Liechtenstein is kind of known for like

  • Borrowing the athletes that didn't quite qualify in their home countries. It's kind of funny, but like everybody knows it

  • Oh, and also technically the whole renting the entire country thing is kind of half true half not true

  • I mean they have entertained the thought because they have gotten some offers, but to be honest

  • They really don't even need the money and so far nobody has

  • Actually ever rented out Lifan stein and there's probably two other things I could have mentioned

  • But I don't know if you know anything else about lickings time that I didn't mention just write in the comments all right off to

  • The flag so without further ado

  • Ah

  • I've been waiting for this episode for so long you got to love the little guy so wait the flag the flag consists of two

  • horizontal bands of blue and red

  • charged with a gold crown in the upper hoist or left corner the flag originally didn't even have a crown and was just blue and

  • red however during the

  • 1936 Olympics they realized that their flag was the exact same as Hades so the next year the crown was added to mark the fact

  • that the nation was a

  • Principality and also to make the distinction from Haiti

  • Who likewise followed with adding their coat of arms to their flag the crown in addition also symbolizes the unity of the people and their

  • prince the blue symbolizes the sky and the right stands for

  • The evening fires that were lit inside the houses of the country. Oh, that's like the sweetest cosy is simple for red

  • We've ever done. No blood this time folks. No blood. Sorry Ken no animation

  • I think it's also important to note that you might see the gold and red flag throughout the country which stands for the princely house

  • Or the royal family of Lytton Stein this was actually the very first flag of the country back in

  • 1719 then it changed to a vertical blue and red flag and then horizontal

  • and then the hey

  • Thing happened and then finally we have the one we have today and also all around the small country you might see these very long

  • Vertical band flags each of these stands for one of the eleven municipalities of mission Stein's they love organizing things

  • They're very efficient like that speaking of organized and efficient the coat-of-arms the coat-of-arms

  • Contains somewhat of a story on a shield in the first quadrant you find the arms of silesia

  • As well as the arms of the coon ring family the third being the arms of the Duchy of

  • chapel and the fourth the county of brightburg in Germany under everything is the arms of yeghern Dorf and finally the royal seal in the

  • Center of everything the entire shield is wrapped in a red roll mantel with fringes and gold

  • Tassels as the princely crown sits on top the reason why the coat of arms has a bunch of images of other coat of arms?

  • on it

  • Is to symbolize the region's and families that linkage time has been involved in throughout the centuries either by?

  • Conquest or marriage remember the episode we talked about all those palaces that they had a dispute over Czechia with yeah like that

  • Yeah, that's about it

  • I mean Lichtenstein is like a small country, but it has a very strongly held monarchy
