Vinland

2014

The flag for Vinnland, or more precisely "the people's technocratic republic of Vinnland" appears on the back of the three latest albums of the Goth-Rockgroup Type O Negative as well on numerous t-shirts. The flag is supposed to symbolize the republic of Vinnland situated in north America. Vinnland and it's flag are the brain child of the hulking black-haired front man of the band Type O Negative: Peter Steele. Steele incorporated his idea's of paganism, left/right wing political flirtations and his own heritage (his mother was part Icelandic) into a concept of a republic named after the first name the Vikings gave to north America: Vinland. The Vikings landed in Newfoundland around 1000 AD. and built a colony there. Steele takes this idea and tries to imagine what America would be like if the Vikings had actually stayed, and built a civilisation there. Based on that he designed a new flag in a Scandinavian cross pattern and gives it his favorite colours: green, black and white (which coincidently remind me of the German war cross). The concept of the people's technocratic republic only appears once in the song title "The glorious liberation of the people's technocratic republic of Vinnland by the combined forces of the united territories of Europa". In one of his interviews Steele says that he thinks the world would be better off if it were governed by scientists, hence technocratic. for more information see here

It is a historical fact, that vikings really got to what now is called Newfoundland, and probably to Labrador and perhaps even more to the south of the North American coast too. However, they did not call that land "Vinnland" but Vinland. It is thought that the name came from the presence of currants ("vinbÀr" in modern Swedish), not of a supposed presence of vine or grapes.

Finlandsvensk flagg

Det uofficielle finlandssvenske flagget. Det brukes i en del kretser i Finland for å representere det finlandssvenske og kan ses på mange flaggstenger i Finland i trakter der det bor finlandssvensker, spesielt på landsbygda. Flagget har andre proposjoner enn det nesten like skånske flagget.

Skånes officiella landskapsflagga

Två regionala flaggor
Skånes officiella landskapsflagga. Den används inte lika ofta som den skånska korsflaggan. Flaggan med griphuvudet är den officiella landskapsflaggan för landskapet Skåne. Denna utgör i likhet med andra landskapsflaggor i Sverige en så kallad vapenflagga. Det är en kvadratisk duk, som utgörs av Skånes landskapsvapen. Enligt statsheraldikern, som är ansvarig för regler när det gäller flaggning, bör den svenska flaggan och den skånska inofficiella flaggan med ett rödgult kors inte hissas bredvid varandra. Istället kan i officiella sammanhang den skånska gripenflaggan föras bredvid den svenska flaggan, som då skall inta den främsta platsen. Korsflaggan fick igen officiell status hösten 2017 efter beslut i regionfullmäktige.

Barra (Ytre Hebridene)

The flag of the Scottish island of Barra, in the Outer Hebrides archipelago, traditionally part of Inverness-shire, was registered on November 23rd 2017. The island had been flying its green flag, bearing a white Nordic style cross, for over a decade. Details regarding the provenance and significance of this design are sketchy but the island was part of the mediaeval Norse ‘Kingdom of the Isles‘ and the name of the isle itself is of part Norse origin; as with the prospective flag of South Uist, this historico-cultural linkage is reflected in the Scandinavian form of the flag.
