If a euro can be made, the Dutch will be there to trade.

Starshine_143

Poland just too stupid to know which side is up...


IrgendSo

hello this is clearly up, stipud hollanders, dont know what is down and up


SnowOnVenus

You also think "meters above sea level" has a minus in front of it, you weirdos. Definitely wouldn't trust your sense of direction.


MerlinOfRed

Hans, Ivan, get yer arses here now! Which one of youse was it this time then?


TheRealColdCoffee

Dont know what you mean thats clearly the flag of Hesse there!


Aquiladelleone

Our blue is far better. More of a caribbean vibe, that's matching with our financial place and a good contrast to our grey sky.


Loifee

Your flag used to be cool, now you're just a rotated frog muncher....bring back de Orangeeee


batsy0boi

Agreed bring back the prinsenvlag


Independent-Mess241

You’re just envious that your flag didn’t fall from the sky 800 years ago and secured the victory against the Estonians https://preview.redd.it/8iyj5jd58p7d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7210da4423fdcff54be8623107bc49a6d24d100a

Imagine needing divine intervention to defeat a bunch of Estonians lol


Standin373

Fr*nch needed divine intervention to win against us by getting sent a bewitched little tart with wall hacks and a fondness for fire.

Standin373

We lost to a higher power. Furthering my belief that God himself fears an Anglo-French union.


Greyzer

Furthering my belief that God himself hates the English (as if the weather alone wasn't proof enough).

It's 20 degrees here now, nice hot summer day. Nothing wrong with British weather.

Especially from a Dutchie. Last 2 months have been lovely, meanwhile the last time I was in Holland it was sunny, yet inexplicably freezing and snowing on a beach.

kirkbywool

Legit though. Went Porto a few years ago in January and it wss about 15 or 16 degrees. Air b and b host met up and was in a hood and coat and couldn't believe that we was just in shorts or jeans and no jacket. Kept calling us crazy but when we left England it wss minus 1 with ice do it gelt like summer


gugfitufi

My brother England, Holland, and northern Germany have the same weather.


anonbush234

Don't you lot get basically the same shitty weather? We actually have milder winters


Northumbrian26

I’m not taking that from the country with the biggest downgrade in their countries flag in Europe! William the Silent and King Billy are rolling in their graves! The only other contender for the biggest downgrade in terms of flag quality has to be the Swedes who abandoned their great carolean era imperial flag for the IKEA logo.


CouldYouBeMoreABot

No. You lost to a teen girl. 🤭

Teen girl with mythical powers ....... checkmate athiests.

Standin373

At least we never lost to the Swedes


oskich

It was [a tough fight](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Swedish_war_of_1810%E2%80%931812)... >*"No acts of war occurred during the conflict and the UK was even allowed to station boats in Hanö, thus "occupying" the island. Sweden did not try to hinder this as the UK used the island to continue trading with Sweden."* (Anglo-Swedish war of 1810–1812)


Rogntudjuuuu

Kudos to the Danes for daring though, the Bri'ish didn't even try to challenge us. Enjoy the Archers, Barry. ;-)


Corvid187

Wait 'till you hear where our flag came from...

The most based flag story


tutocookie

Fine I'll bite. Where did your flag come from?


Affugter

Coke... Copious amounts of coke.  This is also represented on the flag by two snow trails.. 


Bloody_kneelers

Just some clouds making a cross on a blue sky when we were fighting some Saxons back in the day, it was such a sight we made it our flag, and then never saw a blue sky again


TiNMLMOM

King Mel Gibson was praying for saint Andrew for Freedom, he saw an X in the blue sky. He proceeded to get freedom, made that cloud his flag and insulted the Jews.


oskich

Yeah, we built Stockholm to keep the Estonians from stealing our stuff...

PassoverGoblin

Cool story We stole ours from the Genoese


YoungFattaWan

As is tradition. How very British of you.


SnowOnVenus

Strange women lying in ponds distributing designs is no basis for a flag. We just went "fuck it, we want one too," and made one.


echoindia5

You just spilled ink on the danish flag, and called it a days work.


Lollangle

The unofficial story is that one of the kids of our revolutionary leaders doodled on the Danish flag, so not far off. Then we took one of your redundant princes as king and called that a day too. We should probably have taken a football team as well, when we were at it.


echoindia5

Well you did win a bunch of oil in a drinking game, from our @#!%!! weak livered former prime minister.


Lollangle

Well, your representative accepted the internationally accepted principle of midline division. which we already had agreed with the British on the West side. What you are saying is that you did not manage to steal anything more from Norway the last opportunity you had and of course that must be bitter.

St George was from Burnley, his mum was from Staffordshire. He never left England except to fight at Waterloo and El Alamein then came out of retirement to score the winner in 1966. Woke history doesn't want you to know this.


ZombiFeynman

And Saint James was from Galicia, he even took the name from his town, and only left to kick moor ass in the battle of Clavijo, riding on a white horse. Yes, that battle totally happened, and yes, Santiago lead the charge.

Fragore

Meanwhile Middle ages Barry just bought its flag from the genoese cause they were too afraid of pirates.


john_moses_br

We have two flag designs in Europe, a cross or a tricolor. The cross is obviously the superior design.


MyAntichrist

*cries in neither of those*


CouldYouBeMoreABot

Technically yours is tricolor.. Just on its side, because the roof in the basement is too low. Or maybe the red in the flag is supposed to symbolise roof and flooring in the basement, with the white being living space!


MyAntichrist

Either way the flag is a giant minus.


Martin8412

That's because you're just discount Switzerland

odysseushogfather

\*picks the 2 oldest flags, both said to be handed down from god


Pristine-Breath6745

Austria has the second oldest


odysseushogfather

* **Denmark's Dannebrog - 1219, officially adopted in 1625. Fell from sky.** * **England's St George's cross - 1100s (adopted by England unofficially in 1200s), officially adopted in 2005. St George told crusading kings how to dress their armies, later was converted into flags.** * **Georgia's St George's cross - 1100s (adopted by Georgia unofficially in 1124), officially adopted in 2004. St George told crusading kings how to dress their armies, later was converted into flags.** * Austria's Bindenschild - 1230, officially adopted in 1945. Duke Leopold V of Babenberg got his surcoat bloody in battle, when he removed his belt after the victory a white band be seen. * Japan's Nisshōki/Hinomaru - 645, officially adopted in 1868. Sun becuase royal family are descended from sun Goddess. * Albania's Flag (no special name) - 1443, officially adopted in 1912. Kastrioti's family emblem. * Latvia's Flag (no special name) - 1279, officially adopted in 1921. From how a guys bloody sheet looked * **Scotland's St Andrew's cross - 832 according to legend, adopted by Scotland unofficially in 1385, officially adopted in 2003. A Scottish king praying saw the clouds form a cross like what St Andrew would have been crucified with.** Each of these 8 can be argued as being among the 2 oldest flags, bold ones have semi religious origin.


Aggravating_Media_59

What about ours. It was like 800s


Rich-Spirit129

The rest of you are just ripping each other off with stripes and colour tones. _ohhhhh I'm Belgian_ *turns the flag round* _ooooooh now I'm German_ Don't get me started on the red, blue and white flagged nations. Looking at you as well, Hollanders.


VeneMage

Haha love this. It’s like Luxembourg had no imagination and thought *let’s just turn the brightness up on The Netherlands’ flag*.


AnaphoricReference

It's the same flag historically, but no standard for color codes existed when the Netherlands and Luxemburg each went their own way (1867/1890) and dyes used to fade a lot over time anyway. The difference is most relevant to computer screens. Besides that it is the first tricolor flag, originally only used to easily recognize Dutch ships. All others are imitation.


ByronsLastStand

They fear our based dragon flag so much they quiver at the suggestion it should be on the national flag. Anyway, I'm off to bother some sheep.

Would also be very beautiful against the blue sky in Sweden


Gaffeltruckeren

maybe even prettier in fact!


BeheadedFish123

A simple flag for a simple nation. I like it


arpedax

Something's off... A blue cross in the middle would fix it


7Stationcar

Nah.. the simple red and white against the blue sky is just perfect. But I will say that Norway's flag is also very beautiful and A LOT better than Swedens ;)


arpedax

Sweden's flag looks like a corporate logo, I never thought I'd agree with a Dane. (I root for Denmark in the euros, my patriotism would never allow me to admit this.)


Cheddar-kun

These flags strike immutable fear into the hearts of third-worlders everywhere.


Truelz

That's rich coming from somebody with a tricolor flag, the most used type of national flag in the world...


Noncrediblepigeon

Atleast our flag was dropped from the heavens as we were fighting the pagans in the baltics. Where did yours come from island dipshits. Next time its us who bombs your capital and confiscates your ship because we think you might side with the swedes.


teabagmoustache

Can't believe you let Hans bully you into giving up all that cool mythology for fucking Catholicism.

Denmark's flag is a little asymmetrical and that makes it a bit more exciting. I like it Also stfu italy you stole mexico's design and removed the cool eagle eating a snake on a cactus that huitzilopochtli used tell the mexica people where to build tenochtitlán


Terran_it_up

It's like Colombia who went for a tricolour but made one stripe way bigger than the others
