Hmm. I didn't know New England had its own flag. Good to know.

Kinda bland, though.

The flag of the state of Arizona in the United States of America.

The state of New Jersey, where I grew up:

The state of Pennsylvania, where I live now:

The city of Philadelphia, formal version, flown over City Hall:

Less formal version of the Philadelphia flag, flown everywhere else (most visibly over the Art Museum, at the top of the Rocky steps). These are the proper colors--the blue stripes are much lighter in real life than they are in the previous illustration, but I couldn't find any others with the seal.

Isn't that a confederate battle flag rather than a national flag?

EDIT: Here's Florida, and yes, those red stripes are what you think it stands for.

That is the national flag of the CSA. The battle flag is the more common one.

Here's the ugly piece of shit that we use as our state flag right now.

You all know what the Confederate flag we adopted in 1956 looks like, so I won't post it.

Here's the flag we're considering adopting right now (although in the worst case, we may go back to the 1956 flag, but I doubt that one will win in referendum). Always safe to tell the atheists to fuck off.

And here is the original state flag, that was adopted after the Civil War. Shouldn't have been changed in the first place.

The red diagonals represent England? Red diagonals on a white field are the Cross of St George.

You mean the Cross of St. Patrick. Ireland.

Has the European Union community lost all sense of national pride? I mean, everyone is always putting the EU flag above their national flag. Isn't it supposed to go the other way around.

The Old Glory

West Virginia State Flag: Argent, a Mountaineer and Farmer natural leaning on a rock engraven with 1863, with mining cart and shelf of wheat to either side and a pythan(?) hat below, surrounded by a border azure.

No, I couldn't find a nice picture to add to here, so I gave it as (mock)Heraldry.

Just like you also put the U.S flag above your own state.

I, like many others, am proud of the E.U, of the dreams it entails, of the greatness to which it can arise.

I will fight everyday for the ideals behind the European Union.

I would venture that they do have national pride, but it's something closer to pride in your state like we have here. I think two hundred million people surrendering their national identities to a bureaucratic hatfuck like what's going on in Brussels is creepy too, but my country hasn't been wrecked in two consecutive world wars.

Actually, we are 380 million, soon too be many more.

And Continental level federations are not built in a day. Give us time

We don't have borders and the united currency has become a huge success. Countries like Portugal, Greece and Ireland are now stable, rich nations, when 30 years ago we still had famine and college education was considered a luxury only available to a few.

I am very patriotic person who loves his country. I consider myself first and foremost a Finn. However, at the same time I want to live in a united Europe that stands strong. I fully agree with everything that Olrik said.

"I think two hundred million people surrendering their national identities to a bureaucratic hatfuck like what's going on in Brussels is creepy too, but my country hasn't been wrecked in two consecutive world wars."

Well, I see this differently. Even though I am a supporter of strong EU, it does not mean "surrendering my national identity" to EU.

You're not quite surrendering your identity--you're still a Finn the same way I'm a New Jerseyan. But you are giving up your sovereignty. I think this is one of those cultural difference things between Europeans and Americans; so much of our national identity is tied up in the idea that we fought a long, hard war for our independence and that America is a place where nobody can tell you what to do that we sorta shudder at the thought of being governed by people from other countries. Europeans don't have those same hang-ups, and like I said, having your entire continent wrecked twice in one century can make you regard nationalism with less enthuasism than we do.

That flag is also called the Bunker Hill flag. It was New Hampshire forces lead by John Stark who raised this flag over Bunker Hill in 1775. This flag is last variation of the New England flag as it omits the Englisg St. George's cross.
