The Nordic flags share a distinctive design known as the Nordic Cross, a symbol that traces its origins to medieval Scandinavia and reflects the region’s shared cultural and historical heritage. First appearing on the Danish flag, the Dannebrog, this cross motif later spread across the Nordic world.

When your classmates ask to copy your homework, and you tell them to change it up just a bit so it’s not too suspicious…

Thanks for ruining the theming, Greenland.

If you’re going to randomly include non-Nordic countries’ territories, then your map is incomplete.
There are also two different flags for the danish Island of Bornholm, the first one (which i think is the main one) is basicly the danish flag but with dark green or green instead of White, the other one is basicly the norwegian flag but with Dark green or green instead of Blue

If you’re including West Riding, then you need to also include Greenland and the Isle of Man, even if they don’t match what you’re trying to do
Edited: grammar

There’s a whole lot more Nordic cross flags in Sweden in other provinces
Similar flags, similar economy, similar system, same wether….

Why does their flag have a Christian cross, despite being secular countries?

City of Calais also has a Nordic cross

Best to keep in mind that the flag of Scania is an inofficial, modern, one.
The actual official flag of Scania features a Griffon’s head.

I was hoping the West Riding of Yorkshire flag would be a Viking relic. It dates from 2013 (though it obviously is influenced by Yorkshire’s links to the vikings).

Just to give some examples from NL.
You should add härjedalen(sweden)

There is also the [flag of the Swedish-speaking Finns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_Swedish-speaking_Finns), that shares colors with the Scanian flag but has the same proportions as the Finnish one.
10/10 brand consistency

Karelia too?
And people say Europe is not Christian….
Germany you can change your flag now…
Logically, in these parts, one would avoid the color white so as not to blend into the landscape.
Åland (Finland)
We should add the Raven to make it more Metal.
Does St. Kilda have a Nordic flag as well?
(Please incorporate Greenland 🇬🇱)
I would say “Christian flags”
Whenever the North is mentioned, I am reminded of my Vikings
There should be a Sámi flag here as well
That isnt the west riding flag.
I want to propose a flag for “**Vendland**” tied to
1. historical Danish and Viking exploration of the Pomeranian coast
2. medieval Danish attempts to rule over Northeastern Germany
3. Tales of Jomsborg and Jomsborg-Vikings
4. In reference to the Danish title “[King of the Wends](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_the_Wends)”
5. Local calls for danish protection, such as from the [Linoni](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linones), or from [Jacza](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaxa_of_K%C3%B6penick) who gave his land to Pomerania (a danish vassal).
6. A symbol for cooperation between Poland, Germany and the Nordic countries
We’re so uncreative 🤦♀️
