I find flags fascinating. They can be used by countries, cities, businesses, even individual people can have their own flags. Queen Elizabeth II has like ten.
One of my favourite flags is that of the Commonwealth of Dominica.
The flag of Dominica is the only country flag that has the colour purple on it (unless you count the rainbow on the flag of Nicaragua, but rainbows don't have purple in them), here representing the distinctive feathers of the Sisserou parrot native to the island, its national bird. The ten stars represent the ten parishes of Dominica.
