Similar Flags
Except for its proportions, the flag of Monaco is identical to the flags of Indonesia and the German state of Hesse (both of which are longer). It is also similar to the flags of Singapore (which has a crescent and five stars in the top left), Poland and the German state of Thuringia (the order of the colours is reversed on the latter two). Monaco's flag is one of the world's oldest flags.

Famous quotes containing the words similar and/or flags:
“Take us generally as a people, we are neither lazy nor idle; and considering how little we have to excite or stimulate us, I am almost astonished that there are so many industrious and ambitious ones to be found; although I acknowledge, with extreme sorrow, that there are some who never were and never will be serviceable to society. And have you not a similar class among yourselves?”
—Maria Stewart (1803–1879)
“No doubt I shall go on writing, stumbling across tundras of unmeaning, planting words like bloody flags in my wake. Loose ends, things unrelated, shifts, nightmare journeys, cities arrived at and left, meetings, desertions, betrayals, all manner of unions, adulteries, triumphs, defeats ... these are the facts.”
—Alexander Trocchi (1925–1983)
