Everybody, welcome back to flag fan Friday. Hope you like the Nauru episode...
-
So, as you know, this is the part that I kinda talk about the things that didn't quite make it into the video.
-
For one, I said that Nauru was the only country without an official capital...
-
Technically, that's half true half kind of not true.
-
Switzerland does have a de facto capital Bern. Although it's not completely official but its de facto status
-
So it's kind of some people say it is but it's more of like a half capital - ish thing going on
-
But if you really want to be technical kind of yes is the Nauru only country but maybe Switzerland as well
-
It depends on how you look at it. Second of all, I forgot to talk about religion
-
The majority of people on Nauru are Christian about two-thirds of which are Protestant the largest denomination being the Nauru
-
Congressional Church, and you have Catholics Assemblies of God and about 10% still practice the original indigenous Nauruan religion.
-
[Barby hilariously slaughters the word a few times]
-
Forgot to talk about the traditional weaving pattern, I think Kokosfasern
-
I also forgot to mention that, out of the 12 tribes, only 10 still exist today two of them actually died out. And finally
-
The controversial topic of the detention centers. I forgot to mention that yes, there were a lot of protests,
-
it's a source of lots of controversy in both
-
Australia and Nauru and the world. A lot of people thought that the conditions there were not deemed as
-
acceptable as they could have been. People in the detention centres have also been known to protest as well; and it's just kind of like
-
A very tricky situation to deal with there's probably a few other things that I could have talked about
-
But if you want to say it just put it in the comments.
-
Otherwise, we got to move on time to go to the flag. So without further ado....
-
[Geography Now Flag/Fan Friday theme plays]
-
Nauru? Nauru. Crazy how it's just like the least visited country in the world...
-
Let me know if you've been to Nauru. I mean, yeah, not many people been there.
-
[stutters] You-you're one of the rare lucky few. But anyway, let's go on to the flag. Adopted shortly after independence,
-
The flag is essentially a map depicting the location of the actual island the blue, of course, representing the Pacific Ocean,
-
whereas the yellow line symbolises the Equator. The star
-
, of course, stands for the country of Nauru being situated just below the equator
-
The star is white to represent phosphate, the primary resource that they are known for, and the twelve points on the star
-
symbolise the twelve historic tribes of Nauru. Now, of course, prior to this flag, they had quite a few others. Throughout history before independence
-
They were under this weird like trusteeship between Australia and the UK both countries kind of had like authority over them
-
I guess...? Prior to that, for one year, there under Japan, then there were a British mandate and, prior to that,
-
it was the German Empire
-
Yeah...
-
Germany took a stab at this place. And prior to that there were pretty much no other national flags and they do have a coat
-
Of arms the image depicts a traditional shield with a woven background (divided into three parts) and the top upper part is an alchemical
-
symbol of phosphorus;and on the bottom left, a Frigate bird perched over an ocean with waves
-
Alluding to the tradition of trained frigate bird fishing in the bottom
-
Right, you have a branch of Calophyllum flowers native to the island.
-
the shield is surrounded by ceremonial tribal chief gear containing ropes, feathers, shark teeth and
-
palms. On the top, lies the 12- tribe star, just like on the flag, above it a banner reading "Naoero"
-
, the Micronesian name for Nauru, and at the bottom ,in English , reading "God's will first"
-
Yeah, that frigate bird training thing is really interesting. It's kinda like those fishers in South China
-
that use the (what are those birds?), like, the cormorants. Two people groups across the world ,thousands of miles away, they have the same idea...
-
what a world we live in!
-
So yeah, that's the only coat of arms they had, so we don't really have to talk about anything else in the meantime
-
You know what time it is... Geogra-Fanmail Time! Ah! [plays instrument]
