Question:
Is it possible to order original flags made of textile fabric?
Answer: www.flaggenlexikon.de recommends over the Button
"Flaggenprodukte" and over some flag depictions a proper palette of flag
articles (also flag made of textile), and helps in contacting the
manufacturers. But over www.flaggenlexikon.de itself goes no sale. These
recommending pages are written only in German. It is better to use the
e-shops in your homeland.
Question:
Is it possible to purchase the Flaggenlexikon in some format?
Answer: No
Question:
How real are the illustrations of the historical flags?
Answer: In principle they are real, but one must take into
consideration, that laws for uniformity in flag design were passed only for
the first time in the 19th century, when it was possible to fabricate flags
through mechanical means and in large quantities. Due to this the flags of
the earlier centuries are different in their details.
Question:
Why is it, that there are pages within flaggenlexikon.de where only flags
are placed without explanations?
Answer: Flaggenlexikon.de is still under construction.
Question:
How many countries actually exist?
Answer:
The answer ist not so simple because first of it all is the question: What
is a country? An independent state? Or is also a dependent territory a
country (e.g. French-Guyana)? Is now to ask better: How many states actually
exist? But what is a state? Is it the best way to count the in the UNO
present states? What is about states which really exist but are not members
in the UNO e.g. South Korea? The first thing is to limit! The best way is to
take the number of the in the UNO present states. This will result a
passably credible number. In 2005 this were 191 states. Now add that number
states which are not members in the UNO but valid as recognized: Vatican
City, North Korea, South Korea and Taiwan (Republic of China). This results
a number of 195 states.
Now you have to think about the following fact: There are a lot of in
reality existing states which are internationally not or only partially
recognized, e.g. Kosovo, furthermore is fully open the status of countries
like Anjouan, Bougainville, Somaliland or Puntland. Furthermore there is at
least one state which is partially recognized but actually not exists:
Republic of Sahara. |
