Antarctica has a map of itself on its flag, but it is only a country in the most loose interpretation of the term possible.

Um. The Navajos have a map of historic Navajo territory on their flag.

The U.N. has a map of its supposed jurisdiction (the globe) on its flag.

Am I warm?

That was too easy all you had to do was look in the Almanac. This one you have to know. Who was called "the Grey Ghost of Gonzaga"?

 

[BoratSagdiyev]

That is easy one. Tony Canadeo. C'mon someone do tough one.

THE "ENCLAVED" GREEK-CYPRIOTS

As a consequence of the tragedy brought about by the first and second rounds of the Turkish invasion on 20 July and 15 August 1974, about 200,000 Greek Cypriots, who lived in the areas occupied by the Turkish troops, were compelled by force to leave their homes and properties and move to the free areas. They became refugees in their own land. However, despite the policy of terror implemented by Turkish troops, the hardships, oppressions, threats and acts of intimidation, about 12,300 people refused to leave their homes in the area occupied by the invaders and tried to keep their possessions - their land, their homes and their property. Since then, these people have been known as the "enclaved" and their plight has been one of the most tragic aspects of the Cyprus problem.

This poor guy was climbing up a flagpole to take down a flag when he was shot in the head with a high powered rifle by a Turkish soldier.
