Monaco Exclusive Economic Zone Flag

Monaco like all nations with an international coastline has an Exclusive Economic Zone flag.  The flag is based upon the variant flag of Monaco but has EEZ colours of black and green substituted.  It maintains the white version diamonds of Monaco's flag.

Monaco Contiguous Zone Flag

Like all nations with an international coastline, Monaco is entitled to a Contiguous Zone.  Subsequently the Contiguous Zone flag is needed as well.  The Contiguous Zone is an international zone and partially under the rule of a particular nation.  In this case Monaco's security forces and coast guard reign supreme, yet it considered international waters.

This flag is based upon the variant flag of Monaco.  Monaco's primary flag is a match for the flag of Indonesia, and secondly like Singapore.  Monaco is the Singapore of the West, or rather Singapore is the Monaco of the East?  Finally Monaco's flag is also an upside down version of Poland, or rather Poland is an upside down flag of Monaco?

Braille Letter Z Flag, Zebra

The Braille flag for the letter Z is orange and blue.  The colours represent the number 25.  However Z is the 26th letter in the alphabet.  This is because the letter W was shifted to position 40, consequently Z gets a one spot upgrade to position 25 instead of its natural position of 26.  By fateful coincidence, as the capital Z and N which are the same shapes at different orientations, the BRL dots coded to Z and N are in the same dot pattern coded at different orientations.

Braille Letter Y Flag, Yankee

The Braille Letter Y Flag is represented by the colours orange and green, which are coded to 24.  Y is normally coded to 25, but since W was sifted to position 40, Y is upgraded to position 24. 

Braille Letter X Flag, X-Ray

The Braille Letter X flag uses the colours orange and yellow.  Together these colours represent the number 23, but X is the 24th letter of the alphabet.  But this is how the Braille alphabet flows since W was shifted to position 40.

Braille Letter W Flag, Wiskey

The Braille flag for W is a little different.  The colours code for position 40, since green in 4 and white is 0.  Normally W is the 23rd letter in the alphabet, but since Braille was created by the French, Mr. Braille, it was added later after it was widely adopted and spread the English speaking world.  Another neat fact is that it is of the few brl symbols to resemble one of the famous Tetris pieces. 

Braille Letter V Flag, Victor

The Morse code for V has four elements, 3 dits and one dah.  Likewise the Braille letter for V has for elements: three in a line and one by itself.  Since V is the 22 second letter of the alphabet it gets two oranges that unite to make a whole orange flag.  Remember 2 is coded to the colour orange since orange is dominantly recognized as the 2nd colour of the rainbow/spectrum.  Ironically the Braille V erroneously spells out the letter L, and L is usually associated with the a loss or loser.
