I read an article earlier about the protests in Georgia. I don't have the link as I write this note, but one thing I found interesting was a picture of the protesters who were all waving what I assume is their national flag. It is basically the St George flag, which is a white background with a red cross that seperates the background into 4 quadrants. On their version each quadrant has a small red cross in it. It's like some sort of St George flag fractal or something.
For those reading this that might not be aware, the St George flag is the national flag of England. We don't see it very often outside of some sports competitions, because typically we use the famous Great Britain flag. An interesting fact about that flag is that it's a layered composite of all the flags of the constituent nations of the Union, so it actually contains the St George's flag.
As far as I'm aware there isn't any connection between Georgia and England.
Anyway I though the whole flag similarity was pretty interesting, and I'm now wondering if there's some significance to it. #
