Why are state flags displayed on buildings? A flag represents a certain social community, and for that community, it becomes a symbol and a value. The flag of Norway is a red field with a dark blue Scandinavian cross on a white background. However, according to a decree by the Danish king in 1748, the «Norwegian lion» was replaced by the Danish flag, the Dannebrog. Until 1814, Norway, in union with Denmark, used the Dannebrog. The modern version of the Norwegian flag was designed in 1821 by a parliamentarian from Bergen, Frederik Meltzer, whose son, while playing, colored the Danish flag image with a blue pencil. Which country’s flag has a cross?

1. Gabon
