💡Did you know? The Danish flag is the oldest continuously used national flag. With possible uses as early as the 13th century, although it became popular as a national flag in the early 16th century. This flag is commonly known as the 'Dannebrog' or 'Danish cloth'. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FULL_ZVUcAA_vCB.png

@Mastani2110 Good catch! It's definitely worth noting that both the Swiss Cross and the Scottish Saltire are very old as well. Interesting stuff 📚

Let’s look to the kingdoms of the East! Vijayanagar in the 15th century was a great imperial power, doing as all great empires do: conquering and annexing its weaker neighbours, while developing its relationships with strong geopolitical players. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxjOflTagAErIm1.jpg

Historically, Vijayanagar would defeat its northern neighbour and perpetual rival, the Bahmani Sultanate, in the 16th century - before later falling itself in the mid 17th century. 🐘 Which is your favourite starting nation - Vijayanagar or Bahmanis? http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxjOxnpaMAElR7m.jpg
