Wouldn't including Belgium also mean including about half of Europe plus Namibia and Brazil? Like Italy has South Tyrol, Denmark has North Schleswig, Poland has Opole and so on

German is an official language for all of Belgium, in Italy it seems to be only South Tyrol

~~Ahh, just Namibia then by that rule~~ I misunderstood Namibia's situation as "national language" meaning "official language". It doesn't, Namibia has an official language and it is English

Qualifies? In what way?

I'm unclear why the national flags chosen were chosen. Can you explain that?

[–] Hubi@feddit.org 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's German speaking countries or ones with German minorities.

That should have been obvious to me and I hate that I missed it.

Thanks!

The flags are the ones of the countries where German is an official language

Belgium has a German speaking population of 80k people

You're running out of areas in the logo to put flags though.

Better just to relocate the 80k into Germany.

Admit it, you are an Austrian, right? Always with the "get them back into Germany". But not this time!

No need to cruelly punish 80k people.
