Heh, I like it.
The flag of Nova Scotia was the first flag in the overseas Commonwealth to be authorized by Royal Charter. Derived from the ancient Arms granted in 1625 by King Charles I, it is a symbol of the crown in the right of the province. It is now flown on provincial buildings and on public and private flagstaffs throughout the province.
The original flag design is on a ground of silver with a Saltire Azure-blue St. Andrew's cross. The Royal Arms of Scotland is arranged as an escutcheon (within a shield shape) upon the St. Andrew's cross—gold with red lion rampant. The lion has a blue tongue and is within a double border of red. The border contains eight fleur-de-lis—one on each corner and one between each corner—each depicted top or bottom from each border starting with upper left corner up, next down, right corner up, etc., but not spanning across the borders. The breadth of the flag is three-quarters of the length.
