Korea consists of north and south and neither have the map of the nation on them and as for these obscure islands...fair enough i stand correct....3 silly islands in the world have their map on their flag.

Maybe with a few Armenian words thrown in here and there. :)

The map of Cyprus on the flag definitely makes it different then other flags and can be recognised and remembered easily. As a design though, it really looks like a yellow cat which has been run over by a car. I guess that would represent a true Cypriot. :)

And some Latin and Syriac, to add some more spice and to try and drown out the awful Turkish! :)
