Flags and Trust



I've isolated the number of flags where trust should decline to be 7. If you see more than 7 flags of your country in a given speech, be wary!

    But what if they are of another country's, or multinational? What if there are 6 of each country? Or personal?

    It doesn't matter what country the flag is, as long as they are all the same. If it is a mix of flags and no 2 are the same, then the number is increased to 14.

    So 14 max? What about all the people in the UN?

    But but but but but . . . they're better than the League! (Then again, they DID let France stop everyone else from calling non-French made champagne 'champagne' . . . You win this round, tuberculosis. You win.)

FAQ

Q: What's all this then?
A: This is a webcomic dedicated to government and history. Think XKCD's art style meets American history.

Q: Is this just a ripoff of XKCD?
A: No, only the style of the drawings are a ripoff. The content is original, and the subject matter is one not covered by XKCD (at least not regularly).

Q: Who's Thomas Bailey? You?
A: No, not me. He's a renowned American historian. If you really care, try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_A._Bailey

Q: How often do you update.
A: Whenever I have an idea. I'll try to publish in regular intervals, but remember, an RSS feed is a great invention.

Q: I didn't get one of your jokes, what do I do?
A: Try googling the historical reference you missed. If it was an internet thing you didn't understand, check out http://knowyourmeme.com/ for a guide to the internet.
