I would like to say from the beginning. Not every flag has any meaning either. We waited, hoped and searched for it to happen, but for some we could not find any results.
I don't think it's an archive error. Because even though there was no written document, the members of the nation under the flag would at least know.
Sometimes the flag creates the meaning, not the flag, so I see this lack of knowledge not as a real deficiency, but as the nature of the Human and I start writing.
