  • But I'm just going to say you know nick. He's my friend. He's a smart guy. I respect him and yes

  • He really is actually that exuberant and energetic and Jolly in real life. He's not putting on an act

  • That's actually him so no matter what thank you nick for being on the show on also very quickly in the episode we accidentally said

  • Eurozone, but we meant to say European union in demographics, and I misspelled Moyer but anyway today, we're going to talk about hungary swag

  • Before we jump in

  • I don't know if you guys noticed I changed up all the thumbnails for flag Friday the old ones are just tacky they look too

  • Let's move on the flag of hungary is a horizontal tricolour

  • Red white and green the flag was born out of the revolution of 1848 which was against the hapsburgs

  • And was deliberately made horizontal to avoid confusion with the flag of Italy the green represents

  • Hope and the land the white for freedom and faithfulness and the red stands for strength

  • and

  • Once again, thank you, Kan one of our favorite interns here for making that animation

  • You rock can keep in mind you also might find this

  • Alternate version of the flag with the coat of arms on it all over the country and keep in mind historically

  • They had a whole bunch of different types of flags at one point in time their flag was just red and then during the 1956

  • Revolution they used this flag which basically had a hole in the middle of it which used to have to close the coat of arms

  • As a way to kind of say get out soviets now the coat of arms at first glance

  • It looks pretty simple, but then you get a magnifying glass. You're like. Oh dang

  • There's a lot of stuff going on on that little crown thing the coat of arms was instated after Communist rule ended in

  • 1990 and is made up of a shield split into two parts the left featuring the arpad stripes for red and for silver representing the

  • Four main Rivers of the country the Danube the Tisa the drama and the Sava the right side contains a double cross on a red

  • base placed on a gold crown on top of three hills

  • Representing the three mountain ranges at top Tera Mastana and Fatahna now

  • we get to the

  • Incredibly detailed crown on top the crown is derived from the holy crown of Hungary also known as the crown of St.

  • Stephen which is a real crown that you can see on display in the hungarian parliament

  • building today the crown depicts precious stones and pearls on top of a golden frame with intricately carved patterns adorned with various

  • Images of angels possible's of Jesus and Jesus himself the interesting part though is the crooked cross there are many legends such as its supposedly

  • Symbolizing the tilt of the Earth's axis or someone on the royal staff dropping it accidentally while trying to store it away
