Questions
Why do Nordic flags look so similar?
They all follow the Danish flag, the oldest of the group. Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland kept the off-center cross and changed the colors.
Which Nordic flag has no cross?
Greenland. Its flag is red and white with a two-colored disc that suggests the sun over ice and sea.
