And a whole heck of more Swedish regions. There's even more, but they're more fan-made. These at least have some use outside of just for fun, here

There's a funny story about Folkrepubliken Jämtland [The People's Republic of Jämtland]. More info is on wikipedia. Given that history it's one of the more recognizable regional flags in Sweden today.

What? I am Swedish and I have never seen that. I would know a fucking regional flag in Spain, India or the US better than that 🤦 Plus multiple within Sweden.

Haha, yeah -theres quite a lot of Swedish land that used to be Norwegian, but it's been about 400 years now, it's ok to let it go.

(Well, if they don't want to come back to us that is).

Ah, yes, it was - "Norwegian".. 😇

But I'm pleased you're content with the situation as it is, and you may keep Trondheim too btw. We wouldn't want to chop you in half.. 😉

Huh, I’ve been seeing the Hälsingland flag around Hornslandet and always wondered what it was. Though it was a combination of the Swedish and Norwegian flags or something, feel kinda stupid now haha.
