what do the five stars on the australian flag stand for?
federation
while some similarities are coincidental, others are rooted in shared histories. for example, the flags of colombia, of ecuador, and of venezuela all use variants of the flag of gran colombia, the country they composed upon their independence from spain, created by the venezuelan independence hero francisco de miranda; and the flags of kuwait, of jordan, and of palestine are all highly similar variants of the flag of the arab revolt of 1916–1918. the flags of romania and moldova are virtually the same, because of the common history and heritage. moldova adopted the romanian flag during the declaration of independence from the ussr in 1991 (and was used in various demonstrations and revolts by the population) and later the moldovan coat of arms (which is part of the romanian coat of arms) was placed in the centre of the flag. the nordic countries all use the nordic cross design (iceland, denmark, norway, sweden, finland, in addition to the autonomous regions of the faroe islands and åland), a horizontal cross shifted to the left on a single-coloured background. the united states and united kingdom both have red, white, and blue. this similarity is due to the fact that the first 13 states of the u.s. were formerly colonies of the united kingdom. also, australia and new zealand have very similar flags, which stems from their joint british heritage. both of these flags feature the union jack in one corner, both have royal blue background, and both have the southern cross as a prominent feature. the only differences between these flags is that the australian flag has the commonwealth star below the canton, and that on the new zealand flag, just four stars in the southern cross are presented, and they are five-pointed red stars with white borders. on the other hand, all five stars of the southern cross are presented on the australian flag, and they are white with seven points, except for the additional smaller fifth star in the southern cross which has only five points on this flag. some similarities to the united states flag with the red and white stripes are noted as well such as the flag of malaysia and the flag of liberia, the latter of which was an american resettlement colony.

bullet::::- capture the flag mode is similar to its "tribes" equivalent. there are two teams, each with a flag and a flag stand. the objective for each team is to capture the enemy flag and bring it back to their base. however, the team’s flag must be at their flag stand in order for them to capture the enemy’s flag. points are awarded for every flag capture, and for every flag return. the game can be ended by time running out, or a team capturing the enemy flag until the max amount of captures achieved. if it is ended by time, whichever team had more points wins. matches can end in the event of a tie.
