[PAR] [TLE] Flag of Great Britain [SEP] The flag of Great Britain, commonly known as the Union Jack or Union Flag, is a maritime flag of Great Britain that was used from 1606 to 1801.  The design was ordered by King James VI and I to be used on ships on the high seas, and it subsequently came into use as a national flag following the Treaty of Union and Acts of Union 1707, gaining the status of "the Ensign armorial of the Kingdom of Great Britain", the newly created state.  It was later adopted by land forces, although the blue field used on land-based versions more closely resembled that of the blue of the flag of Scotland. [PAR] [TLE] Union Jack [SEP] The Union Jack, or Union Flag, is the national flag of the United Kingdom.  The flag also has an official or semi-official status in some other Commonwealth realms; for example, it is, by parliamentary resolution, a ceremonial flag in Canada and known there as the Royal Union Flag.  Further, it is used as an official flag in some of the smaller British overseas territories.  The Union Flag also appears in the canton (upper left-hand quarter) of the flags of several nations and territories that are former British possessions or dominions.
