Description of the flag
The flag of the Faroe Islands is a red Scandinavian cross, fimbriated blue.
Mark Sensen , 27 November 1995 The horizontal dimensions of the flag are 6:1:2:1:12, the vertical ones 6:1:2:1:6.
Mark Sensen, 26 September 1995 The construction sheet is equal to that of the Norwegian flag (6+1+2+1+6):(6+1+2+1+12). A note in Album des Pavillons (2000) explains that the Danish national flag may also be flown. I am not sure what that means - it may be that it is flown instead of the civil ensign by vessels registered in Faroes, or it is appropriate to use the Dannebrog as a courtesy flag, or it is appropriate for state offices to use Dannebrog instead and so on?
, 12 June 2001 The flag of the Faroe Islands is called "Merkið".
Arni Nielsen , 27 January 2003 Not that I speak Faroese, but I assume that this word have the same meaning as (the similar word) in Norwegian and Danish. Merkið: The mark, or the symbol.

History and Geography
Short Notes on History
The population derives mainly from West-Norwegian farmers who settled here in the 9th century. It has been suggested that the Faroes were populated by Irish monks or hermits before this, but there is no archaeological evidence to support this view.
Christianity was adopted in AD. 999. In 1035 the Faroe Islands were incorporated into the Kingdom of Norway.
Together with Norway the Faroe Islands passed under the Danish Crown in 1380 and remained in the Kingdom of Denmark, even after 1814 when Norway came under Swedish rule.
1856 the Danish trade monopoly was abolished and the Faroe Islands gained the right to trade freely on their own. As a consequence a considerable fleet of fishing vessels was established. Fishing has ever since been the main industry and source of income.
In the latter part of the 19th century, a national movement gained ground. The first political parties were established in 1906.
In 1940 the Faroe Islands were occupied by British forces and thus separated from German occupied Denmark. The Faroese ensign , the MERKIÐ was approved by British Government decree in 1940.

History Nomadic hunters followed the lichen and moss-eating reindeer into post-glacial Denmark. The reindeer heard 'go north' voices, but Stone Age Danes stayed put, sowing seeds in the ash of slash-and-burn fields, fencing in stock animals and burying their dead vertically. Skill and artistry flowered in the Bronze Age from 1800 BC, trade routes paddled all the way south and the most beautiful made-by-Danes products were buried in bogs for sacrificial safe-keeping. Iron clanged in from 500 BC and was domestically available, leading to the development of large agricultural communities. Present-day Denmark can trace its linguistic and cultural roots back to when the region was settled by the Danes, a tribe that is thought to have migrated south from Sweden around 500 AD. In the late 9th century, warriors led by the Norwegian Viking chieftain Hardegon conquered the Jutland peninsula. The Danish monarchy, which claims to be the world's oldest, dates back to Hardegon's son, Gorm the Old, (Danish mums had a few problems naming their children), who established his reign early in the 10th century. Gorm's son, Harald Bluetooth, completed the conquest of the Danes, speeding their conversion to Christianity. Bluetooth's gob-stopping successors, Forkbeard and sons got the wood on England, setting up shop and throne and living the sweet life of Anglo-Dane monarchs. They kept it together for half a century or so, but as Viking power waned, the borders of the Danish kingdom shrank back to Denmark.

FAROE ISLANDS
The Faroese flag
The Faroe Islands were one of the last territories on the planet to be discovered and populated. The first settlers are said to have been Irish monks who arrived in the year 700 and something, there are no signs of people having lived here before that so the birds had it to themselves. Norsemen arrived in the early 800's. For the first 200 years or so Faroes was a free country but it then came under foreign power - first Norway and then Denmark.
During the Second World War, when the Germans occupied Denmark, Faroes helped feed Britain by sailing there with fish; they sailed under the new Faroese flag, which the British officially recognised. There had been a strong movement for independence for many years and in 1946 a referendum was held and the majority chose independence. This caused concern in Denmark and the Danish government dissolved the Parliament. A new Parliament was elected in which there was not a majority for independence. In 1948 the Danish Parliament passed the Home Rule Act making Faroes a self-governing state inside the Danish Kingdom. The Act recognised the Faroese flag and the Faroese language.
A few years ago, the number of people wanting independence for their nation increased considerably and in 1998 the Parliamentary elections resulted in a coalition taking power whose main promise was to set in motion a process towards full sovereignty. The process began and is still supported by many but it is not the goal of the present administration.

The bishops of the Faroe islands were usually chosen from the canons of Bergen, and were originally suffragans of Hamburg-Bremen, later of Lund (1104), finally (since 1152) of the Primate of Norway in Trondjem. There were in all twenty-three Catholic bishops, from Gunmund to Amund Olafson. The latter was forced to yield to the Lutheran superintendent Jens Riber, who also took over the episcopal title. Later on only "provosts" were elected. The Catholic clergy remained steadfast in their faith, but were unable to resist the advance of Protestantism Protestant worship.

    Faroe Islands History St Brendan and his monks sailed past a couple of islands in the 6th century that they named the Island of Sheep and the Paradise of Birds, and modern day historians have speculated that both islands were in the Faroes. The Paradise of Birds may well have been Mykines, the Faroes' westernmost island, which has an unusually dense bird population. The first human settlers were Irish monks, who did not arrive till late in the 6th century. They were no doubt seeking pagans whose souls they could save, or places where they could live in peaceful devotion. Little information remains about their stay, but it's likely that the herds of sheep that the Norse found there in the 9th century originated from hardy stock the Irish brought with them. Like those who settled Iceland, the first Norse to arrive in the Faroes were simple farmers and pastoralists looking for a peaceful place free of the ravages of pirates and tyrants on the mainland. According to the F¦ringa Saga , written in Iceland during the 13th century, the Faroes converted to Christianity around 1000 and became a constitutional part of the Kingdom of Norway in 1035. Norway was formally joined to the Kingdom of Denmark in 1380, and the Faroes adopted a Danish system of law and justice. From very early on, the government of the Faroes lay in the
