Name the islands that this flag and coat of arms represent
Correct answer: The Pitcairn Islands
Player Clem
When Pitcairn became overcrowded, many of their population were relocated to Norfolk Island after the convict prison on Norfolk was closed. Many of the current Norfolk Island residents are descendants of the Bounty mutineers also.

Never heard of this island group but it’s good to gain some trivia, may come in useful.

Been passed on a ship. very small, very steep. Amazing they survive as it's in the middle of nowhere.

The mutiny was lead by Fletcher Christian. It’s not certain how he died but an interesting note that the replica of HMS BOUNTY perished in the Atlantic Ocean in hurricane Sandy. All but one crew/passengers were rescued. The one that wasn’t was a female and direct descendant of Christian.

This was a wonderfully written explanation of the correct answer. Delightful and engaging. Hope you write many more!

Too many people chose The Philippines, seriously the 2nd most voted option.
I did not expected it, I expected many choose Nauru and/or Micronesia as it is lesser known than the Philippines, I thought Philippines is very famous country.
I got this right, just some dependencies' flag confuses me

I KNEW OF PITCAIRN ISLAND FROM WATCHING MURINY ON THE BOUNTY. GREAT MOVIE. ACTUALLY THE BRITISH GAVE CAPT. BLIGH A GOVERNORSHIP OVER ANOTHER ISLAND. SO HE WAS NEVER PU ISHED FOR BEUNG CRUEL TO HIS CREW.
Dawn
I am pen pals with a woman named Meralda on Pitcairn. All the islanders wear many hats keeping things going out there. There is a group called Friends of Pitcairn on Facebook.

Ler, the jack refers to the addition of the cross of St Patrick. The Union Flag consists of the flags of St George and St Andrew only.
JB
One important fact was left out. Pitcairn Island is where the mutineers from the Bounty settled.

Heard about these islands many years ago when a history lesson was just that-history,other countries clearly weren’t interested in these islands as never contested unlike the Falkland isles ect
Ducky
Fish, I actually got it right. 👍
Donna
Just made a guess...never heard of it!
Owl Lady
Heard on a show last night that Ben Fogle was accused of being a spy when he tried to visit Pitcairn Island for research for his book and was deported.
Player #50531971
yes, having read mutiny on the bounty i know about Pitcairn island. globetrekker did an episode about it. it's so far from anywhere and depressingly poor.
tunde
Never ever heard of this place. Just used majority option.

I read three books by Nordoff and Hall about the Mutiny on the Bounty. Men Against the Sea was the story of Captain Bligh and the men who were set adrift in a small boat. Pitcairn Island was about the mutineers and what happened on the island. All three are based on true accounts.
