Good afternoon folks. In our next Ultimate Battle Tournament, we go to one of the lesser known regions of the world. You may call it Oceania, Australasia or even just Australia but no matter its name, we are gonna do some exploring.

Much like our Western Europe and USA/Canada competitions, we'll be looking at the flags of these antipodean subdivisions and deciding which one is our ultimate favourite. States, territories and incorporated dependencies will make an appearance here. Some you'll be familiar but most, I would wager, you might not be... that's half the fun.

We'll be kicking of in just a little while with an introduction to the rules. Would be great if you could get involved. So click follow if you can and join us!

There'll be no sovereign nations in this competition lads, they were already in the Ultimate Flags of the World Tournament which, funnily enough, Marshall Islands won. Kiribati fell earlier than expected too. Did you know that it is actually pronounced Kirabass. Figure that one out.

Easter Island - looks like a face mask which is just so apt, or a hammock for sunnier times.

Easter Island. The Ozzie state flags look like they just slapped a sticker on the national flag and said, 'that'll do folks'.

Easter Island - I don't know what drugs they were taking when they designed that, but it was clearly some good sh*t.

Vote Tasmania, even though they could have done so much better...

According to Wikipedia its a reimiro, a wooden pectoral ornament once worn by the people of Rapa Nui, painted in red, a symbol of power, with two anthropomorphic figures at its edges, representing the Ariki ('chiefs, nobles').
