Has anyone noticed what the Danish flag looks like? It's a white cross with a red background. The Australian Eureka flag, a symbol dear to every Australian, is a white cross on a blue background with eight pointed stars at the ends. With the marriage of Crown Prince Frederick to Princess Mary, wouldn't it be nice if we replaced our Monarchy with one that may actually have an Australian on the throne? I think the flag would look something like this. (http://www.geocities.com/von_papen/Daneureka.JPG)
What do you think? Poll comming...

I think all monarchies and hereditary titles must be abolished.

No one should get any privilege or position because of some crappy hereditary title.

Australia will finally get a royal family member. :D
Ditch King Charles III!

With me as the king!

Aussie bump (since it's noon and not midnight like when I first posted this thread).

A bump because school should be almost over here.

HELL YEAH!!!! It'd be awsome!!! That's a brilliant idea Patra!:D We could make the official afternoon tea Apple Danishes, or Danish apples...

His and Her Majesties Mary and Freddie!:D

We could have boat racing as another new national sport!:D

I'll go and change the letter heads now!:D

Mine's better. (http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/kanabia.jpg) :D

The Danish flag is the flag I use for the Holy Empire of Mistress Kimberly. :D

Yes, but mine is more acceptable as it involves less change for both parties. The Danes just get 5 stars added to their flag and we just have to change the background from blue to red. I don't think either nation would accept a hammer and sickle.:p

I'd settle for just the colour scheme then :p

Ba, their will never be a king and Queen of Aus, we will have the Best Bloke and Best SHeila

As an American I demand that Australia conform to our view of the world and choose the third option. My words are backed with nuclear weapons. (This always works in Civ 2.)

"We ignore your feeble threats."

:p

Mary and Freddie, top Sheila and bloke involves slightly more changes to the constitution than just crossing out England and replacing it with Denmark.

Royal bump

we should become a republic, but its not really worth it concidering the costs involved

we'll trade you nuclear fission for 10 gold and silks :p

Obviously you've made the mistake of thinking that this is a serious Republic thread. You fool.:p

I say we should replace the English with the Danish. Changing our whole consitutional system is stupid. We currently have a system that could eb described as enviable. We have a head of state that we DONT have to pay for, DONT have to accomodate and DONT have to have anything to do with. Its brillant. Also, our system has been stable for over 100 years now. If it aint broke dont fix it.

At least by changing to the Danish royal family, we'd get an Australian queen plus the Danes definitely more class and style then the Winsors ever will.

You fool.:p
I know you are but what am I? :)

thus proving what everyone hates about america

back on topic, i dont believe we should replace the current monachy with that of another country, coz it still means we will have a non-austrailan head of state. personally, i believe we should scrap the monarchy, and have the Governer-General as HoS, pretty much in the same role as is now. if we do it like the american system, then there would be too much headbutting between sections of government (like there is now), and nothing would get sorted out

As a professional loony and novocastrian, i think the idea of changing to the Danish Monarchy is on the right track but not quite right.
Instead we shoud rotate monarchies every few years or so and see which fits best. We could host Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses from all over to discover our best fit. This year i propose a trial of the Danes...after that we could try out the Dutch, the Thai, the Jordanians, The Nepalese (actually no, the King of Nepal is a bit of an asshole)...and so on. This is obviously the best and most ludicrous solution...

remind me again: other than waste tax-payers money when they tour here, and sign official documents (well, the G-G does on their behalf), what is it exactly that the monachy do?

I like what I hear! We can even have like a 'wildcard' year, perhaps have an Emperor or two!:)

Provide fodder/filler for TV weak (pun intended) between the TV guide and the crossword.

Go ahead, have the election. As long as you don't make our mistake (making the guy in charge of diplomacy and the guy in charge of policy the SAME BLOODY SOD) you should be fine.

Silly ozzies... why would you want to swear the country to denmark anyway...

Didn't the Prince of Nepal shoot the whole royal family then himself?

what a fabulous idea!

it could be like that honorary doctorate thing that big universities use as a draw to get famous people to give the commencement address

you dont even need to limit it to royality. you could get famous people from around the world to serve as king/queen for a year or 2. king clint eastwood, for example. queen posh spice and her husband king soccer player

it would put australia on the map!

Queen Oprah! We love you Oprah!:D
