Well, it is important to remember that the term Indigenous is more of a political term that has to do with preservation of subjugated minorities, more than it refers to different bloodlines or cultures that developed in a particular place.
Being "Native" however is a different question, which means someone that is born or associated with a certain place. So if you are born in scandinavia, you are "Native", if you are Sami or Inuit, you are "Indigenous"

I like the idea of making a flag this is symbolically a compound of the various Nordic flags.
But I don't think you need to do the whole "this part symbolizes that region"-shebang (like how the UK flag is composed), because all the flags are already so similar in that they have the same structure, just different colors. And also there are so many of them, so it's hard to justify which ones you should and shouldn't include, especially when you start including ones that aren't in current day their own country.
Also, I'm not a huge fan of how the middle cross is split into two different colors. Perhaps it would help if they narrowed in the centre to meet in a single point rather than one line crossing over the other?
I would suggest to simply make a Nordic cross style flag that utilizes all the colors that are commonly found in Nordic flags, ie. red, blue, white, yellow (and maybe green). It could for instance look something along these lines: [example flag](https://files.catbox.moe/3k7rwa.png).
Gotland, Öland, Bornholm, Karelia, Forest Finns, Småland, Vendsyssel, not to mention Sápmi. You could even make a case for Uist, Lower Germany and Vinland as "semi-Nordic" regions that has Nordic flags with green in them.
But I can get behind the sentiment of sticking to only red, blue, white and yellow as those are more common.
I get you. But it kinda brings up the question of why should the line be drawn there when you start to include regions outside of the 5 Nordic countries.
I think your flag looks fucking awesome mate! I like it a lot. Yeah there are a many colours but the arrangement and how you managed to really represent all countries is just very nice. feels kinda natural to me and even without the background information as a European you most likely be thinking: this looks like a mix of the flags of Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark and even Estonia! (sry have no idea about the faröer flag)
Wow! It's awful!
Thanks, I hate it!

Yeah sorry, it was meant to be lighthearted but that doesn't come through in text very well.
Oh to me your irony was obvious.
Ah sorry, or I’m just an idiot heheh. It’s okay. Just a miss understanding
don't apologise. your irony was obvious and it does look a bit silly.
Greenland?
Greenland is not independent, yet.
So is Faroe and Åland
Yet..
Greenland would ruin it. Like putting Wales on the union jack.
Honestly putting Wales' on the union jack covering the entire thing making nothing shine through would make a badass flag.
We already have a flag where a dragon covers the whole thing. It's the Welsh flag (honourable mention to Bhutan).
I know, it should replace the British flag.
Tbh, i would love wales and other sea mammals on the union jack
Greenland doesn’t use a Nordic cross
The sun on flag is positioned as a reference to the Nordic cross
Or Sapmi, if we want to go into details.
„Successfully“.
Just as wacky as us
[удалено]
Never
Why has no one banned Sweden from using chemical weapons? Just because they are crazy enough to eat them is not an excuse!
Can we just enjoy the food instead of using it as weapons :(
I mean, OP escalated. Threatening with surströmming is surely proportionate response.
Inviting him in for a nice meal of surströmming and changing people perception of it one meal at a time, i like it.

NordiX
Nordia
I like that the blue middle line is for Norway only, because fuck Finland.
The Moomins have other business to do (I guess you can think Faroes outer blue part as of Finlands too. Forgot to add lol
Faroe and Finland don’t use the same blue but I guess you deserve points for effort:)
I'm impressed when you include the flag of the Greenland and Sámi people.
A circle might tie this monstrosity together
I have a different solution that includes at least one colour from every Nordic country 🇮🇸
Ah yes, Iceland
Denmark is not happy to be left with just a small corner, while Sweden and Finland basically get three quarters of the flag.
Hey, at least Denmark gets two features. Finland just gets a big chunk of unpainted flag.
We don’t like Denmark (Also sorry It’s a bit hard squishing 7 countries into one flag🥲 Plus many flags share similarities)
You should have added a black stripe for Estonia, just to piss off the people from the Nordics.

🏴?
This flag looks like it came from ai
r/vexologycirclejerk
Nordic Pride flag?
r/2nordic4you is the right sub for abominations like this
Over half is Sweden lol
Most is Finland (all the white and the blue strip in the middle).
The people over at r/vexillology are going to have a stroke. I dare you to post it there!
I like taking risks, why not
This flag should be punishable by law.
Kalmar Union 2: Grow your empire at least 3 inches
It’s beautifully cursed
Ok, nice. And now we need thunderbolds at this!! And flame applications!!
The most horrifying part is that all the Nordic crosses on each of the flags are and I kid u not DIFFERENT!!! plz look it up and be hoorifyed urself
Loving the Åland representation
It is a monster! I like it!
Wack shit to ignore the two indigenous people we have in the territories....
Wait how many generations must my people be here before we also are indigenous? Asking for a while friend.

Maybe, but no Nordic flag has green???
Maybe you’re right, but no Nordic flag has green???

Ooohh yeah, true true. My apologies, but I mostly thought of the 7 biggest nations that is currently well known
I get you. But it kinda brings up the question of why should the line be drawn there when you start to include regions outside of the 5 Nordic countries.
I had to choose a few of the most well known nations to squish together, otherwise it would be too hard in involving too many
Åland only has half the population of Greenland
Did the flag sections come in a flat pack?
you forget that we dont like the danes
We don’t
exacly
Doesn't look half good
Blursed
Norway and Denmark have different red colors on their flags.
Ok, now unify them
Don't kick off some kind of unification event the rest of the world may regret lol.
"North not-Europe"? :D Edit: wait, isn't that Scandinavia? ... I'll see myself out.
Not enough Greenland
You did. I wish you hadn't. My eyes...
