Culture House comes out in support of Crimean secession (on flag design grounds)

With a grim global tit-for-tat looking increasingly likely, Crimean secession is no laughing matter. Still, we here at Culture House have slightly different priorities to the people of Ukraine. Slaves to line, form and colour, we have our thoughts locked onto the thrilling prospect of gaining a splendid new flag (see above).

Here are some more secessionist movements who, on design grounds alone, deserve to be granted a seat at the UN (or at the very least an internship at Wallpaper):

1. Nagorno-Karabakh (part of Azerbaijan)

Pac-man! Stop! You’re eating the flag of Armenia!

2.  Sindhudesh (part of Pakistan) 

Oh, hey, axe-wielding people.

3. Zulia State (part of Venezuala)

Nothing says ‘I am the king of Zulia, God of sun and lightning, and I might eat your face’ than this cheeky, futuristic Aztec number
