When has this one been created?
I guess this flag has copied the european one!

Of course they did.

As you can see at http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/cv.html, it's the flag of Cape Verde, introduced in 1992, because the old one looked too similar to the flag of Guinea-Bissau...

By the way: I agree with all the people who say Germany and Belgium have the ugliest flag because of the colours.

Helsinki coat of arms:

Finnish cities/rural communes don't have flags, only coats of arms.

there are only 2 regions in Portugal that have their own flag:

Azores (my favorite):

and Madeira:

Yes, the German and Belgian flags are not really beautiful. I think it is the black which makes them look stupid. The Antwerps flag isn't bad, it has a kind of optimistic atmosphere.

When I was a little child my parents went to Belgium with me for vacations. I wondered why they had so many German flags hanging around there. Much later I discovered that it was the Belgian flag that they had in Belgium

And it's quite different: The colors are in a different order and the stripes are upright. Even the colors are not the same: The Belgian one has yellow, the German one is supposed to have a golden stripe (though this is hardly visible on most flags).
