One of America's many diseases is its staunch unwillingness to send company executives to jail for doing crimes, despite otherwise having the highest incarceration rate worldwide.

The British national dish is curry.

There's other languages that have far more politically contentious flags representing them - at least all the English-speaking countries are broadly allies. Spare a thought for the Taiwanese who have to select a People's Republic of China flag, even though the language is as much theirs as it is the PRC's, or the large number of Russian-speaking native Ukrainians who have to select the flag of the country who's bombing them and their families.
