Its the flag of Somalia.

Too be fair if your not signed into the forum instead of seeing the picture you see the words " Somalia flag gif "

Yes my comment was to answer the question posed and give an explaination of how i knew the answer. Fairly reasonable i would have thought.

Question time. The British empire was the biggest in terms of land area and also by size of economy (GDP). The second largest by size was the Mongol empire.

My question is in modern times (last 200 years) what was or is the 2nd largest empire measured in GDP ?

As a side question no bonus points what is :
30 divided by half plus 10 ?

Well, that's the problem. What you think is reasonable

I'll hazard a guess that it would have been the Dutch, as they had diamonds!

Bonus question... The maximum speed in mph that I have achieved on a British highway.

 

[allandwf]

I was going to say that, my thinking being they would need to have a large Navy/Fleet.
