All "British Arctic Territory" flags are hoaxes, developed by Clay Moss et al. on April Fools' Days

The BAT Office of Vexillology (OV) came up with a flag. Its inspiration is the flag of the North American Vexillological Association, or NAVA as it is generally called. Of course, it is labeled "batov"

Additionally, the Vexillological Association of the BAT submitted a design
also inspired by NAVA. The coincidental resemblance to the BATOV flag is just
that, a coincidence..........really........no kidding. The VABAT flag is the
British Arctic Territory's first flag not to display the famous BAT bear.

The third flag was a sneak job. An intern with the OV who is also a VABAT
member had suggested that VABAT's flag should have reversed light blue and dark
blue colors so that it would not be confused with the OV's flag. The intern even
had a reversed colored flag sewn together and showed up to the March VABAT
meeting.
When the intern was shot down, she went outside and hoisted her
flag upside down in protest. Little did anyone know that the intern got an idea
from the hoisting. She affixed the BAT bear to the upside down flag, declared
the flag right side up in her mind, and then snuck the paperwork for the design
into the stack of other flag waiting for official OV approval. Mr. Chad Flagg
signed all of the paper work, not noticing the extra addition.
So, the
BAT now has an "official" BAT Mountain Climbing Club flag. The problem is, there
is no BAT Mountain Climbing Club. In order to try and take the edge off of this
rather embarrassing situation, several folks are currently scrambling to form a
BAT Mountain Climbing Club before the end of the day. Good luck Alpinists!! Has
anybody seen that #@@#$&%## intern!?
