Introduction

A stamp, a flag, a national currency or a national anthem is a point of pride, seen as absolutely essential to the identity of the nation.

The national pride of many countries is deeply wound up in the maintenance of national symbols, of which the above mentioned are a few. This is particularly true of the younger nations of the world, who gained their independence in the last 60 years, since World War II. For many of them, these symbols are important in separating them from their colonial past.
