The flag of Pogo
I came upstairs after sewing the other night to this list that was being compiled. You can't make this stuff up. It's a game called Imaginary Country with simplified explanations of exports, government, terrain, etc. provided by my husband, so, you know—they know what's what.
Sadie (age 6 3/4)

Delia (age 4 3/4)

Lydia (Almost 2. Information provided by her sisters, based on her favorite word.)
Country: Donut

Upon hearing all this I immediately suggested they design the flags and stamps for each country, and then got all excited about designing the currency, but a new game was started instead.
