I moved to Denmark recently. The Danish love to fly their flag. Half of the houses have a flagpole. It's weird for me because no one in Poland does this.
It’s a long story of course, but goes back to a wave of nationalism that arose after the 1864 wars against Prussia. The Danes often said “what is lost externally must be gained internally” and it lead to a break with Pan-Scandinavism so Danes really had nothing but flags and flagpoles left. And boy did they use them.
They also tried breeding a pig with the Dannish flag on it. Also its the oldest continuously used falg, coloration and minor size differences not withstanding.
