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

The BATOC has submitted a request for its own permanent territorial Olympic
flag. OV grudgingly approved.

Alert, BAT, is going to make a concerted effort to host the 2026 Winter
Olympics. The British Arctic Territorial Olympic Committee, (BATOC) submitted a
design to advertise their intention. Although the flag design itself is poor, it
is consistent with other past local Olympic flags and was thus reluctantly
approved by the OV.
Alert is not real optimistic about getting the nod to host the 2026 Winter
Olympics. It is anticipated that the main hold up will be Alert's insistence
that "real" winter sports be added to the Winter Olympic menu, and some of the
stupider sports be removed. Snow ball fighting, artistic snow man making, speed
snow man making, snow angel competition, polar bear wrestling, sled dog racing,
iceberg surfing, frozen spit distance spitting, and one more "stand outside in
freezing weather event that we haven't named yet competition" are a must while
ice dancing's gotta go. Also, each country must sign a pact promising not to
send any doofus athletes to the games. If any team is caught with doofus
athletes, that country will forfeit its future Winter Olympics privileges. The
IOC does have several years to mull things over, so we'll see.

The BAT Olympic Committee has withdrawn its bid to host the 2026 Winter
Olympics. The two main reasons are that first, Olympics are insanely expensive
to host and the BAT hasn't the money, and secondly, this year’s winter Olympics
were deemed so boring that hardly anyone watched them here on television. Will
the Winter Olympics even be a “thing” in 2026?
On the flag
front, it means that the BAT will officially retire its first flag, that being
the ALERT 2026 flag.
