The meme is also known as '''Polandball''' after the primary character, which represents the nation of [[Poland]].  Poland is represented with its national flag upside down (red over white, whereas its flag is white over red); because of this the country is considered upside-down as well, leading to the most well-known joke in the meme: "Poland cannot into space" (and its numerous, unsuccessful, attempts in the meme to go into space; in real life Poland did send one astronaut as part of the Soyuz program from the old Soviet Union and Poland is a full member of the European Space Agency).
