A national symbol of England is the Tudor Rose;

And of course, the most British thing ever;

Wow, can't believe I didn't think of that haha. Tea is more British than anything though, it really does come before anything else

I always thought it was the lion, as back in the day it was on the english flag, plus we have god knows how many statues of lions decorating various official buildings

My little town of Sunbury had a cup with ashes in it!

That's right you limey whiners! Australia played the first test with England at Salesian college oval, won the match, burnt the ( wadda ya call those little fuckers which sit on top of the stumps), and put the ashes in a cup.

Doesn't count.

So I was struck with a weird thought the other day.

Looking around here in Kiwiland I noted that the national symbol is the Kiwi.

Now this is the country that was once home to a Haast eagle, one of the largest eagles ever identified, which would make a great national symbol.  Instead they chose a rather plain, ugly, flightless bird.

And before any Aussies laugh, the national emblem for Oz is a large, bouncy mouse...

Why do you think there are no more Haast's eagles about? Because the kiwis slaughtered them en masse.

The obverse side of Virginia's state seal (adopted in 1776) is featured on the state flag. Sic semper tyrannis means "Thus always to tyrants", and denotes the colony's independence from Great Britain. 

Yes, Virtue's breast is out. And, that's a sword on her left side.

The Lion is the animal symbol of my country.

And by "my country" I mean this large land mass I was born on because philosophical determinism/chance (the former makes more sense. Chance is just a way humans make sense of pseudorandomness in a universe that appears supremely chaotic on the quantum level because we're merely hairless apes with large egos).

Cricket isn't a real sport.

The idea is for one guy to try and knock another guy's bails off with a ball, while he defends himself with a flat stick. If that's not sport then nothing is.
