Put a stack of bricks in front of it and I can slide down from the top to the next level.

Genuinely surprised it's not in the US. I'm sure some other nations are super patriotic too and I just don't realize it. But oversized and patriotism is kinda the USA's bread and butter.

By the way, the image in the thumbnail of that link is the 3rd tallest free-standing flagpole: the Dushanbe Flagpole, in front of the Palace of Nations in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan. It's 165 m (541 ft) tall. I'm still looking for an image of the Egyptian record-breaker.

Go look at the list, the Acuity Flagpole in WI barely made the top 10. They love these tall flagpoles in the Middle East

Well there are plans for a flagpole in the US that will stand 1,461 ft tall (including the 315 ft hill it will be on that's 1,776 ft, though obviously doesn't count towards the actual size of the structure)

I'm not sure I agree that is true of all the states. Wisconsin, yes. But, next door in Minnesota they have Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox.
