What instance of misplaced loyalty? Him saying "Merde"?
Surely that's just the same as one of the American characters saying "bastard", or O'Brien saying "bollocks"?

I think he means the scene where Data says that French is a stupid language and Picard gets really angry.

Yeah, they were talking about color combinations of flags & shit, & Picard got this dreamy faraway look on his face when they talked about the tricolor�.

It isn't the most original flag design in the world, is it?
Who started that flag design anyway? And why haven't they sued?

The French Tricolre was the first flag of it's type, dating back to 1794 for the present arrangement (before that it was the same colours, only reversed) Of course it is hard to sue of because its just a arrangement of colours and geometric shapes. Besides nobody could be bothered listining to the boring vexillogily experts.

Perhaps there's a Planet Brussels or a Brusels System, and he wanted to differentiate. And maybe the existence of the European Alliance has become so common that the idea of saying he comes from Belgium would be about the same as Picard saying he comes from Gaul.

The Tricoleur-type flag is used by countries that have formed via a revolution. (Not every country that has done this uses that type of flag but there are a few).
