Apparently it's the French term for NATO ("Organisation du Traité de l’Atlantique Nord"), directly translating to "North Atlantic Treaty Organization". At least according to some random website I found after a search.
I wish there was a rule that forced people to spell out an acronym the first time they use it, regardless of how much they think the acronym is common knowledge.

- jorvi 3y agoGiven by the confusion in this thread and it being literally the first time I have ever read of heard of the acronym “OTAN”, I’d go with not-so-common knowledge :)
- ziddoap 3y agoI don't have the flag memorized, and wouldn't know to look at the flag unless I already knew what the acronym was.
