The Order of the Phoenix

I have recently been reading an encyclopaedia of flags that I got out 
of the library.  In it I found this:

"The national emblem of Vanuatu is a pair of crossed Namele leaves 
(Phoenix sylvestris) surrounded by a boar's tusk.  The 39 fronds of 
the leaves represent the 39 members of the Representative Assembly.  
The boar's tusk is a symbol of prosperity."

(We have no way of knowing whether the tusk comes from a boar with 
wings.)

So, perhaps the Order of the Phoenix is all those people who have an 
internet domain name registered in Vanuatu?
