- #ffffff
Other flags with red or white or all of red and white at once.
How it is put together
Measured off the picture, the same way the colours were, not from anybody's description of it.
- 3 vertical bands
The foot changes colour going along, the fly edge does not, and every change is a straight line top to bottom.
What is on it
Each of these is what this flag's own Wikipedia article says is on it, the sentence is underneath, so you can see what it rests on.
- leaf
