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.

The national flag of Cameroon (drapeau national du Cameroun) is a vertical tricolour of green, red and yellow pales, with one yellow five-pointed star in its center.

What we know about it
The flag was adopted on 26 October 1957 as a plain tricolour, and on 20 May 1975, after Cameroon became a unitary state, it reached the form it has now. The size of the central star is subject to wide variation, although it is always contained within the inside stripe.
Drafted from Flag of Cameroon on Wikipedia, as it read on 2026-08-26, and checked back against it: every date, name and number above appears in the sentences it was written from. Nobody here wrote it by hand.
Its days
The almanac keeps a page per day of the year that something is dated to. This flag is on 2 of them, with the sentence that says so.
Nearest in the world
Every flag is compared with every other one, off the pictures themselves. Two copies of one picture score 0; these are the closest to this one. How that is measured.
Pan-African Colors
Flags people genuinely mix up. Worth a second look.
