How it is put together
Measured off the picture, the same way the colours were, not from anybody's description of it.
- a single-coloured ground
The fly edge and the foot are one colour, and the same one, whatever else is drawn on top of it.
What we know about it
Saint Lucia became an Associated State on 1 March 1967, and on that same day it adopted the flag of the native Saint Lucian artist Dunstan St Omer, in place of the British Blue Ensign defaced with the arms of the colony. When the country became independent on 22 February 1979 the overall design stayed as it was, though the shade of the blue and the sizes of the triangles were modified marginally. And though the island already had its own distinct flag, the official ceremony marking independence still ended with the Union Jack coming down for the last time.

Its day
The almanac keeps a page per day of the year that something is dated to. This flag is on one 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.
