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 we know about it
Elaine Liverpool's flag of 1979 carried the coat of arms on a breadfruit leaf, which proved convoluted and costly to manufacture and hard to recognise from afar; after the 1984 elections the new prime minister James Fitz-Allen Mitchell sought a redesign, a nationwide contest ended in an impasse, and Julien van der Wal (a graphic artist from Switzerland) was asked to modernise the flag while keeping the same colours and respecting the symbolism. His version, formally adopted on 12 October 1985, puts three diamonds in a V where the arms had been: an allusion to the first letter of Vincent, and to the nicknames Gems of the Antilles and Jewels of the Caribbean.

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.
