BASIC INFORMATION

THE FLAG

Name

Gruenberg's state flag is known in Rukialkotta as 'Frek Niawaf Rambutan' (lit. The Guiding Eye). The name derives from a nickname first applied to the very first national flag. This in turn comes from the traditional name of the constellation depicted on all Wenaist flags, thought to have been coined by early explorers who used the stars to aid their navigation. The name was only formally adopted in The 651st Year under one of the provisions of The Formalisation Of Language Act.

Components

There are three distinct components to Gruenberg's flag, each significant in its own right.

The eight purple circles are common to all Wenaist flags. They show the star sign that, in Wenaist mythology, was created by the Four Sages casting sacred stones into the sky. Purple circles are to be found everywhere in Gruenberg, and the symbol has been used on every flag Gruenberg has ever had.

The dark green background has traditionally been another common feature of Gruenberg flags over the years. The colour has no religious or political significance, but is unofficially acknowledged by many to be the 'national colour'. Most national sports teams wear dark green.
