Arturrian Symbols
Arturrian Flag
The Arturrian flag (shown in the info box at the top of this page) is divided into four colourful sections. Each sector symbolises a season of the year, clockwise from top left: spring, summer, winter, autumn. The summer and winter sections have, respectively, a sun and a snowflake to symbolise the appropriate weather. Spring displays a treble clef, which shows the country's links with music, while autumn shows a Greek letter - symbolic of a link with languages. The red star in the centre unifies the four sectors, just as socialism unifies the various regions of the country.
National Anthem
The Arturrian national anthem varies depending on the season of the year. This is because the country has adopted A. Vivaldi's The Four Seasons and only the appropriate part of the composition to the current season is played.
