Contemporary Flag

The current flag of the Senate and the People of Patriconia consists of three vertical stripes, all of the same width. The two outer stripes are red, representing the blood of those who have fought and died for the sovereignty of Patriconia, and the middle stripe is white, to symbolize the purity of the Patriconian people. The white center stripe features a fasces. The fasces stands for the ultimate power of the Chancellor in the government of Patriconia. Underneath the fasces, in large black letters, is the word VICTORY, so that Patriconia may overcome all that threaten her.






Flag of the Republic

The previous flag was used during the Democratic Republic of Patriconia, and later, during the Free State of Patriconia. The flag featured three equal vertical bars. The hoist bar was red, the center bar blue, and the fly bar white. These colors were inspired by both the flag of the United States, and the French tricolor. On the center blue bar, there was a fasces to symbolize the supreme authority of the common people in a democracy, and, below the fasces, there was the word LIBERTY in large white letters to represent the importance of the idea of liberty in the republic. This flag is still used as the flag of Patricania, which considers itself the successor state of the Free State of Patriconia.
