The national Flag of Amenria, officially named the White Dragon Flag (Chinese: 白龙旗, pinyin: Bái Lóng Qí) consists of a white star and crescent with a dragon's head within a black rhombus, contained within a white rhombus, which is then contained within a black rhombus. It has been used by the empire's government since the founding of the nation in 2042. The colours and the design in general is made to be able to be interpreted in multiple ways by the observer.

Symbolism

The colours black and white could either be interpreted to signify yin and yang respectively or earth and heaven, or the "blackness" of human nature (humans are not impeccable and is subject to sin and were made from soil) and the "whiteness" or divinity of God, His perfection, and His presence within every person.

The star and crescent serve as a symbol of Islam, with the dragon head representing a reverence to local culture, signifying that although the country is an Islamic state, it opposes Arabization in favour of local customs.

The main feature of these flags are a depiction of one of the Four Auspicious Beasts (with the Golden Dragon being featured in the Imperial Guard flag) inside a ring. These flags share the same dimensions (2:3) as the national flag.
