The national flag of Ascion, or officially called as The Union Flag (Hawaiian: ka hae hui) is a single color flag consisting of a symbol of the national animal, the whale (represented by an orca) in the center. The flag was first adopted as the national flag of Ascion with the consolidation of National Flag Act 2045, two years after Ascionese independence.

Symbolism

The white colour of the flag could either be interpreted to signify divinity of God, or adherence to the rules of divinity. It can also be interpreted as the harmony between all existing species and ethnicities. The blue color is known as the traditional color of Austronesians, represents water (the ocean) as the driving force of Ascionese unification. The whale, however, represents a reference to local culture, as the animal has centuries of strong ties with almost every existing culture in Ascion.

Design

At the National Flag Act 2045, the High Court of Ascion introduced a corporate design for the government of Ascion which defined the specifications of the official colors as:
