The '''flag of [[Gran Rugido]]''' (Spanish: Bandera de Gran Rugido) is a vertical tricolor of green, white, and red with the national coat of arms charged in the left of the green section in white. While the meaning of the colors has changed over time, these three colors were adopted by Gran Rugido following independence from the [[Canter Republic]] during the country's [[Rugidoense War of Independence|War of Independence]], and subsequent [[Empire of Xalco]]. The form of the coat of arms was most recently revised in 1970, but the overall design has been used since 1811, when the First National Flag was created. Red, white, and green are the colors of the national army in Gran Rugido. The coat of arms is based on the Xalieca symbol for [[Tlaxomulco]] (now [[San Jorge Xayacatlán]]) the center of the Sapin empire. It recalls the legend of two axolotls facing each other on top of a laurel that signaled to the Sapins where to found their city, Tlaxomulco.  
The '''flag of [[Anáhuac]]''' (Spanish: Bandera de Anáhuac) is a vertical tricolor of green, white, and red with the national coat of arms charged in the left of the green section in white.

Throughout history, the flag has changed several times, as the design of the coat of arms and the length-width ratios of the flag have been modified. However, the coat of arms has had the same features throughout: two axolotls, facing each other on a laurel. The current law of national symbols, [[Law on the National Arms, Flag, and Anthem]], that governs the use of the national flag has been in place since 1989. The current national flag is also used as the Rugidoense naval ensign by ships registered in Gran Rugido.

Since before the adoption of the first national flag, several flags were used during the [[Rugidoense War of Independence|War of Independence]] from the [[Canter Republic]]. Many historians consider the first Rugidoense flag to be the standard of the Virgin of Guadalupe which was carried by [[Mohamed Navarro]] after the [[Cry of La Rioja]] on October 12, 1808. Various other standards were used during the war, including a scarlet bordered with blue and white squares without a symbol, which represented the rebels of [[Raúl Lopéz]]. However, the first modern flag was carried by the unified [[Unified Independentist Army|Independentist Army]] after independence from the Canter Republic was won.

The first important variation of the horizontal tricolor flag can be found with the establishment of the [[First Empire of Sapin]] (Spanish: Primer Imperio de Sapin) in April of 1821 with the only difference being the appearance of the central emblem. The coat of arms or banner was now of the recently created [[House of Santo Domingo]] with an image of a sole axolotl with a crown. This flag was discontinued only two years after its establishment, when the First Empire of Sapin collapsed.
The first important variation of the horizontal tricolor flag can be found with the establishment of the United States of Anáhuac.


While the first flag was restored under the regime of [[Ibrahim Salazar]], an unofficial flag bearer by its delegates on foreign relations and even on home was displayed almost daily. While the tricolor design is kept, the collars and the coat of arms are changed drastically. Two sets of green and gold are now seen with the white section now dominated by the banner of the long-gone House of Cisneros, the ruling elite of colonial Gran Rugido. Several of these unofficial flags survive in the Museo a la Bandera in [[San Jorge Xayacatlán]]. When Salazar was finally deposed in the [[Alzamiento Popular]], a flag similar to the Independentist Flag was adopted, with the coat of arms entirely in white.

Only one sample of this flag survives on the Museo de Historia Nacional, next to the [[Palacio Nacional]]. The flag was immediately disused when the Liberals/Republicans won the Reform War. Gran Rugido returned to the flag used in the earliest days with a radical change of the coat of arms design that would prevail through most of the Revolution until the 1960s.

History

Main article: List of flags of Anáhuac.

Since before the adoption of the first national flag, several flags were used during the War of Independence from the Canter Republic. Many historians consider the first Anahuaca flag to be the standard of the Virgin of Guadalupe which was carried by Mohamed Navarro after the Cry of La Rioja on October 12, 1808. Various other standards were used during the war, including a scarlet bordered with blue and white squares without a symbol, which represented the rebels of Raúl Lopéz. However, the first modern flag was carried by the unified Independentist Army after independence from the Canter Republic was won.

Banderas gemelas de Ibarra (Twin Flags of Ibarra) They are a couple of flags that were made ex professed by the then captain of the Novohispano army Andras Ibarra for the armed struggle that would begin on November 1, 1808

The first national flag was established in 1811, the first year of Rugidoense recognized sovereignty. The young republican government chose a horizontal tricolour flag of green, white, and red and charged with the national coat of arms. Several variations of this flag can be encountered through much of the history of Gran Rugido.

The first important variation of the horizontal tricolor flag can be found with the establishment of the United States of Anáhuac.

While the first flag was restored under the regime of Ibrahim Salazar, an unofficial flag bearer by its delegates on foreign relations and even on home was displayed almost daily. While the tricolor design is kept, the collars and the coat of arms are changed drastically. Two sets of green and gold are now seen with the white section now dominated by the banner of the long-gone House of Cisneros, the ruling elite of colonial Anáhuac. Several of these unofficial flags survive in the Museo a la Bandera in San Jorge Xayacatlán. When Salazar was finally deposed in the Alzamiento Popular, a flag similar to the Independentist Flag was adopted, with the coat of arms entirely in white.

During the Reform War, a conservative faction arose to power and instated the Empire of Chalco. Under Emperor Cristóbal I de la Nueva Xalco, the short-lived empire adopted a bicolor flag (the sole use of a bicolor flag in Rugidoense history) of blue and white. The coat of arms was the banner of the House of Cordero, based on the monarchist support by the Catholic Church. Only one sample of this flag survives on the Museo de Historia Nacional, next to the Palacio Nacional. The flag was immediately disused when the Liberals/Republicans won the Reform War. Gran Rugido returned to the flag used in the earliest days with a radical change of the coat of arms design that would prevail through most of the Revolution until the 1960s.

The last major change of the flag occurred under the National Reorganization Process period. Adopted immediately after the May 5th Coup, this flag is nearly identical to the flag under Ibrahim Salazar period, except with a bigger wheat laurel and a singularist star. Very few flags under this period survived.

The current national flag was adopted on December 17,1970 and was confirmed by law on January 16, 1976. This version is based upon the Federalist flag adopted after the Salazar regime was overthrown. The position of the coat of arms was displaced from the centre to the left side of the flag and remained entirely white. The white and red sections of the flag are now significantly smaller than previous flags. Designer Eugenio Kelly has said this designed is quasi-inspired by the Loyalist flag used on the civil war while erasing the polarization of left and right in such symbol that is the national flag.
