The '''flag of [[Mascylla]]''' or '''Mascyllary flag''' ({{wp|German language|Hesurian}}: ''Maskillische Flagge''), often referred to as the '''Three Bands Flag''' ({{wp|German language|Hesurian}}: ''Dreibandfahne''), is a {{wp|tricolour}} flag consisting of three horizontal equally-sized bands displaying the national colours of Mascylla: blue, white, and gold (Hesurian: ''Blau-Weiß-Gold''). The flag was first adopted as the national flag of modern Mascylla after the [[Mascyllary Revolution]], though its main design has been largely attributed to the nation's earlier flag of the [[Mascyllary Kingdom]], excluding a [[Mascyllary Revolution|brief interruption in 1923]].  
The '''flag of [[Mascylla]]''' or '''Mascyllary flag''' ({{wp|German language|Hesurian}}: ''Maskillische Flagge'' {{wp|Help:IPA/Standard German|[maski:lɪʃə fla:ggə]}}), often referred to as the '''Three Bands Flag''' ({{wp|German language|Hesurian}}: ''Dreibandflagge'' {{wp|Help:IPA/Standard German|[dʁaɪ̯bantfla:ggə]}}), is a {{wp|tricolour}} flag consisting of three horizontal equally-sized bands displaying the national colours of Mascylla: blue, white, and gold (Hesurian: ''Blau-Weiß-Gold''). The flag was first adopted as the national flag of modern Mascylla after the [[Mascyllary Revolution]], though its main design has been largely attributed to the nation's earlier flag of the [[Mascyllary Kingdom]], excluding a [[Mascyllary Revolution|brief interruption in 1923]].  


While the meaning of the main colours of the flag are not exclusively explained in the any government document, a symbolism was slowly attributed to them. {{wp|Blue}} is the traditional color of [[Kingdom of Aldia|Aldia]] as the dirivng force of Mascyllary unification, while they also depict the oceans and rivers. {{wp|White}} stands for the purity of the monarchy and its political intent, the people, and the state, and {{wp|gold}}, which depicts the colour of the crown and the main colour of the [[House of Ahnern]], which currently rules Mascylla through its {{wp|sovereign}} [[Dorothea I of Mascylla|Dorothea I]].

Additionally, the flag may also be decorated with adequate and non-defacing additions, in most cases with golden {{wp|fringe}} or {{wp|trimming}}. The ceremonial display of the Mascyllary flag includes the use of these enhanced flag versions, particularly in {{wp|parade|parades}}, posts and places of honour indoors, and {{wp|color guard|colour guards}}; all service branches of the [[Reichswehr (Mascylla)|Mascyllary ''Reichswehr'']] use fringed national flags for parades or colour guards, while such additions to a reproduced privately used flag are forbidden.

The flag of Mascylla or Mascyllary flag (Hesurian: Maskillische Flagge [maski:lɪʃə fla:ggə]), often referred to as the Three Bands Flag (Hesurian: Dreibandflagge [dʁaɪ̯bantfla:ggə]), is a tricolour flag consisting of three horizontal equally-sized bands displaying the national colours of Mascylla: blue, white, and gold (Hesurian: Blau-Weiß-Gold). The flag was first adopted as the national flag of modern Mascylla after the Mascyllary Revolution, though its main design has been largely attributed to the nation's earlier flag of the Mascyllary Kingdom, excluding a brief interruption in 1923.

While the meaning of the main colours of the flag are not exclusively explained in the any government document, a symbolism was slowly attributed to them. Blue is the traditional color of Aldia as the dirivng force of Mascyllary unification, while they also depict the oceans and rivers. White stands for the purity of the monarchy and its political intent, the people, and the state, and gold, which depicts the colour of the crown and the main colour of the House of Ahnern, which currently rules Mascylla through its sovereign Dorothea I.

Another version which has been widely accepted is that the blue stands for the Elbgau Confederacy, which victoriously fought of Adwhin in the War of the Five Kings to unite Mascylla, hence the smaller and lower stripes of gold and white. However, historians agree upon that King Lukas I personally drafted the earliest version of the flag in the final peace negotiations in Langquaid in 1793. It has since been used as the Mascyllary flag, with a brief interruption of a reversed version of the same colours for the provisional May Republic, which has been used since 1923 until today.

Design and decoration

At the time of the adoption of the flag there were no exact colour specifications other than "the colours of blue, white, and gold", as per Article 15 of the Constitution. However, on 11 May 1993, the High Cout of the Realm introduced a corporate design for the government of Mascylla which defined the specifications of the official colors as the following; the flag's design is formally blazoned as: "Tierced in fess azure, argent and or." As with the design, colours of the flag are only codified and required if produced or used in official capacity by the Mascyllary government. Consequently, other colours can be used for mass-produced versions and reproductions of the flag, and private practice tends to use more saturated colours.

Additionally, the flag may also be decorated with adequate and non-defacing additions, in most cases with golden fringe or trimming. The ceremonial display of the Mascyllary flag includes the use of these enhanced flag versions, particularly in parades, posts and places of honour indoors, and colour guards; all service branches of the Mascyllary Reichswehr use fringed national flags for parades or colour guards, while such additions to a reproduced privately used flag are forbidden.
