History
The first attested flag representing Ostry dates back to 1929, during the Great War. During the formation of the nascent Ostric Republic in December of 1929, various flags using blue and white, taken from the coat of arms, were used interchangeably. The most popular in the first months was a tricolour of blue, white, and pink (with some sources attesting originally red) with the phrase chléb ë wòlnosc ("bread and freedom") emblazoned on the white stripe in gold. By the collapse of the republic and re-absorption into Werania in 1931, a new design, excluding the motto and including an eight-pointed white star, representing Polaris, on the hoist, was more commonly seen. Since then, this design was considered the de facto flag of Ostry and quickly adopted by separatists and nationalists.
In 1986, with the creation of the devolved Free State of Ostry, the tricolour was officially adopted as the island's regional flag per the Regional Symbols Act of 1986, which also officially adopted the territory's coat of arms and other symbols.
Proportions and colours
The official proportions of the flag is 2:3, with the stars positioned in the upper hoist. The three colours present were officially given set values in a 2007 amendment to the Regional Symbols Act of 1986.
