The flag of Norden (Dalish: Nordens flag) is a saltire of navy and gold on a crimson field. The flag was adopted upon the foundation of the Nordic Kingdom in 1702, with the design allegedly created by King Kristian IV himself. The design sought to unite the national colours of the Kingdoms of Dalland and Vitmärige into one design to denote the unification of the two kingdoms into one realm.
Prior to the unification of the two kingdoms, various designs incorporating the national symbols of both realms were used to denote the rule of two realms under one monarch. Prior to the creation of the current flag, the royal standard was the most prominent symbol of the united kingdoms and the same standard remains in use to this day. However, as the realms remained administratively separate, the flags of both Dalland and Vitmärige were retained for civil state and military usage within their respective realms, with the royal standard only being used as official standards of the royal family.
