The national Flag of Amenria, officially named the White Dragon Flag (Chinese: 白龙旗, pinyin: Bái Lóng Qí) consists of a white star and crescent with a dragon's head within a black rhombus, contained within a white rhombus, which is then contained within a black rhombus. It has been used by the empire's government since the founding of the nation in 2042. The colours and the design in general is made to be able to be interpreted in multiple ways by the observer.

Symbolism

The colours black and white could either be interpreted to signify yin and yang respectively or earth and heaven, or the "blackness" of human nature (humans are not impeccable and is subject to sin and were made from soil) and the "whiteness" or divinity of God, His perfection, and His presence within every person.

The star and crescent serve as a symbol of Islam, with the dragon head representing a reverence to local culture, signifying that although the country is an Islamic state, it opposes Arabization in favour of local customs.

Military flags

Aside from the war flag, which is the national flag with inverted colours, the Imperial Amenrian Armed Forces uses five flags, one for each service branch. The main feature of these flags are a depiction of one of the Four Auspicious Beasts (with the addition of the Golden Dragon being featured in the Imperial Guard flag) inside a ring, with the exception of the Azure Dragon depicted in the Imperial Police Flag, which is inside a shield instead. These flags share the same dimensions (3:2) as the national flag.

The flag of the Ground Forces consists of the White Tiger facing right in a black ring on a white background, the naval ensign consists of the Black Tortoise facing downwards in a black ring on a blue background, the Air Force depicts the Vermillion Bird in a vermillion ring on a white background, the Imperial Police features the Azure Dragon in a shield on a black background, and the Imperial Guard uses the Golden Dragon in a golden ring on a red background. The colour white on the Ground Forces flag represents metal, the element associated with the entity, virtue, and the Ground Force's emphasis on tanks. The blue in the Navy's flag is meant to represent both the sea and the element water in general, while the blue in the Imperial Police flag represents strength, patience, and altruism. The red in the Air Force Flag represents fire and the red in the Imperial Guard flag represents luck. The gold in the latter flag represents heroism and the Imperial Guard's status as an elite special forces branch.
