Adopted12 February, 1938
DesignFour equally-sized quadrants of black, red, and green, with a white cross charged in the middle

The flag of Imagua and the Assimas is the national flag of Imagua and the Assimas. Designed by member of Parliament Howard Petrucionis, it was adopted by Parliament to commemorate the first anniversary since Estmere granted it "equal partner status" in 1938, with the flag being officially used for the first time on 12 February, 1938.

This flag was maintained following the cession of the Assimas Islands from Etruria to Imagua after the Solarian War in 1946, and its subsequent independence from Estmere in 1948.

Design

The flag comprises of four equal quadrants, separated by a white cross, arranged in a manner to reflect both the Estmerish flag.

Officially, the black quadrant at the upper left-hand corner of the flag represents Imagua's volcanic soil; the red quadrant on the upper right represents the blood shed during the Great War; the blue quadrant on the lower left represents the West Arucian Sea, and the green quadrant on the lower right represents the lush vegetation. The white cross separating the quadrants is meant to echo the black cross found on the Estmerish flag, and to represent Sotirianity.

Unofficially, some of the colors on Imagua's flag have other meanings, with black often being described as representing either the Etrurian community or the Bahio-Imaguan community; red as representing the blood shed during slavery and the Transvehemens slave trade; green as representing the wealth of the country, and white as representing either the Estmero-Imaguan population, or the Euclean population as a collective.
