The '''flag of [[Mascylla]]''' or '''Mascyllary flag''' (Standard Alemannic: ''Maskillische Flagge'') is a tricolour consisting of three unequally large horizontal bands displaying the national colours of Mascylla: blue, white, and gold (Standard Alemannic: ''Blau-Weiß-Gold''). The flag was first adopted as the national flag of modern Mascylla during its unification in 1793, depicting a crowned deer instead of the crown and antler, during the Kingdom of Mascylla, until 1950. Inbetween 1950 to 1951, the flag of the government of Mascylla was used for the state under Philipp Enst, as it did not show any associations to monarchistic politics and would depict the true flag of a Mascyllary "democratic nation". After the Srecond Crown War, this flag was adopted under big controversy as the flag of the government and state, while the reformed version of the national flag before 1950, under the Kingdom of Mascylla, was defined in the Grand Constitution. Although many see the government flag as a symbol of the tyranny pressed onto the population under the dictatorship of 1950, it slowly evolves into a symbol of democracy and especially unity for Mascylla.

The flag of Mascylla or Mascyllary flag (Hesurian: Maskillische Flagge) is a tricolour flag consisting of three unequally large horizontal 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, for 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 stands for the long polar nights, which occasionally occur at areas that northernly, while they also depict the oceans and rivers. White stands for the purity of the monarchy, the people, and the state, while also symbolizing the snow of winter. And finally gold, which depict 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 Confederation, 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 horizontal tricolour of the same colours for the provisional May Republic.
