The flag of Acrea consists of a fimbriated blue Nordic cross within a white cross flanked by a red field, with the Acrean coat of arms in yellow or gold set in a blue field at the junction of the crosses. The design of the cross incorporates Acrea's two primary historical flags together: the blue and yellow flag of Greater Götland, and the red and white flag of Daneland. The three crowns which flank the Acrean lion represent the three archduchies that comprise modern Acrea: Daneland, Gothaland, and Venetia. The white and blue also serves to represent the region of Åland, in Acrea's far north.
