The flag of Surrow is the national flag of Surrow. Designed in 1897 by Ervin Suchet, it was adopted in 1916 after Surrow gained full self-government from Rythene by the Surrowese Parliament the previous year, and maintained its status as Surrow's official flag ever since.
Design
The flag is comprised of a centred white Tyrnican cross on a Rythenean green field, with the Big Dipper on the canton.
When the flag was designed by Ervin Suchet in 1897, the flag was made similar to the Flag of Rythene at that time, with Suchet declaring in a pamphlet which saw the flag be distributed that the green was to "symbolise our islands' indisputable Rythenean heritage," white "for the purity of the souls who inhabit this far northern land," and the Big Dipper "representing our land being the closest to the North Pole." Suchet did not include any red in the flag design as he claimed that "no Surrowese blood was ever spilled."
Officially, the green is meant to symbolise Surrow's tuckamore forests that cover much of Holcot Island, the white is meant to symbolise the long winters that Surrow experiences, and the Big Dipper is meant to represent Surrow's geographic position as the northernmost nation of Maurceania Major.
