The flag of Aucuria (Ruttish: Aukurijos vėliava) is a vertical bicolor of red and green with an eight-pointed star centered along the dividing line. Originally adopted in 1786 during the Aucurian War of Independence, it has been used in Aucuria in some form by every iteration of the Aucurian state since; the First and Second Aucurian States, regarded by the Aucurian Republic as illegitimate, used a version of the banner without the central star. Aucuria's current law of national symbols was adopted in 1980 following the Velvet Revolution, and governs the use of the country's flag.
With proportions of 5.13:10, the Aucurian flag is notable as one of the few national flags having a width more than twice its height. Aucuria celebrates its Flag Day on March 22, the anniversary of the flag's original adoption by the Revolutionary Saeimas.
Design and symbolism
The Constitution of Aucuria establishes the country's flag as "a red-and-green bicolor emblazoned in the middle with a white, eight-pointed star". Further specifications regarding the colors, dimensions, and construction of the flag are contained in the country's 1980 Law on the Flag of the Republic. An "official copy" of the flag made according to the specifications within this legislation is kept in the country's national archives.
