The National Badge of Freice (Freician: Foniga Tehua'i Faiose'va) depicts a Tanuta Kulu'va, a shield traditionally used by the highest noble class in official state ceremonies. The shield is quartered into three sections; in the first a star on a red field, the second a tree on a white field, and the third blue waves.[1] An inscription on a white scroll below the shield, Hore ro e Sasorate (Freician, "Honour in Service") is the national motto of Freice. The emblem was established by the National Badge (Adoption and Regulation) Order on 5 September 2022.[2]

Description

A breakdown of the emblem of Freice.

The emblem takes inspiration from the federal school of Riamese heraldry. It features as its central element a traditional Freician qaba shield divided into three quarters. In the first quarter is a white star, called the Kaldaz Star, on a red field, which is a traditional symbol of Freice. It is said that the Kaldaz Star would guide fisherman to fish and then back to land, offering good luck and safety. In the second quarter is a tree on a white field, representing the importance of nature and the central role of environmental stewardship in Freician culture. In the third quarter are blue waves on a white field, representing the sea - from which Freice supposedly arose.[3][4]

Regulations on use

Although the emblem of the nation, the constitution defines it as a government symbol:

"The people of Freice reserve the right to adopt for themselves symbols of nationhood within the Federation."[5]

This regulation was carried over from the previous constitution. Use of the emblem without government permission is illegal.
