The flag of Imagua and the Assimas is the national flag of Imagua and the Assimas. Designed by member of Parliament Howard Petrucionis, it was adopted by Parliament to commemorate the first anniversary since Estmere granted it "equal partner status" in 1938, with the flag being officially used for the first time on 12 February, 1938.

This flag was maintained following the cession of the Assimas Islands from Etruria to Imagua after the Solarian War in 1946, and its subsequent independence from Estmere in 1948.

Design

The flag comprises of four equal quadrants, separated by a white cross, arranged in a manner to reflect both the contemporary Estmerish flag, and the old royal standard which was used during the Kingdom of Estmere.

The black quadrant at the upper left-hand corner of the flag historically represented the Estmerish nation, but following the annexation of the Assimas Islands in 1946, the black has come to represent the Etrurian community, although in more recent decades has also come to represent the Bahio-Imaguan population. The red quadrant on the upper right and lower left represents the blood shed during the Great War, while the green quadrant on the lower right represents the fertility of the land.

The white cross separating the quadrants is meant to echo the black cross found on the Estmerish flag, and to represent the Estmerish community on the islands.
