The national flag of the Grand Duchy of Eniarku is the flag used to represent the state and people of Eniarku. It is a horizontal tricolour of light blue, white, and red. The current flag was designed by the Government with the establishment of the grand duchy on 29 May 2024.

Description

The design of the national flag is provided for by the National Symbols Act of 2024, which defines it as a "tricolour triband composed of horizontal bands of equal size [...] from top to bottom" of azure, white, and crimson, all with 3:5 (width:length) proportions. The current flag is a lightly modified version of the original flag of the defunct Kingdom of Eniarku, which was originally designed to honor the ancestry of the royal family by employing the Pan-Slavic colors used in many Eastern European flags.

Display and use

Private use of the national flag is permitted but rare, as very few citizens have access to the flag due to production restrictions. The national flag must always be flown above others (like those of territories or other realms), and at the same level as those of other nations. Although not explicitly provided for by law, the flag is customarily flown at diplomatic functions and buildings, and is also lowered to half-staff during times of national mourning or as a sign of respect to foreign nations and individuals. The national flag is also flown at official residences of the grand duke when the sovereign is not in residence, and is replaced by the Royal Standard when he is present.

Variants

The National Symbols Act of 2024 explicitly designates the national flag as a civil flag and ensign, while variations are provided for government and military use. The government typically uses the State Flag at domestic government buildings, which is simply the national flag with the shield of arms superimposed in its center, while the War Flag is the official banner and ensign of the Armed Forces flown at military installations and aboard naval vessels, and consists of the same design as the national flag with the exception of pennant-like points at the end of each band. During the five-day Eniarkian Jubilee celebrations and on National Day, an alternative "banner" version of the national flag with a gold trim is flown.

Royal Standard

The Royal Standard, more formally the Standard of the Grand Duke, is the official flag of the sovereign, and consists of the heraldic arms of Eniarku expanded lengthwise to create a 3:5 proportioned flag of seven horizontal bands alternating between azure and white with the traditional "Eniarkian lion" superimposed in the center, officially "[b]arry of seven Azure and Argent, Or a lion rampant armed and langued Gules." Flags employed by other members of the royal family typically employ similar symbology.
