History
Flags under the empire
The first Aspen flag was a red and gold vertical bicolor, this flag, however, was short lived and was soon replaced by the horizontal bicolor with a gold crowned eagle surrounded by a laurel wreath in the canton. The Bicolor flag, designed by former Chancellor, Bryce, set the standard of a horizontal bicolor for aspen flags that followed. The second flag had a ratio of 2:6 and was the longest used of all flags used by the Kingdom of Aspen. The horizontal bicolor remained the flag of the Kingdom of Aspen until June 2020 after the collapse of the first Aspen Empire.
