Flags
The Dominion adopted the Grand Union Flag as its national flag. It is not known for certain when or by whom the design of the Grand Union Flag was created, but the flag could easily be produced by sewing white stripes onto the British Red Ensigns. The first flag to be flown has been credited to Margaret Manny. The Grand Union Flag has 13 alternating red and white stripes, representative of the Thirteen Colonies. The upper inner corner, or canton, featured the flag of the Kingdom of Great Britain, of which the colonies had been subjects.
The Royal Union Flag serves as an official variant flag for the nation. It is constitutionally enshrined to be afforded equal status to the Grand Union flag, and may be flown at parity, or alone, anywhere in the dominion.
