Royal Standard of Arlandica
The Royal Standard of Arlandica is used by the monarch of Arlandica. It became the monarch's personal flag on July 12, 2024. It is primarily used to represent the monarch and the royal family.
History
The country had an older design of the standard created on January 5, 2024, through Royal Decree No. 103. The old standard consists of four quarters: two gold and two blue. The first quarter features the chicken, the national animal of Arlandica. The second quarter depicts a castle, symbolizing the settlements in Mainland Arlandica, namely Santo Niño City and Melascoville City, despite the micronation having no actual castle. The third quarter displays a coconut tree, representing the abundance of Arlandican lands. The fourth quarter showcases two fish, symbolizing the reefs in Kalinawan. These elements are also found in the country's coat of arms.
The design of the standard was changed on July 12, 2024, through Royal Decree No. 116. However, the old standard is still frequently used by the government as it closely resembles the coat of arms, contributing to Arlandican nationalism.
Design
The standard has a 1:1 ratio and consists of six quarters. The Upper Left Quarter features a white rectangle with two suns, set against a white background, with four yellow-bordered white stars placed in the center side parts of the red pale background. The Upper Central Quarter is divided into two sections: the Upper Section has a yellow pale background featuring a Gumamela flower, while the Lower Section has a blue pale background with a laurel wreath and a golden griffin. The Upper Right Quarter contains a red isosceles triangle with a chicken, set against two gold pale triangles, each featuring a cross moline. The Lower Left Quarter displays a yellow cross set against a blue background. The Lower Central Quarter depicts a double-headed black eagle with flowers beneath it, all within a gold pale background. The Lower Right Quarter has the same design as the Upper Left Quarter.
Usage
The standard is a personalized flag used to represent the monarch and the royal family. Used in events and ceremonies. Sometimes it is displayed in the residence of the Royal family in Santo Niño City.
