Name That Flag!

Answer: Grenada

From the Government of Grenada’s official site:

The National Flag of Grenada represents the distillation of a national effort to produce an emblem of a nation that can stand for all time and which incorporates simplicity of form, a pleasing visual quality and, not least, is symbolic of the confidence, hope and aspirations of a courageous people accepting the challenge of nationhood.

The components of the flag have the following significance:

• Red: represents the fervour of the people, their courage and vitality – their burning aspiration to be free. The red border is indicative of their dedication to preserve harmony and unity of spirit.
• Gold: the colour representative of wisdom also holds significance for Grenadians – a representation of the sun, their islands in the sun, the warmth and friendliness to their people.
• Green: symbolises the fertility of the land, the lush vegetation and the island’s agriculture.
• The Seven Gold Stars: represents the seven parishes and the hopes and aspirations and ideas upon which the nation was founded.
• The Nutmeg: represents the reputation as the Isle of Spice and its traditional link with the economy.

The Flag of Grenada was designed by Anthony C. George of Soubise in the Parish of St. Andrew. Grenada received independence from the United Kingdom on February 7, 1974 and adopted its flag on this day.
