| Design and Symbolism |
The flag consists of horizontal tricolor of yellow, blue and red. The National Coat of Arm is placed on the upper hoist side of the yellow band and an arc of eight white five pointed stars is centered on a blue band. At the top, the Yellow colour symbolizes the riches of the country, the wealth of Venezuelan soil, gold, sovereignty, harmony, justice and agriculture, as well as the Sun, the main source of Light. Blue symbolizes the Sea of the Caribbean, as well as the Venezuelan beaches. Red represents the spilled blood of martyrs in the battle of independence from Spain. The stars represent the seven Venezuelan provinces, which signed an agreement with the dissolution of Gran Colombia. The eighth star, which was added on the flag in 2006, is supposed to represent province Esequiba, which is located in the territory of Guyana and which Venezuela is claiming.
