Venezuela

Flag

Adopted: 1811

The Venezuelan flag features three horizontal stripes of yellow, blue, and red with an arc of eight white stars on the blue stripe and a coat of arms on the yellow stripe.

Flag fun fact: The eight stars represent the eight provinces that signed the independence act in 1811, and the flag's colors were inspired by Francisco de Miranda's revolutionary banner.
