Paraguay

The national flag of Paraguay consists of three horizontal stripes in red, white and blue. Red symbolizes patriotism, courage and justice, white represents peace and unity, and blue stands for liberty, knowledge and truth. Paraguay is unique because it has different emblems on the front and reverse sides of its flag.

Paraguay officially adopted its tricolour flag in 1842 after gaining independence from Spain in 1811. The design reflects the ideals of the French Revolution, while the distinct obverse and reverse seals emphasize the nation's sovereignty and historical identity.
