Bangladesh

The national flag of Bangladesh was adopted officially on January 17, 1972.

Flag Ratio 3:5
A red disc is on top of the green field, offset slightly toward the hoist so that it appears centered when the flag is flying. The red disc represents the sun rising over Bengal, and also the blood of those who died for the independence of Bangladesh. The green field stands for the lushness of the land of Bangladesh.
