Cape Verde Flag
The flag of Cape Verde consists of five horizontal bands of blue, white, and red, with a circle of ten yellow five-pointed stars in the center. The topmost blue stripe is half the height of the flag, and the other stripes are each one twelfth of the height.
The circle of stars is centered 3/8 of the way down the flag and 3/8 of the way from the hoist side. The lowest star is inscribed in an invisible circle that is typically constructed with a diameter of 1/12 of the height of the flag.
The flag's colors and design are meant to represent the sea, peace, and the country's African and Portuguese heritage, respectively. The flag was adopted on September 22, 1992, replacing the flag used during Cape Verde's independence from Portugal.
