Flag of Georgeland

The Flag of the United Islands of Georgeland is a bicolor flag with a dark blue stripe in the fly, with the remaining two-thirds of the flag a lighter blue colour. An assembly of seven five-pointed stars, in gold, adorn the light blue field. Each star represents one of the seven States, and the stars are arranged in a rough approximation of the location of each state within the archipelago. The current flag was first flown on July 1, 2000, when the new states of East Mainland and West Mainland replaced the former state of Mainland, increasing the number of stars from six to seven. Prior to this, a flag of six stars had been flown from July 1, 1958. The original flag, with five stars, was first flown on April 13, 1930, the winner of a design competition launched nation-wide after Georgeland became a Republic. The flag's original designer is officially James Scott; however, in the 1980s evidence was unearthed suggesting Scott's original design was stolen, and that a number of people in Long Island designed the original flag. This theory has gained strength in recent years by the publication of diaries belonging to Scott which fail to mention the flag at all.
