Flag of Isokyria

The Flag of Isokyria (Isokryian: ᛒᛟᚱᛁ ᛟᚠ ᛁᛇᛟᚲᛁᚱ, Bori of Isokir) is a yellow-fimbriated blue Nordic cross that extends to the edges of a black field. During the Isokyrian Civil War, it was used by nationalist forces as a battle flag and was officially adopted as the country's flag following their victory in 1938.

History
It is not known what the first flag flown over what is now Isokyria looked like. The earliest flag known to represent the entire island nation was designed by the British during their colonization of Isokyria. It consisted of the defaced by a white disc containing a black bull or cow. This flag was mostly used by government offices only and saw rare use among the general public.

Use


The flag may be flown by private citizens as well as on government buildings. All schools are legally required to fly the flag at all times. General respect for the flag is expected from all users. The flag is typically not displayed vertically unless there is not enough room to display it horizontally on a wall, for example. Optimally, the flag should be hoisted on a flag pole if one wishes to display it.

Symbolism
The government has not officially stated what each element of the flag symbolizes, though it is agreed the Nordic cross symbolizes. The yellow likely represents Nororism and the blue is possibly a callback to Isokyria's history as a British dominion. It is not clear what the black field symbolizes. It could possibly serve to give contrast to the other colors.
