Indonesia Flag
The flag of Indonesia is the national flag and the national flag of the Republic of Indonesia. It consists of two horizontal stripes red and white of the same size. The red and white is an ancient
Javanese standard, documented in a so-called entry "of Kudadu1" from East Java and dated 1294, which recounts the rebellion in 1292 of Jayakatwang prince Kediri against his suzerain, the Kertanegara
king Singasari, the end of this kingdom and the founding of the Majapahit. The inscription mentions the use of standards "red and white". It is this standard that has been selected by Indonesian
nationalists like flag of the new nation in 1949.
Apart from the proportions (Indonesia: 2: 3), it is identical to the Monaco flag ratio of 4: 5, the flag of Hesse proportion of 3: 5 and Alsatian flag (rot und wiss). It is also similar to the flag
of Poland, but with inverted colors, as well as that of the Canton of Solothurn (Switzerland), with the difference that it is square.
