National Flag of Whitmount


The National Flag of Whitmount was created in 1590 when the unrest between the Habsburgian Spanish and the native Netherlandish was settled in the Treaty of Terneuzen. Although its shape is based of the Union of Kalmaris flag, with the Nordic Cross, the colours are a mixture of the original Whitmountian green, the Spanish red, and the Dutch saffron yellow. The green represents the unusually high amount of forests in Whitmount, the red paying homage to the Spanish settlers that came to the island in the 2nd century, and the saffron referencing the Dutch influence.
