The flag of Azania is the state flag of Azania, an autonomous region in southweastern Somalia. The flag of Azania was similar to the one that previously existed in Russia from 1991 to 1993. [1] [2] [3] [4] It differed only in the aspect ratio, 2:3 instead of 1:2.
There is no accurate and reliable information confirming which previous flag Azania had. However, it is known that on 13 March 2011, even before the official declaration of independence of state entity, the flag of Azania was established, completely identical to the current flag of Russia, in the center of which there is an elephant [5] (it existed until 25 March when the elephant emblem was removed). [6] There is also alleged information that the previous flag of Azania consisted of horizontal blue, red and green stripes and was similar to the flag of Azerbaijan. [7] It's a combination of colors of South West State of Somalia, although there is no reliable information in primary sources about the variants of this original flag (hinting at the intention to lead not three, but six provinces, including South West State).
The Azania flag consists of three colors: white, blue and red.

However, when not seen through a prism, the color he deemed "blue" is actually blue-green, or cyan, what he called "violet" is today known as dark blue, and "indigo" is a normal blue.

The flag of Argentina is a triband, composed of three equally wide horizontal bands coloured light blue and white. There are multiple interpretations on the reasons for those colors. The flag was created by Manuel Belgrano, in line with the creation of the Cockade of Argentina, and was first raised at the city of Rosario on February 27, 1812, during the Argentine War of Independence. The National Flag Memorial was later built on the site. The First Triumvirate did not approve the use of the flag, but the Asamblea del Año XIII allowed the use of the flag as a war flag. It was the Congress of Tucumán which finally designated it as the national flag, in 1816. A yellow Sun of May was added to the center in 1818, which according to anarchist Diego Abad de Santillán, the sun represents the Incan god of the sun Inti., but its true symbolism is a matter or debate between vexillologists.
