Summary

Description
English: Democracy Flag: The image is of a flag that symbolizes democracy and its principle of decisions and power being shared equally, among all stakeholders, in all sectors, at all levels, in all human relations, everywhere. The flag has an overall dimensional ratio of width: twenty-six, and length: forty-one. Its background is tierced per pall in blue (at the hoist) (web color #0000FF, PMS Blue 072 C), red (at the bottom) (web color #FF0000, PMS 2347 C), and green (at the top) (web color #00DD00, PMS 2423 C). These three fields converge toward the center of the flag, and each field describes a 120º angle at the flag’s (obscured) central vertex. At this center is a charge with a diameter that is 15/41 of the horizontal length of the flag. The charge consists of twelve pictographic human figures linking hands in a ring, their heads outward, their legs inward toward the center. Their legs collectively describe the outer shape of a central, white (web color #FFFFFF) dodecagram (Schläfli symbol {12/4}) which they surround. The ratio of the diameter of each figure’s head to the diameter of the entire charge is 2/45. The angular size of all of the figures’ arms and legs is 15º, and the various angles formed within and among the figures are all in multiples of 15º. The distance from the neck of one figure to the neck of the opposite figure is one-third of the horizontal length of the flag. Each figure in the charge is of a different color of the spectrum — rose at the top (web color #FF007F, PMS Process Magenta C), followed clockwise by magenta (web color #FF00FF, PMS 807 C), violet (web color #7F00FF, PMS 2592 C), blue (web color #0000FF, PMS Blue 072 C), azure (web color #006EFF, PMS 2173 C), cyan (web color #00DDFF, PMS 915 C), spring green (web color #00DD7F, PMS 7479 C), green (web color #00DD00, PMS 2423 C), chartreuse (web color #7FDD00, PMS 375 C), yellow (web color #FFDD00, PMS Yellow C), orange (web color #FF6E00, PMS XG Orange C), and red (web color #FF0000, PMS 2347 C). The image was created using Inkscape and is in the public domain. The RGB hexadecimal colors are definitive; the PMS colors are suggestions. (See construction sheet.)
