Panama

The flag of Panama, most recently adopted on 20 December 1903, features a panel of red in the upper right-hand corner and a panel of blue in the bottom left-hand corner. In the upper corner is a blue star, and in the bottom, a red star. Blue represents the Conservative Party, and red, the Liberal Party, the two traditional political parties established with the Republic of Panama. The blue star also represents purity and honesty as necessary parts of civilian life; the red star represents the government, its law, and its authority.
