The flag of the South American nation of Colombia was adopted on 26 November 1861. It is a horizontal tricolour of yellow, blue and red, and has no symbols on it.

The closest to an answer would be the flag used during the Kalmar Union from 1397 to 1523, which unified present day Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Iceland, along with parts of Finland and Northern Germany. In the style of the Nordic cross flags still used in all Nordic countries, the Kalmar flag was a red cross on a yellow background. However, this design has no usage in contemporary Scandinavia.

There are few animals who live in Wales alone- two examples are the Red Kite bird of prey, which lives in mid-Wales, and also the Skomer Vole, which is unique to the island of Skomer.

the seventeen stars represent that Ohio was the 17th state admitted to the country. the 13 stars around the circle (which doesn't include the 4 in the diamond shape on the right) represent the U.S. original colonies.

The blue and the red and white stripes are to mimick the U.S. flag. The blue triangle also represents the hills and valleys of Ohio and the stripes also represent the roads and waterways of the state.

The large circle is in an O shape for "O"hio. It also represents that Ohio is the 'buckeye' state.

A rattlesnake. The historical, pre-Columbian interpretation is that the eagle represents the sun god Huitzilopochtli and the snake represented wisdom and had connections with Quetzalcoatl. A different interpretation from Father Diego Duran changed the legend which has the eagle, which represents good, triumphing over evil, represented by the rattlesnake.

The danish flag 'Dannebrog' (the name is assumed to mean the 'Red cloth') has its origin in the time of the crusades - not to the Holy Land, but to the eastern shores of the Baltic sea. Here the Danish kings in 12th and 13th century attacked pagan Slavonic tribes with papal approval and converted them 'by the sword'. At the same time and in the same regions German knights did the very same, and most likely the Danish flag is inspired by the crosses of the German knights - perhaps the entire design is 'stolen' from a specific order.

The official legend says that the flag fell from the sky as a sign from God during a tough battle against the pagans in Estonia in 1219, but it actually seem to predate that battle.

Dannebrog, which by the way is the world oldest state flag still in use, replaced the red raven flag used by the Viking kings. The cross design of the Danish flag has formed model for the Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and Icelandic national flags.

The symbol on the Iranian flag means two things. It spells "Allah" (Al-llah, "the creator"), although it does demand some creativity in order to see this. Secondly, it represents the double-edged sword of Ali, a highly revered figure to Shiites. The "W" looking symbol over the middle of the symbol is called a "shadda" or "tashdid", which basically doubles the letter that is beneath it, or places extra emphasis on it. This allows for "Allah" to be spelled correctly, and also "doubles" the "blade" of Ali's sword.

Among opponents of Ayatollah Khomeini, there is also a sort of conspiracy theory that suggests he is actually a Sikh; Khomeini grew up in a province with a large Sikh minority, and the Sikh symbol does bear a significant resemblance to the symbol on Iran's flag. However, it is more likely he simply found the symbol aesthetically pleasing.

Vexillogists rarely give it any comment. Graphic artists give it a ho-hum and it has a low recognition factor even among the natives of the state.

The dominican republic flag consists of a centered white cross that extends to the edges and divides the flag into four rectangles - the top ones are blue (hoist side) and red, and the bottom ones are red (hoist side) and blue The white = peace and honesty, the red = hardiness, bravery, strength & valour and the blue = vigilance, truth and loyalty, perseverance & justice.
