The national flag of the Czech Republic (Czech: státní vlajka České republiky) consists of two equal horizontal white and red bands with a blue isosceles triangle based on the hoist side. The white and red colors are traditional colors of the Czech territory. A blue color was added to the hoist side to distinguish it from the Polish flag. The height-to-width ratio in the flag is 2:3, and the flag was adopted on March 30, 1920.
Its coat of arms shows the three historical regions that make up the country: a white lion representing Bohemia in the first and fourth quarters, a red-and-white checkered eagle representing Moravia in the second quarter and a black eagle representing Silesia in the third quarter.
