National Flag | Flag of Gran Verionia |
The Flag of Gran Verionia was adopted following the Union of 1682. The flag is based on the flag of the Kingdom of Valentia, which also is a horizontal tricolour of purple, red and gold. The flag features the Coat of arms of Gran Verionia in the centre. The colours of the tricolour, purple, red and gold are considered the national colours of Gran Verionia. The purple is the colour of royalty and tradition, and represents the heritage of the confederation. Red stands for the war-ridden history of the nation, as well as for determination and victory. Gold stands for wealth, trade and prosperity. |
Coat of Arms | Coat of arms of Gran Verionia |
The coat of arms of Gran Verionia was adopted following the Unification of 1682 and was designed by José Miguél de Veneto. The purpose of the design was to combine elements of the independent nations that were to form the Confederated States of Gran Verionia. The coat of arms consists on an oval shield divided into three parts. The upper left quarter depicts a white castle on a hill, representing the constituent state of Kasterburg, as well as the protection and strength. The upper right quarter depicts a ship, sailing along the coast of South-East Keltia, under the star of Verion. It represents the unification of the Keltian lands under Elu Miqah, as well as the mercantile and endeavouring Verionist spirit. The lower part features the flag of Los Liberados, with the Estrellas de la Libertad. The shield is supported by the purple-red-golden banner of the Kingdom of Valentia, as well as a laurel wreath, which represents victory and virtue. The shield rests on a banner that features the motto. |
