Nicaragua Flag Patch

"The Nicaragua flag consists of three equal horizontal stripes. The upper and lower strips are blue and the middle strip is white. In the middle of the flag and on the white stripe is the coat of arms of the country.

The colors of the country flag are inspired by the flag of the former Central Union of the United States of America. The two blue stripes symbolize the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, while the white stripe represents peace. When interpreted as modern, the blue color symbolizes justice and loyalty, while the white color represents virtue and purity. The equilateral triangle has a meaning representing equality. In the triangle, there are five volcanoes representing the five members of the federation. There is also a red Phrygian cap, white rays, and a rainbow, one of the symbols of freedom and peace."
