Located in the heart of South America, Paraguay is a landlocked country between Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina. It is surrounded only by land and rivers (Iguazu River, Parama River). One of the specific features of this country is its mixed population and its multi-ethnic culture, which is the pride of the country. Its name comes from the Paraguay River that flows through the country. The word "Paraguay" is derived from the Guaraní language and would mean "River of the Payaguas", an Amerindian tribe that was once terrifying to its enemies.

Do you know the history of the Paraguayan flag?

The flag of Paraguay is decorated with three horizontal stripes of equal height: red, white and blue from the top of the flag.

But this country flag is really unique in the world: did you know that it is the only double-sided flag in the world?

Indeed, the flag of the Republic of Paraguay has a different front than the back! Each side of the flag has a very particular meaning. On the right side of the flag, you can see the emblem of the national seal "the Star of May" (the coat of arms of the country) floating in the centre of the flag, while on the reverse side it is the emblem of the treasure seal "a golden lion wearing a Phrygian cap sitting in front of a spade" that is visible. On the lion's emblem is the inscription Paz y Justifia (Peace and Justice), Paraguay's national motto while on the national coat of arms is the name of the country "Republica del paraguay" with the yellow star surrounded by two branches: palm and olive that form a semi-crowned

These two symbols of Paraguay evoke freedom: the star of May symbolizes the country's independence from the Spanish empire in 1811, while the lion's emblem embodies the defence of this freedom.

This flag is reminds us of certain symbols of France and the French revolution ! The flag of Uruguay was directly inspired by the republican values of France, a famous country of human rights and the colours of the French tricolour blue white red flag! Some also claim that the three Paraguayan colours are derived from the colour of the uniforms of the Paraguayan soldiers who defended the country from the invasions of the British Empire in the Rio de la Plata at the beginning of the 19th century.

This national flag with a height/width ratio of 3/5 was first adopted in 1842, but has been slightly amended over time. The last official version was published in 2003. The Paraguayan flag is the national flag and the official maritime flag of the country that can fly on civilian vessels, the state fleet and military vessels.
