    How to identify it

    A white vertical band fills the flagpole side, while the outer half is split horizontally with red above green. That mixed vertical-and-horizontal arrangement is the key detail.

    Design and construction

    Adoption and legal status
    The flag was adopted in October 1958 shortly after the Malagasy Republic was proclaimed.

    History of the design

    Red and white connect with historical highland kingdoms, while green was introduced in the independence-era design.
