Overview
Flag and symbols
An unofficial local flag has a red field with four white isosceles triangles in the middle, their apexes oriented inward at right angles to each other. A small flag of France, outlined in white on two sides, is in the upper-left corner. The triangles represent the three native kings and the French administrator. The national symbol is a red saltire (Saint Andrew's Cross) on a white square on a red field.
