PORTUGAL

The flag of Portugal consists of a rectangular uneven vertical bicolor, that is, a field vertically divided into two unequal stripes of green, at the hoist, and red, at the fly. Portugal officially adopted this design for its national flag on 30 June 1911, replacing the one used under the constitutional monarchy. The current flag represents a sweeping change in the evolution of the Portuguese flag, which was always intimately associated with the royal arms.
