The National Flag of Uruguay
The national flag of Uruguay (Pabellón Nacional) has a field of nine equal horizontal stripes of alternating white and blue stripes with a white canton charged with the Sun of May with 16 rays that alternate between triangular and wavy. The flag was first adopted by law on December 16, 1828 and had 17 stripes until July 11, 1830, when a new law reduced the number of stripes to nine. The flag was designed by Joaquín Suárez.
The nine horizontal stripes on the flag represents the nine original counties. The overall design bears a resemblance to the flag of the United States and the flag of Greece. (Wikipedia)
