Flag of Suriname, Country in South America

A lot of people don't know on what continent this country is placed. Well it's the only Dutch speaking nation in (mainland) South America. (Even though a larger part of people prefer to speak a creole called Sranang Tongo) Since a big part of my family is from there I wanted to include it my flags collection. Isn't it a beautiful flag? The Surinamese flag consists 5 of five bands. The two on the top and bottom are green. Next comes a smaller white band. In the middle there's a red band with a golden star.

Celebrate the rich cultural diversity and natural beauty of Suriname with this vibrant design. The iconic skyline of Paramaribo, the lush Amazon rainforest, and traditional Maroon art elements are featured, capturing the essence of this beautiful country.
