The Flag of Indonesia is a simple bicolour
with two equal horizontal bands, red (top) and white (bottom) with an overall
ratio of 2:3. It was introduced and hoisted in public at the Indonesian
Declaration of Independence on 17 August 1945 in Pegangsaan Timur street in
Jakarta, and again when the Dutch formally transferred sovereignty on 17 August
1950. The design of the flag has remained unchanged since.
The flag of Indonesia is graphically identical
to the Flag of Monaco, with a slight difference only in the ratio of its
dimensions.
The Naval Jack of Indonesia is reserved for
sole use by the Indonesian Navy. It flies from the mast of every active
Indonesian war ship. The design of the jack is described as nine alternating
stripes of red and white. It is nicknamed Ular-ular Perang (War Pennant or
literally "War Snakes"), probably due to the stripes' design. The
naval jack dates to the age of Majapahit Empire. This empire, renowned for its
great maritime strength, flew similar jacks on its vessels.
