Wiki:
The national flag of the Republic of Macedonia (Macedonian:
Знаме на Република Македонија) depicts a stylised yellow sun on a red field,
with eight broadening rays extending from the centre to the edge of the field.
It was created by Prof. Miroslav Grčev and was adopted on 5 October 1995 after
a one-year economic blockade imposed by Greece in order to force the Republic
of Macedonia to remove the Vergina Sun, a symbol from the gravesite of the
ancient Kings of Macedon from the flag, as Greece considered it a Greek symbol.
The new eight-rayed sun represents "the new sun of Liberty" referred
to in the national anthem of the Republic of Macedonia, Denes nad Makedonija
("Today over Macedonia")
