flag of argentina
according to " no. 1272", a decree signed into law on 5 december 1900, there are two official designs of the national flag. article two established the national banner as the tricolor with the yellow stripe doubling the size of the blue and red stripes. article three establishes the national flag charged with the coat of arms and is directed to be used by the military, government offices and diplomatic agents outside of ecuador. while this law establishes the flag with the coat of arms as the state flag, it did not forbid the civilian population from using the flag. the only restriction is stated in article six where the merchant marine is restricted to using the flag without the coat of arms. because of this, this has been construed to be the civil flag as it was practiced in other south american countries, such as peru, bolivia and argentina. unlike ecuador, several of these south american countries forbade the civilian population from using the national flag with the coat of arms or, in the case of argentina until 1985, the national flag charged with the sun of may in the middle. peru and bolivia still restricts the usage of the state flag to just the government bodies and institutions and reserves the plain flags for national celebrations or as directed by law. however, in practice the flag with the coat of arms is often used in place of the plain flag, especially when it is important to distinguish the latter from the flag of colombia. in the case when colombian merchant marine ships are at sea, the colombian national flag is charged with a red and blue oval with a white star in the center. for city governments, article 4 in the 1900 decree forbids them from using the national flag with the coat of arms. a special flag was created for the city governments to use; it is a plain national flag charged with white stars that are placed in a circle pattern. the number of white stars will correspond to the number of provinces in ecuador. however, this flag is identical to venezuela's flag from 1905 until 1930, and similar to venezuela's current flag (the stars are now in a semi circle pattern).
