Brazil’s national flag is iconic in its blue, green and yellow colours, and is often waved at sporting events or depicted on fashionable clothing items. The green and yellow represent the Braganza-Habsburg dynasty and have, therefore, been an identifying mark of the Brazilian flag for many, many years. The green field of the flag is occupied by a yellow rhombus. In the centre of this yellow shape is a blue circle with the motto 'Ordem e Progresso' ('Order and Progress') across it and 27 white five-pointed stars. This represents the night sky over Rio de Janeiro, even in terms of the individual positioning of the stars. Each star represents a specific state, of which there are precisely 27.
Thanks a lot Pedro!
