The national flag of Madagascar was adopted in 1958. Red represents national unity, green represents hope, and white represents freedom, security, and cleanliness. The colours are also connected to different elements of Madagascar's geography and society. Red was a symbol of the country's historical monarchies and is the colour of the clay bricks used to construct most Malagasy houses. Nearly all of Madagascar is covered in lush greenery, such as the Ravenala of the coastal hinterlands and the forests of the central highlands. White is the colour of the clothing traditionally worn by Malagasy women and of rice, a staple food of the Malagasy.
