Tajikistan's flag, which was adopted in 1992, is made up of three horizontal stripes. The top (red - independence) and bottom (green - agriculture) stripes are of equal size, while the middle stripe (white - purity) is twice the size of the others. Centered in the middle of the white stripe is a yellow/gold crown with seven five-point stars arcing over its top. This emblem is intended to symbolize Tajik sovereignty, the union of workers, and the unity of Tajikistan's social classes.
