The flag and arms are officially defined by the ''National Symbols Act'' ({{lang-fr\|Loi sur les symboles nationaux\|link=no}}), which specifies the {{wp\|blazon}} of the arms as "Azure, a cross gules fimbriated argent between four [[w:fleur-de-lis\|fleurs-de-lis]] Or".

	==~~History~~==		==Symbolism==
	The ~~exact derivation~~ of the ~~Omerican flag~~ is ~~disputed, though~~ the ~~most commonly cited hypothesis has the flag descend from a combination~~ of ~~the~~ [[~~w:Saint George's Cross\|Cross of Saint George~~]] ~~with~~ the ~~banner~~ of ~~[[Romanique]]~~, with ~~traces its origins back to~~ the {{wp\|fr:Croix de saint Michel\|Cross of Saint Michel}} and the [[w:Armorial of the Capetian dynasty\|banner of ''Gallia Moderne'']]. ~~Alternatively~~, the ~~Avonian revolutionary flag, which itself is~~ of ~~disputed origin~~, ~~is cited as one of~~ the ~~two component banners instead~~ of the ~~Cross of Saint George~~, ~~though it has~~ been ~~argued that~~ the ~~flag was relatively unknown outside of Avon and therefore was not one~~ of the ~~components~~ of the ~~Omerican federal flag~~.		The design of the Sublime Union is based on the {{wp\|attributed arms}} of [[Bricius]], the legendary King of All the Omerike in Omerican folklore, and combines symbols associated with anglophone and gallophone Omericans. The central cross combines the {{wp\|fr:Croix de saint Michel\|Cross of Saint Michel}} with the [[w:Saint George's Cross\|Cross of Saint George]] and is combined with four fleurs-de-lis from the legendary [[w:Armorial of the Capetian dynasty\|banner of ''Gallia Moderne'']].

			In a historic context, the petals of the fleurs-de-lis represented the [[w:Estates of the realm\|mediaeval estates]]: the clergy, the nobility and the commoners; since the abolition of the monarchy, the fleurs-de-lis have been re-interpreted to represent growth and prosperity and the petals to represent the three Omerican Revolutionary Wars: the War of the Succession, the War of Independence and the Civil War.

	The Omerican flag is usually half as tall as it is wide, though flags with a 2:3 or 3:5 ratio can also occasionally be seen. For aesthetic reasons, flags that have the Omerican flag in the canton (particularly the ensigns and war flags) should always be 1:2 to preserve the square fly area, with the canton being half of both the length and width to the upper hoist (left) quarter.

	The thickness of the central red cross and white {{wp\|fimbriation}} are specified as being {{frac\|1\|5}} and {{frac\|1\|15}} of the length of the ~~flag’s~~ short edge respectively, regardless of the ~~flag’s~~ ratio or orientation.

Unlike the coat of arms, for which any depiction that accords with its blazon is considered legally correct, the exact dimensions for the elements of the flag are specified in the ''National Symbols Act''.

	Custom states that the national flag should be displayed in a dignified and honourable manner and should be lowered at night unless properly illuminated. The flag should never be allowed to touch the ground or water, be used as a drapery or hold anything before unfurling. No other flag may fly higher than the national flag by law; the flag should occupy the place of honour under Omerican law and should be the first flag raised and last lowered. Displaying a frayed or dirty flag is considered insulting; flags that are unfit for continued use are traditionally burnt in private as a mark of honour.

	Consistent with the honour and dignity of the flag, it should never be [[w:Flag dipping\|dipped]] to a person or thing. The flag should be hoisted and lowered to the tune of the [[~~L’Avonnaise~~\|national anthem]] and all persons present should face the flag and stand at attention, while those in uniform should render a salute. During a period of national mourning, the flag may be flown at {{wp\|half-staff}} by raising the flag to the top of the flagpole and immediately lowering it a third of the way down, a process which is reversed when the flag is lowered from the pole; if flying the flag at half staff is not possible or practicable, a black ribbon may be attached to the top of the pole above the flag. At state or military funerals, the flag may be draped over the coffin with the fleurs-de-lis pointing toward the right shoulder of the deceased; the flag is removed before the coffin lowered into the grave or cremated and folded up and presented to the {{wp\|next of kin}} as a token of respect.
