The flag of Liechtenstein consists of two horizontal bands of blue and red, with a gold crown in the canton. The blue represents the sky, while the red symbolizes the evening fires that are lit inside homes, portraying a sense of homeliness and unity. The crown on the flag signifies the unity of the people and their prince. Interestingly, after Liechtenstein participated in the 1936 Olympics, they added the crown to differentiate their flag from Haiti's, as they realized both countries had identical flags at that time.
