The flags, colours, and symbols that represent the Kaharagian nation.
The national symbols of Kaharagia represent our identity and values. Since the foundation of the Principality on 16 July 2010, these symbols have served as visible reminders of who we are as a nation.
Our symbols draw from two heraldic traditions: the Royal Family and the Order of Saint Michael. Together, they reflect the twin pillars of Kaharagian national life: the Sovereign who guards and unites the nation, and the chivalric ideals of honour, duty, and service.
The flags of Kaharagia are more than cloth and colour. They are public signs of our identity, carried in ceremony, displayed on state occasions, and flown to mark the presence of the Sovereign or the activity of the state. Each flag tells part of our story.
The Royal Standard is the most senior flag of the Principality of Kaharagia and takes precedence over all other flags. It is flown to indicate the presence of the Sovereign and is displayed at royal residences, on official vehicles, and during state occasions. The Royal Standard is square in form, distinguishing it from all other Kaharagian flags.
The Royal Standard is never flown at half-mast. The office of Sovereign passes immediately to the successor, so the Standard is simply not displayed when the Sovereign is not present.
The Principality maintains four official flags for national, civil, and cultural use. All flags below maintain a 3:2 aspect ratio.
The official flag of the Principality since its foundation. Gold over black.
Combining the Royal and Order colours. Red, gold, and black tricolour.
The colours of the Royal Family Arms. Gold over red.
Derived from the Order of Saint Michael. Gold over black.
Saint Michael's Flag, bearing the golden cross on black, has flown as the national flag since the Principality's foundation. It recalls the Order of Saint Michael, the highest chivalric order of the realm. The Civil Flag unites all three national colours, representing both the Royal House and the Order.
The official colours of Kaharagia are drawn from the heraldry of the Royal Family and the Order of Saint Michael. They appear throughout official communications, government services, and national ceremonies.
Kaharagian Red is the colour of the Royal House. It signifies authority and the bond between Sovereign and people, appearing prominently in official government communications.
Kaharagian Gold is shared by both the Royal Family and the Order of Saint Michael. It represents honour and the pursuit of excellence.
Kaharagian Black comes from the Order of Saint Michael and speaks of solemnity and steadfastness. Paired with gold, it forms the colours of the national flag.
The coat of arms embodies the heritage and aspirations of the Kaharagian nation. It appears on official documents, government publications, treaties, and in ceremonial contexts. The Principality uses two versions of its arms, each suited to different purposes.
The full achievement with supporters and mantle. Used in royal and ceremonial contexts.
The shield and crown only, without external elements. Used by government and state institutions.
The Royal Arms, with supporters, mantle, and other external ornaments, are reserved for the Sovereign and the most formal royal occasions. The State Arms display only the shield surmounted by the princely crown. They serve the everyday work of government, appearing on official correspondence, identity documents, and the masthead of the Royal Kaharagian Gazette.
"Pro Deo Et Patria"
For God and Fatherland — Motto of the Royal Family
The greater achievement of the Royal Arms bears the motto of the Royal Family, Pro Deo Et Patria ("For God and Fatherland"), inscribed upon the scroll beneath the shield. This motto is distinct from the national motto and belongs exclusively to the Royal House, reflecting the personal dedication of the Sovereign and the Royal Family to faith and country.
The use of arms is regulated by the Institute of Heraldry, which oversees all matters of armorial bearings within the Principality.
"For God, Prince, and Fatherland"
The national motto expresses the three pillars of Kaharagian national life.
For God: Many Kaharagians are people of faith, and the nation affirms the inherent dignity of every person as a foundation of law and conduct.
For Prince: At the centre of national life stands the Sovereign. Loyalty to the Prince is part of our common bond, a shared commitment to the continuity and unity of the nation.
For Fatherland: Kaharagia is defined not by borders but by belonging. Love of the Fatherland is love of this community and the ideals it upholds.
