Dominican Republic

About the flag

Dominican Republic is correct. This flag is the only national flag that features a Bible on its coat of arms, set at the center of a white cross—an unmistakable clue. Its colors carry meaning: blue for liberty, white for salvation/peace, and red for the blood of national heroes, alongside the motto “Dios, Patria, Libertad” (God, Fatherland, Liberty). Context tip: The Dominican Republic shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti and gained independence in 1844. The Bible on the coat of arms is traditionally open to John 8:32, “Y la verdad os hará libres” (“The truth shall make you free”). Memory aid: think “Dominican = only flag with a Bible” and the trio “God, Fatherland, Liberty” at the heart of its identity.
