Panama

About the flag

Panama is correct. The flag’s red and blue reflect the historic Liberal and Conservative parties, with white symbolizing peace between them after Panama’s 1903 separation from Colombia. The two stars highlight civic ideals and balance—fitting for a nation known for bridging worlds via the Panama Canal. The first flag was famously sewn overnight by María Ossa de Amador, becoming a key emblem of the new republic. Memory tip: think “two stars, two oceans.” Panama connects the Atlantic and Pacific through its canal, just as the flag balances two colors with a field of peace. This sets it apart from Venezuela’s arc of stars, the Bahamas’ black triangle and aquamarine, and El Salvador’s crest-centered blue-white-blue.
