File:Flag of the Spanish West Indies.svg
Original file (SVG file, nominally 1,500 × 1,000 pixels, file size: 178 KB)
Summary
This is a fictional (not real or ever used) flag of the Spanish West Indies that I have made myself as an example for a flag that I would think might've been used if Spain still held possession of its Caribbean colonies (Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico) as a contemporary autonomous community in Spain.
The flag consists of two diagonal sections of blue, representing the sea, and green, representing the land. The white band in between that runs from the lower hoist to the upper fly represents purity and the sky.
In the center of the flag is the coat of arms, which is a Spanish-styled shield tierced into three parts: first parted per fess horizontally, and then parted per pale vertically at the top half. The first quarter represents the Kingdom of Castile and the second quarter represents the Kingdom of Leon, which both formed a union into the Kingdom of Spain. The lower half has a blue background (azure) with two white wavy lines representing the sea, with the royal monographs of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabela I of Castile, and three gold cross pattees representing the three ships that sailed during Christopher Columbus' first voyage into the New World. The arms is topped with the Spanish crown of dukes.
