The brief history and description of the flag.

Following the Soviet model, the first official flag of the island nation was designed like all other flags of the Soviet Republics in 1951, after General Secretary Stalin's decision to use the islands as a testing ground for new technology.

Most of the flag orients on the official flag of the USSR. A red flag with golden hammer, sickle and star in the top left corner. And the, until this flag's design, inofficial colors of the island.

During the Soviet era, the colors of the flag were given two different meanings. For a long time, the official meaning of the colors were descriped as follows:
The top black stripe symbolizes the obsidian, night sky, into which the USSR would travel in the coming decades.
Before reaching the endless abyss of space, however, the sky has to passed through, which is represented in the center, cyan stripe.
And the white bottom represents the snowy grounds during winter as well as Wubdich's volcano's white summit.

The second description was used by the 'natives' of the island to represent their inofficial island nation.
Black represents the dark past of the population, which were sent here for grim actions or unknown reasons.
Blue was the endless sea they traveled over to reach their new home, as well as the great barrier that kept them from their former home on the mainland.
And white was supposed to be peacse, harmony and hope for a new life the people found on this island and oathed to protect.

The modern flag of the People's Republic of Wubdich, was redesign after the gouvernment put it into consideration to open up for the rest of the world and leave their isolated past under the USSR partly behind.

The new flag is oriented after the meaning of the national flag of Japan, while the nation's tricolour takes up half of the flag itself. The red circle, which bottom half is covered by the tricolor, is to represent the nation's dawn on the world stage. Hammer, sickle and star remained regardless to not only symbolize the effect the USSR left on the nation, but also the political ideology of it. Above the red circle stand three stars to represent the three main islands of the nation, Wubdich at the center, Lenara to the right and Malrora to the left.

As of today, both past descriptions for the tricolor are accepted to descripe its meaning.

On the 12th of May 2020, the CoP passed the decision to update the national flag once again, to stay scientifically correct with the first explanation of the nation's traditional colors.

This improved version of the previous flag, displays the night sky with its black color, in front of which the sun of dawn rises over the cyan-blue horizon. The five stars within the red sun represent, from left to right, the Teachers, the Army, the Workers, the Scientists, and the Council(s). The three stars representing the main islands of Wubdich have been moved to the centre, cyan stripe, to portray the islands on the sea according to their geographic position.
