The Brazilian flag consists of a green field with a yellow diamond in the center, containing a blue circle with stars. In the center of the blue circle is a white band with the national motto, "Ordem e Progresso" (Order and Progress), written on it. Inside the blue circle, there is a representation of the sky seen from Rio de Janeiro on November 15, 1889, with 27 stars, each representing a Brazilian state and the Federal District. The green represents the Brazilian forests, the yellow represents the country's wealth in gold, and the blue symbolizes the sky over Rio de Janeiro on the day Brazil declared itself a republic.
