The national flag of Creeperopolis is a horizontal banner which consists of a black and white bicolor superseded by in the center by the national coat of arms and in the upper right canton by the Papal coat of arms. It was initially adopted by the Adolfisto on 25 December 1845 and used until 31 December 1887, when it was relinquished by the Second Parliament. The flag was readopted by the Catholic Imperial Restoration Council on 2 January 1933 and was made the country's official flag on 4 October 1949. Its official proportions are 1,120 to 1,949 (symbolic of the rise of the House of Martínez in 1120 and the Creeperian Initiative in 1949), although the flag is most commonly rendered in a 1 to 2 ratio for simplicity.
