The flag of Bhutan is an equal sinister bicolour with a white and black stylized dragon in the centre of the flag.
[edit] Symbolism
The dragon is white to symbolise purity. In the country's native language their country's name means "Land of the Dragon". The yellow of the flag represents secular authority, while the orange represents spirutal power, and the Buddhist religion.
The dragon holds jewels in it's claws, which represents wealth. The snarling mouth represents the strength of the country. [3]
