3x5 Finnish Government Flag

The flag of Finland (Siniristilippu, The Blue Cross Flag) is modelled on the Danish flag and features a blue Nordic cross on a white background. Blue represents lakes and the sky, and white represents snow and the white nights of the Finnish summer. The state flag has a coat of arms in the centre, the swallow-tailed state flag is used by the military, and the presidential standard is identical to the swallow-tailed state flag but also has in its upper left corner the Cross of Liberty.
