Further modifications have involved including a set of stars, multiple changes to the placement and number of stars, and the inclusion of an optional coat of arms at the upper-left corner.
==Description==
The flag is essentially dedicated to Vladimir Istvánovich Vernadsky – one of the founders of the Republic of Petrovburg. The basic design is inspired by the national flag of Venezuela. Further modifications have involved including a set of stars, multiple changes to the placement and number of stars, and the inclusion of an optional coat of arms at the upper-left corner.
According to the current interpretation, the yellow represents the riches and wealth of the Vernadsky soil, gold, sovereignty, harmony, justice and agriculture (as well as the twilight sky). Blue represents the sea of the Norway Ocean that surrounds the Petrovburg (as well as the surrounding hills and mountains). And white represents the purity, hard work, and commitment (as well as the snowy fields in the winter).
