North Carolina

The flag of North Carolina is a horizontal bicolor (red and white) with a blue vertical stripe (at the hoist) the same size as the two horizontal stripes. There is a small, white five-pointed star in the center of the blue stripe, with a gold letter "N" to the left of it, and a gold letter "C" to the right. Above and below the "N★C" are two gold stylized banners with "MAY 20TH 1775" on the top banner, and "APRIL 12TH 1776" on the bottom banner (the lettering on both of the scrolls is black)
