The Brazil flag features a green field with a large yellow diamond in the center, which contains a blue circle adorned with 27 white five-pointed stars arranged in the pattern of the night sky over Rio de Janeiro on November 15, 1889, the date of the Proclamation of the Republic of Brazil. Inside the blue circle, there is a white band with the national motto "Ordem e Progresso" (Order and Progress) written in green uppercase letters.
