Norway’s flag consists of a deep blue Scandinavian cross outlined in white on a red field, with a central red disc bearing a golden lion holding a medieval axe and crowned with a royal crown. The design reflects Norway’s monarchy, Christian heritage, and Scandinavian identity, adopted in 1821 and officially confirmed in 1899. Four small yellow stars surround the disc, symbolizing the four historic regions of Norway.
