Croatia is a former Yugoslav republic on the Adriatic Sea. It is about the size of West Virginia. Part of Croatia is a barren, rocky region lying in the Dinaric Alps. The Zagorje region north of the capital, Zagreb, is a land of rolling hills, and the fertile agricultural region of the Pannonian Plain is bordered by the Drava, Danube, and Sava Rivers in the east.

Croatia, at one time the Roman province of Pannonia, was settled in the 7th century by the Croats. They converted to Christianity between the 7th and 9th centuries and adopted the Roman alphabet under the suzerainty of Charlemagne. In 925, the Croats defeated Byzantine and Frankish invaders and established their own independent kingdom, which reached its peak during the 11th century.

In June 1991, the Croatian parliament passed a declaration of independence from Yugoslavia. Six months of intensive fighting with the Serbian-dominated Yugoslavian army followed, claiming thousands of lives and wreaking mass destruction.

The Croatian flag was adopted on December 21, 1990, making it one of the world's newer flags. Croatia gained independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. The red, white and blue have been used as Croatia's flag since 1848. The Croatian flag consists of three horizontal stripes - the top stripe is red; the middle one white and the bottom stripe is blue. In the middle of the flag sits the Croatian coat of arms.

The Croatian banner's hues were acquired from the nation's ensign. Hues reflect the three images of Croatian history - the red speaks of the blood of Croatian martyrs, the white symbolizes Croatia's serene mild nature, and the blue speaks of the Croatian dedication to God.

The fundamental place of the crest is a checkerboard that comprises of 13 red and 12 silver fields. The checkerboard has been an image of Croatian lords following, at any rate, the tenth Century. Over the checkerboard are five delegated coats which speak of the authentic localities from which Croatia started. The Flag Company Inc had practical experience in banner plans offered an extraordinary release of decals and banners to retain the historical backdrop of Croatian Flag for the future generations.
