The Embassy of Bearland has released a new version of the flag, designed to be easier to stitch.

The flag shows a blue polar bear, the national animal, standing against a white background. The bear’s deep blue color symbolizes the intense cold of the Arctic homeland, while the white background represents the snow and ice that define Bearland’s rugged terrain for most of the year.

“I’m gonna miss it, but I think this is a great step forward for Bearland.” said the Head of State. “The flag is easier to print, embroider, and display while keeping the symbolism intact. Our citizens around the world will find it instantly recognizable.”
