flag: Chile

The Chilean flag has horizontal white and red stripes, with a single white star in a blue square in the upper left corner. This design is also known as the "Lone Star".

The colors of the flag represent the snow of the Andes Mountains (white), the blood spilled for independence (red), and the blue sky (blue). The white star symbolizes freedom and progress.

Adopted in 1817, this flag is one of the oldest in South America. It's also known for its strikingly similar design to the Texas state flag, which is said to be a coincidence.

Chile is a world-renowned wine producer and is famous for its dramatic natural landscapes, including the Andes Mountains and the Atacama Desert. The flag is often seen at sporting events and international gatherings, especially during passionate football matches.
