Nicaragua's flag has two blue bands framing a white centre bearing the national coat of arms. Blue represents the two oceans and the sky, white peace. The triangular arms — with five volcanoes, a rising sun, a liberty cap and a rainbow — echo those of the former United Provinces of Central America, of which Nicaragua was a member.
