Uruguay's flag has nine horizontal white and blue stripes with a golden Sun of May on a white canton. The nine stripes represent the country's original nine departments, and blue and white recall the flag of Argentina and the shared independence struggle. The radiant Sun of May, with a human face, is an emblem of the May Revolution and national independence.
