The state flag must be displayed alongside the flag of the United States on or in front of the state capitol building, and institutional and educational buildings of Arizona as the Governor directs, on or in front of the courthouse of each county, and other institutional buildings of each county as the board of supervisors directs, and on or in front of the city or town hall of each incorporated city or town, and other municipally owned buildings as the governing body of the municipality directs (A.R.S. § 41-852).

The revolutionary flag was created by cutting the despised communist coat arms arms from the national flag. The media coverage of the event showed the revolution spreading across the country. Anti-Ceausescu groups were readily identified by the "empty flags". The act of cutting a hole in the former flag shows the popular power that can be gained through simple and readily identifiable symbolism. The removal of the communist part demonstrated the rejection of the government without losing the national identity in the tricolour. Nicolae Ceausescu had created a repressive regime that fostered a cult of the personality. He had completely lost touch with the reality of every day life for the majority of the country and had come to believe his own propaganda. The collapse of the dictatorship showed the fragility of the system, when oppressed peoples rise up against it and the hubris that can exist when a leader is not accountable to the population. The flag was given as a gift to me in May 1990 and came from the mayor's office in Botosani.
