This flag was adopted in 1995 and depicts a stylised yellow sun on a red field with eight widening rays extending from the centre to the edge of the field. The original design for Macedonia was of the Vergina Sun, however Greece considers the Vergina Sun to be a Greek symbol and imposed a year-long economic embargo in order to force the then Republic of Macedonia to remove it, which then resulted in the current design. The new design of the 8-rayed sun represents the 'new sun of Liberty'. Prior to these designs, from 1944 to 1992 the flag was a red field with a gold 5 pointed star (two versions, one with the star centered and the other with the star in the canton).
