The Federal District flag was instituted by "N"
Decree No. 1090, on August 25th 1969. Idealized by the poet
Guilherme de Almeida, authority in Heraldry, it presents a
quadrangular shield of green and yellow colors, on a white
background symbolizing peace. Four arrows, alluding to the
Indian's arrows, consecrated elements of Brazil's origin are
arranged from the center to the North-South and the East-West,
having been described by the author as "the centrifugal
action of power".

The flag of the state of Goiás was created during the
government of Desembargador Joao Alves de Castro, at that time
State President, through Law No. 650 of July 30th, 1919, having
been accepted the model created by Joaquim Bonifácio de
Siqueira.
The Flag is formed by alternated diagonal stripes in
green and yellow, four of each color, commencing with a green
one. At a blue oblong, upon which shines in horizontal direction,
the left superior angle, in silver the Southern cross.
At the same form as on the National Flag, the green
represents the exuberance of the forests and the yellow, the
color of gold, the richness which, in its profundities, is hidden
in the soil of Goias.
The Southern Cross, this so beautiful constellation
which gave to Brazil its first names - "Vera Cruz" and
"Santa Cruz" - could not fail to appear upon the
pavilion of the State, because at the fair nights of Goias we
admire it as a sparkling and brilliant splendor of the indigo
blue sky. And so it proudly exhibits itself upon the blue oblong,
symbol of the beauty of the skies of Goias.

Using his attributions, the Governor of the State of Mato
Grosso do Sul instituted the Flag of the State on January 1 St.
1979. The Flag, created by Mauro Miguel Munhoz, has been
described by its author as follows: "Our symbol is the
equilibrium, the fortitude and the serenity. We are the golden
star which shines on the blue sky of hope, symbolizing the
richness of our labor.
The forest and the lanes of our State represent a
challenge and at the same time, the conscience of preservation of
our green, our greatest treasure which is nature.
We are the State of equilibrium, where siderurgical
chimneys and forest areas will peacefully coexist side by side.
Between the green and the blue, in the practical!
convergence of all our attitudes, we are the white binder of the
future, the serene purity of friendship among people".
