The flag of the Dominican Republic: a white cross dividing blue and red squares, with a coat of arms in the center. It stands for the Caribbean country that shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti.
Dominicans post ๐ฉ๐ด for baseball, bachata, merengue and Independence Day on 27 February. The diaspora in New York uses it heavily, and resort travelers add it to Punta Cana photos.
Do not confuse it with ๐ฉ๐ฒ Dominica, a separate island nation with a green flag.
