flag: Paraguay

A flag with two faces, each telling a part of its nation's story! This is the national flag of Paraguay, unique for having different emblems on its obverse and reverse sides (though the emoji typically shows the obverse). The flag features three horizontal stripes: red for patriotism, valor, and justice; white for peace, purity, and unity; and blue for liberty, generosity, and perseverance.

In the center of the white stripe, the national coat of arms proudly displays a golden star, symbolizing independence, surrounded by a green palm and olive branch, with the motto "Paz y Justicia" (Peace and Justice). Use this emoji when discussing Paraguay's unique bilingual culture (Spanish and Guaraní), its rich history, or its position in the heart of South America. It's a powerful symbol of a nation that values both its heritage and its ideals.
