A large number of ethnicities have inhabited Mongolia since prehistoric times. Most of these people were nomads who, from time to time, formed confederations that rose to prominence. The first of these, the Xiongnu, were brought together to form a confederation by Modun Shanyu in 209 BC.
It also hosts thirty percent of the nation’s population making it a huge urban region. The form of government practiced in the country is a parliamentary republic. Mongolia has its origins and territory in the various nomadic empires of the East and Central Asia.
The flag of Mongolia consists of three equal sized vertical stripes - the left and right stripes are red and the middle one is blue. On the left-hand side of the Mongolian flag, in the red stripe is the country's national emblem which is a 'soyombo', a columnar arrangement of abstract and geometric representation for fire, sun, moon, earth, water, and the yin-yang symbol.
The flag of Mongolia is divided into three vertical bands of red on the outer stripes and blue in the middle. On the red stripe along the hoist side, the soyombo, the national symbol of Mongolia, is positioned in yellow. The soyombo symbol is a character in the Mongolian script and is also found on the coat of arms of Mongolia. The red on the flag symbolize Mongolia's strength and harsh environment. The blue symbolizes the blue sky.
The sun and moon symbolize the universe and are believed by Mongolians to be the mother (sun) and father (moon) of their nation. The triangles pointing at the ground are arrowheads and represent Mongolian's willingness to defend their nation. The horizontal rectangles stand for honesty, justice, and righteousness. The middle circle can be interpreted as the Buddhist yin and yang symbol, which represents complementary opposite forces existing together in the universe - such as positive and negative, male and female, passive and active, fire and water, etc.
The national emblem is a combination of geometric depictions of the sun, moon, earth, water and the Taijitu (also known as the yin-yang) fashioned in a pillar composition. This flag was used beginning on February 12, 1992. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Mongolian flag for the future.
