Saint Pierre and Miquelon Flag Information:

Though the French flag is officially used, Saint Pierre and Miquelon has quite a complex flag of its own, that nevertheless expresses the country's identity to the fullest. The rectangular flag is divided into two unequal parts. Most of the flag, in a square area to the right, is occupied by a golden-yellow ship facing left, riding on undulating waves of the same color, against a blue background. The rest of the flag that forms a vertical band to the extreme left is horizontally divided into three equal squares. The top part has an “Ikkurina”, which comprises of a red base with a diagonal cross on it, which in turn is superimposed by a white cross that further divides the square into four equal sections. The middle square has the pattern of Ermine on a white background.

The bottom has two black-outlined yellow lions, placed vertically, on a red base. These three is symbolic of Basque, Brittany and Normandy (top to bottom). though the French flag is officially used, Saint Pierre and Miquelon has quite a complex flag of its own, that nevertheless expresses the country's identity to the fullest.
