The colors are taken from
Argentina but instead of a triband they are repeated in nine
stripes that represent the nine original provinces of the country.
It might as well has been inspired from the Stars & Stripes.
The sun in the canton is the famous Sun of May, symbol of freedom
from Spain. The present pattern was adopted on 11 JULY 1830.
capital : MONTEVIDEO
