Flag of Europe

If you want to create a vector Flag of Europe then you should use the official geometric description:

The emblem is in the form of a blue rectangular flag of which the fly is one and a half times the length of the hoist. Twelve gold stars situated at equal intervals form an invisible circle whose centre is the point of intersection of the diagonals of the rectangle. The radius of the circle is equal to one-third of the height of the hoist. Each of the stars has five points which are situated on the circumference of an invisible circle whose radius is equal to one-eighteenth of the height of the hoist. All the stars are upright - that is to say, with the one point vertical and two points in a straight line at right angles to the mast. The circle is arranged so that the stars appear in the position of the hours on the face of a clock. Their number is invariable.

It's easier to imagine with the image with geometric markings. Of course, the problem is now that I know the above, I'm spotting all these wrong flags...


D'oh!

Great, now I'm going to be looking for errors every time I see the flag. Thanks a lot ;)
