Morocco

The flag of Morocco is made of a red field with a black-bordered green interwoven star. Rachid Sbihi, a Moroccan historian and numismatic specialist, says that the decision taken then, was to keep the red-only flag as a symbol for the Royal Makhzen while the national flag would bear a 6-branch green star in its center. It would stay like this until the royal Dahir of 1915 would for ever change the 6-branch star to a 5-branch star.
