History
The Quinticolor was first adopted by the People's Republic of Qonklaks in 1942. The colour of the second stripe was a deep black, unlike the modern dark grey. The top left corner was instead occupied by the symbol of the 88th Division, two u-shaped symbols.
The Quinticolor, being itself originally a military banner co-opted for the PRQ, was deemed to be ideologically inappropriate for a post-war nation committed to peace. A contest was held in September 1949 to design a new flag for the country. A total of 22 finalists was presented to Mheiq Ku, who initially selected Proposal 12 as he personally favoured the Quinticolor. However, pressure to align with worldwide cenonist movements compelled Mheiq Ku to eventually select Proposal 8, the Yellow Banner.
