Jordan
Its length shall be twice its width. It shall be divided horizontally into three parallel equal stripes, the uppermost of which shall be black; the center, white; and the lowest, green. At the end of the flag-staff, it shall have a red triangle, the base of which shall be equal to its width, and its height shall be equal to half of its length. In this triangle there shall be a white seven-pointed star of such an area that may absorbed in a circle the diameter of which shall be one-fourteenth of its length; and shall be so placed that its middle shall be at the intersection of the lines bisecting the angles of the triangle, and the axis running through one of its points shall be parallel to the base of the triangle.
Editor's note: The star dimensions are not specified. Other constructions are varied in their
approach. Using an inner circle half the diameter of the outer one feels
reasonable. A 7x3 pentagram feels too skinny; a 7x4 too fat.
Many other constructions use a lighter red. The darker hue used here is the
latest I can find specified by a government source ... and I also happen to
like it better. Interestingly, using approximations for the Pantone
specifications better match the colors in the document than converting from
the given CMYK.
