The Flag of Super Earth, often referred to as the The White, Yellow, Blue, is the official national flag of the Federation of Super Earth.
Design[]
The flag of Super Earth is a 2:3 rectangular banner featuring a Blue (Hex Code: #41639C) field and a white-yellow (HEX CODES: #FFFFFF & #FFE900) emblem in the center.
The emblem consists of an azimuthal projection of Earth. In 2084, this projection was centered around the Caribbean, specifically on the Gulf of Mexico close to Sector 7, while in 2184, the flag was updated, now featuring an azimuthal projection of Earth centered on Prosperity City, the capital of the Federation (formerly called Stockholm). Both versions of this projection are in white.
Crowning said projection of Earth is a (possible) depiction of the Presidential Palace, which has been datamined but has never been shown in game.
As its supporter, there is a simplified yellow wreath, with a sequence of 7 starts right underneath, serving as its compartment.

Possible Meanings[]
Affectionately named "The White, Yellow, Blue" by the majority of the population, the Flag of Super Earth's design has many potential interpretations. Here, some of the most plausible have been listed.
According to traditional vexillology, the Blue field may represent the vastness of the cosmos, in which Super Earth stands at its center, serving as a beacon of hope, peace, Liberty and Prosperity that all other alien species should aspire to.
The white emblem may represent Super Earth's role as an agent of order and harmony, dispensing peace upon all planets and sectors within its reach, as well as serving as a reminder of its mission to pacify the galaxy so that mankind may exist in harmony and Managed Democracy.
The yellow wreath guarding Super Earth may represent the Prosperity which the Federation has provided its citizens, as well as the Prosperity it aims to disseminate across the known universe. It could also represent the Helldivers themselves, who are the guardians of humankind and heroes of Super Earth.
The 7 stars at the bottom of the emblem may represent each of the 7 Ministries of the Federation or the 7 Sectors on Super Earth, while the crowning symbol at the top could represent the President of Super Earth or the Democratic Council.
History[]
The first flag of Super Earth during the First Galactic War used a different emblem with no stars, a white wreath and centred on the Caribbean. This flag was most likely adopted upon the Proclamation of the Federation of Super Earth and, given the many decades that this conflict lasted, it was preserved due to convenience.
The second version of the flag has the seven stars in a straight line getting smaller for the centre instead of being curved around the globe, and there are also four towers at the top of the emblem instead of three. It can be seen at Main Objectives, houses, Extraction, the Helldivers 2 background, the Escalation of Freedom background and the Galactic War table.
The third version of the flag has no gold rings and was seen on the mission accomplished poster after the defeat of the Automaton Vanguard.
The fourth version of the flag is seen in the game's CGI intro; it has an altered emblem that is missing the Mediterranean Sea, which is likely an error as the Mediterranean can be seen on the World Map.
In Helldivers 1, during the Capture Area Objective, the flag used had the Helldiver colours with the Super Earth emblem in the middle.
With the addition of the Masters of Ceremony warbond, players can now equip and use the CQC-1 One True Flag and fly the White, Yellow, Blue proudly on the battlefield.
