The Brazil flag contains a blue disk that represents the southern
sky as seen from Brazil. It shows 23 stars, one for each state
in the republic, that are arranged to mirror the constellations
overhead. The stars are even shown in five different sizes. It
also contains the motto, Ordem E Progresso which means, Order
and Progress. The yellow stands for the mineral wealth and the
green stands for the agricultural wealth of the country.
