The Baltic countries used to have a Swedish speaking population early this century.

The flag described by Andersson was proposed in 1992, but I am unsure whether this means there are still native Swedish speakers to be represented by the flag. Anyway, the flag (1) is yellow-red-white, in proportions 16 : 25,6 (6-1-2-1-6 : 7,6-1-2-1-14). The colours come from the flags of the Nordic countries with closest ties to the area (Denmark, Finland and Sweden).

An earlier proposal (2) was yellow-blue-white.
