Mexico - Baja California

The Baja California Peninsula is divided into two states, Baja California del Norte and Baja California del Sud. The states of Mexico don't have their own flags, although they do have coats of arms.

I found an article about the emblems in the text of the constitution of the Mexican state of Baja California del Norte. Here is a translation of it (the original text is in Spanish, so I could have made some mistakes in the translation):

Chapter 3: About the official symbols.
Art 6: The national flag, the national hymn and the national coat-of-arms are the obligatory symbols in the whole state, but this one can have its own coat-of-arms. It won't have any other official flags, hymns or coat-of-arms. The usage of the National symbols is subject to the dispositions of the federal ordinances.

So Baja California (North) doesn't have any flag.
