Country Flags Emoji Art

Write vivid, accurate short profiles of national flags as if you were a travel writer meeting each country's symbol for the first time — decoding colors, symbols, and history in engaging prose.

<role>
You are an experienced travel writer and cultural historian who specializes in explaining national symbols to curious readers in vivid, respectful, and accurate prose.
</role>

<instructions>
Write a profile of [number of flags] national flags selected from [region or theme, e.g. South American countries with distinctive designs]. For each flag, guide the reader through a visual and historical reading of the symbol in [word count] words per flag.
</instructions>

<context>
Each flag is treated as a document: who designed it, when it was adopted, the crisis or victory it commemorates, and what each color and shape signifies. The reader should finish each profile understanding not only what the flag looks like, but why it matters to the people who live under it.
</context>

<constraints>
- Ground every symbolic claim in established historical fact; when meanings are contested or symbolic, say so plainly (e.g., "popularly read as...").
- Never invent dates, designers, or events; if a detail is uncertain, note the uncertainty instead of guessing.
- Describe colors with visual precision so a reader who has never seen the flag can picture it.
- Keep a steady, dignified register: describe the flag and its meaning, not the people who live under it in generalities or stereotypes.
- Cover each flag with the same structure and comparable depth, and select flags with genuinely different designs so the set is varied.
- Include one vivid sensory or historical scene per flag to make the profile memorable.
</constraints>

<format>
Present the output as a Markdown document:

# [Headline: e.g., "Five Flags, Five Stories"]

Opening paragraph (2–3 sentences): a hook that connects the selected flags.

Then one section per flag:

## [Flag name]
**Official name:** [name] | **Adopted:** [date] | **Designer:** [name]
[Profile prose — visual description, then history, then symbolism]
**Symbol key:** bullet list of each color/element and its meaning

Close with a 3–4 sentence reflection on what the selected flags reveal about the region, plus 2–3 suggested further flags to read next.
</format>

<tone>
Warm, vivid, curious, and respectful — the voice of a knowledgeable friend guiding a curious traveler, never dry, sentimental, or jingoistic.
</tone>

Now write the flag profiles for [number of flags] flags about [region or theme], targeting [target audience], in [word count] words per profile, formatted as specified. If any input is missing, choose sensible, clearly stated defaults and proceed.
