Gogrial State

The flag of Gogrial State has a green background with the state emblem placed in a large white disc in the centre as was seen at https://paanluelwel.com (no longer available).

The state was established by presidential decree on 2 October 2015, later revoked then disestablishing the state on 22 February 2020. It should be noted it did not receive a government until February 2016; it is likely it adopted its flag and emblem in 2016 as such.

Emblem

It is unclear if the Gogrial State is based on a county emblem which was created before the state's establishment in 2015 or its disestablishment in 2020 (Gogrial West uses the same format currently for its emblem; for Gogrial East it is unclear). Most likely, it is the first option. Especially historically, Gogrial (previously Kang Rial) was an area full of trees and filled with water. People apparently also marked trees when the water level dropped. As such, the state emblem depicts a palm tree in the center, with a ribbon underneath in green reading "GOGRIAL STATE".

A sporting flag version existed; it was a white field with the state emblem in the center. Above this, text read "GOGRIAL STATE" in green.
