Green and white fill Algeria's flag in two vertical halves, joined at the center by a red crescent and star. Islam, the country's dominant faith, shows through the green and the crescent, while the red recalls the war for independence from France in the 1950s and 60s. It flies hardest around Algeria's Independence Day and big football nights.
