Cameroon swapped two stars for one in 1975, the year it became a unitary state, leaving a single gold star centered on the red band of its green-red-yellow flag. Officials call it the star of unity, with green for the southern forests and yellow for the northern sun and savanna. The flag shows up constantly at Indomitable Lions matches.
