Coat of Arms
Our current coat of arms was adopted in 2012, and is the third to have been used. It uses a highway shield design divided into four.

Flag
Our flag was adopted in 2010, and was finally committed to fabric in November 2014. In the Siroccan language, it is known as 'en Trirfaub', literally 'the three colours'.
Green represents the environment, red the strength of the nation, and blue the economy and people of Sirocco. Some have suggested that in the future a new flag may be designed for Sirocco, possibly using the Cambrian cross or an Atomic Age-inspired design. Opinions are divided, and the tricolour will likely grace the flagpoles of the nation for some time yet. |
Numbat
Sirocco's national animal is the numbat. A marsupial found in Western Australia, it is a peculiar choice for a micronation that has not had territory in Australia since 2011. It was chosen for its uniqueness, and to highlight its endangered status. A numbat also featured as a main character in a Maran-era comic strip.

Kingfisher
Sirocco's national bird is the kingfisher (sacred kingfisher pictured). These birds are found across New Zealand, and are often observed in Sirocco's northern provinces.
|
Hibiscus
Sirocco's national flower is the hibiscus. A staple of tropical destinations, the hibiscus is found in a number of places across northern Sirocco, and has historically featured on former coats of arms and currency.

Manhattan SpiritualSirocco's national anthem is Manhattan Spiritual, by British band-leader Reg Owen. Chosen for its pleasant melody and compilation in the late 1950s, the song was adopted on Trinity Day 70 (16 July 2015), replacing Shelter, by Australian artist John Williamson, adopted in late 2010.
