The flag for the fictional country of Cascadia.
The 🇨🇶 emoji depicts the flag of Cascadia, a proposed independent nation or bioregion encompassing parts of the Pacific Northwest, including areas of British Columbia (Canada), Washington, Oregon, and sometimes Northern California (USA). While not an officially recognized country, Cascadia symbolizes a cultural and ecological identity rooted in environmentalism, sustainability, and regional autonomy. The flag typically features a Douglas fir tree on a tricolor background of blue (sky/water), white (mountains/clouds), and green (forests). People use this emoji to express pride in Pacific Northwest heritage, support for environmental causes, or affiliation with the Cascadian independence movement. It’s also occasionally used in artistic, activist, or speculative contexts to represent alternative geopolitical ideas or regional solidarity.
