The red/vermillion field represents the revolution. The central star casting golden beams of light represents Marksist thought as a source of light which cuts through the darkness of greed, chaos and ignorance. The exact number of beams - 16 - also represents the 16 constituent regions of the Republic. The middle of the star bears a circular shield depicting the insignia of Republic and the Vermillion Vanguard party - a horseshoe and three stalks of wheat. The horseshoe representing manual labor, while the wheat represents agriculture but also the unity of the three pony races, as well as the three elements of the working class - the industrial proletariat, the farmers and the intelligentsia/magi.
