The first flag was adopted by Country-Order of 19 November
1959, and had six stars. One star was dropped because Aruba left in 1986. The distance between the
centres of the two topmost stars is two-third of the width of the
blue stripe, likewise the distance between the centres of the two
bottommost stars. The distance between the imaginary line trough
the centres of the topmost stars and the imaginary line trough
the centres of the bottommost stars is five-ninth of the width of
the blue stripe. The centre of the leftmost star is located by
forming an equilateral triangle with the centres of the two stars
at the upperleft and bottomleft. Likewise the centre of the
rightmost star is located.
