Brazil Flag: Meaning and History

History of the flag
Since the establishment of the Republic in 1889, the flag has changed very little.
The current version, featuring 27 stars (for Brazil's 27 states), dates back to 1992.
What do the elements of the flag mean?

‘Order and Progress' is the country's motto. The 27 stars refer to the night sky on the day the Republic was proclaimed, November 15, 1889.
For the Amazon, the lungs of our planet.
For the country's many resources.
