Display and use

Vertical flag, as specified in Section 3 of the Article I.

There are no federal laws governing the display or use although there are official protocols regarding the flag for observation by government officials and bodies.

According to protocols, for government buildings, the flag must be flown continuously year-round during the daytime and at night provided it is properly lit at its display site. The flag should never touch the ground or another object, should never be stepped on, should never be used as an attire, tool, or disposable item, and should be maintained in good shape. The use of the Rioblancoan flag or seal on merchandise which has not been authorized by the government is prohibited. The flag may be properly discarded by burning if it has become damaged enough.

During times of mourning, remembrance, or emergency, the flag is flown as half-mast.

In case the flag needs to be displayed vertically, it is encouraged that a vertical version of the flag be displayed instead of using the normal flag. The vertical flag properly centers the stars in relation to the flag; therefore, it may not be displayed horizontally.
