Description a.k.a. European Free Trade Association . Its current flag must be changed by every change of members , what is nonsense. Thus I created this flag. It has basis in old flag of European federalists , which is currently unused. However, the color is changed to blue, because blue is symbol of freedom (F in EFTA is for "free"). Then I realized it is similar to blivet and started to improve it. Final version was not real blivet, but an object with two square and two round ends. The message behind it is this:

Freedom is paradox, because exists freedom to enslave. However, one's freedom must end when another's freedom starts. The boundary is not strong, neither is boundary between round and square part of this "blivet". Freedom (blue), neutrality (white) and growth (green) are not "enslaved" in logic, EFTA is not hierarchical organization, we are united only in free trade (smooth shape), but our internal affairs (cross-section of ends) are responsibility of members. We are Europe without forced unity, but we are together in harmony.

The upper left corner should be cut, this unusual shape of flag is another demonstration of "freedom".
