about 30% of the worlds national flags are considered tribands. Sometimes the bands are three different colors (tricolor), but some have just two colors with one of the colors between bands of another color. Often additional symbols are imposed on top of one or more of the bands. The Canadian flag is a triband, with the maple leaf over the center white band . France has a three color triband without any extra decoration called the Tricolour . A triband that has a thin bands of another color between the major bands is called a fimbriated tricolor or triband and in a few cases the bands are not horizontal or vertical but rather on the diagonal. Both these variations are seen on the flags of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania .
