The national flag of Gladomyr is a vertical consisting of an orange, white, and navy stripe, in order from left to right. The simplified coat of arms of Gladomyr is placed in the center of the white stripe. The three colors are defined by the Constitution of Gladomyr (Prinsiipenė for Kongėdömer) and are the national colors of the country. A lesser used variant of the Myrish flag includes the old coat of arms of Gladomyr in place of the simplified arms in the white stripe, though this flag is generally reserved for official diplomatic use abroad and at sea. Another variant flag lacking the coat of arms totally is used as the of Gladomyr, and predates the national flag.

Orange and navy have long been associated with the Unified Kingdoms of Gladomyr. Since the middle ages, the orange and navy colors have been emphasized on Myrish heraldic royal banners. The origin of their usage can be traced to the tinctures of the Kingdoms of Pärhula and Denkev during the age of cities, both having predominant orange and navy banners. The unification of the four Myrish kingdoms would further emphasize this, with two out of the four kingdom flags bearing one or both of the colors. The white, also sometimes referred to as silver, was added later on in the flag's history. First appearing on the naval ensign, the white band soon spread to the national flag as well, and soon found its spot among the country's national colors.

The Myrish flag is to be flown continuously outside all governmental buildings or facilities, including those abroad. Other institutions, including many Myrish citizens, fly the national flag on national holidays or other special occasions of national significance. Current Myrish law does not restrict the use of the old Myrish flag in both civil and governmental cases, so long as the flag is not desecrated or otherwise disrespected. Since 1961, Flag Day is to be celebrated every May 12 and is considered a national holiday.

The Myrish flag's proportions are 3:5, which is a relatively common ratio for flags. Other notable flags which share the same proportions include Gemurtrak, Riyata, and Ordrey. The usage of orange and navy as national colors are also not unique to Gladomyr. Ta'aroha bears a similar flag to Gladomyr, though lacking a central white stripe.
