The flag of the United Empire of Inglo-Scotia, sometimes called the Imperial Jack or the Cross of St. Tobias, was adopted in 1607 by Emperor Tobias I to reflect the newly united Empire of Ingland and Scotia.
The flag's design features the flag of the Kingdom of Ingland, a blue Cross of St. George on white, super-imposed on the design of the flag of the Kingdom of Scotia, a white Cross of St. Andrew on red. The flag has unofficially been called the Cross of St. Tobias, named after Emperor Tobias I, who would later be canonized by the Inglo-Scotian Communion Church.
