The Flag of Selengeria is a rectangle divided into four quadrants of white, gold, black, and crimson. The flag is officially called the "Great Banner of State" or Töriin Augaa Tug, but is more commonly known as the "Auspicious Banner" or Aztai Tug. It was revealed to the public for the first time and officially hoisted during the Proclamation of National Restoration on July 7th, 1930 at Songoson Square in Sukhbaatar.

The colours of the flag are derived from the famous white, yellow, and red tricolour flown by student protesters in Sukhbaatar during the abortive January 18th Revolution and the black Undserkheg banner flown during the Civil War. White represents the heavens, gold the emperor, black the Jonon and party, and red the people.

The use of flags and other identifying devices during battle has been recorded in Selengeria since at least the 5th century BCE. The earliest recorded examples of these were simple single-colour pennants used to signal commands.

The Narangol introduced the widespread use of heraldic design and flags to modern-day Selengeria. These flags were typical long rectangular banners charged with the Sulde or crest of the house the bearer belonged to. Members of the same family, such as a son, father, and brother, as well the generals and commanders under them, had different flags to carry into battle. The flags served as identification and were displayed by soldiers on their backs and horses.

Khaanyn Duulal is the official anthem of Selengeria and the official honours music of the monarch. As the emperor is rarely seen in public though, Khaanyn Duulal is typically only played on national holidays or during imperial processions.

The Dasanjanids used music for various ceremonies, but never had official anthems representing the country. By the end of the nineteenth century, however, Selengeria was constantly in contact with foreign countries and started to require a national anthem "for diplomatic convenience."
