Ambassador flag as shown on Flaggenbuch [neu39] and Flag of All Nations [hms58]. I am not sure if this is
still in use.

I then found an image of this flag at <www.clipartreview.com>,
but that image doesn't look all that modern either. Apart from
the fact that the image uses really dark blue, I also noticed
that it appeared to align the stars on the diagonal, so I then
made the stars align even more. The result still looks a bit
curious, but I guess that's because the stars are aligned on the
diagonal, but their points are not aligned to follow that
diagonal. Changing the ratio would help, but for the military
rank flags, the five-pointed stars do align on 2:3.

Originally I read "Minister President", which would
be quite different. One would expect the last one to have only
one star, but maybe there's a link with military ranking.

Minister Resident (old pattern - one star) - mentioned as the
flag of "Minister 2nd Class" on Flags of All Nations
(1915 edition) [hms58]; probably
became obsolete after World War I when Ministers Resident began
to use the two-star flag of Envoys.
