"Siberia" usually refers to the asian part of Russia,
sensu strictu not including the Russian Far-East, on the pacific rim.
Currently the russian government somewhat recognizes Siberia as two of the
level “economic regions”, in which the first order
divisions are aggregated: Western Siberia is made up of
Altay,
Altay Territory,
Kemerovo Region,
Novosibirsk Region,
Omsk Region,
Tomsk Region and
Tyumen Region (including
Yugra and
Yamal); while
Eastern Siberia is made up of
Buriatia,
Chita Region (including
Agin Buriatia),
Irkutsk Region (including
Ust-Ord Buriatia)
Khakassia,
Krasnoyarsk Territory (including
Evenkia and
Taymyr) and
Tuva.
The Far East economic region, also a part of Siberia (sensu lato),
is made up of
Amur Territory,
Chukotka,
Jewish Autonomous Region,
Kamchatka Region (including
Koryakia),
Khabarovsk Territory,
Magadan Region,
Maritime Territory,
Sakhalina Territory and
Yakutia.

White and green are the traditional siberian colours since approx. 1918
Victor Lomantsov, 11 Apr 2000
Various official republics within the Siberian region, as well as a
number of unofficial groupings, have adopted flags in the traditional Siberian
colours of white over green. This colour combination forms the basis of a
distinctive “family” of flags, just as red, white and blue stripes are
associated with the Slavs and red, green, yellow and/or black form the
pan-African colours.
In its “pure” form, the white over green flag is used by separatists. The
colours stand for the the snows and the taiga (forests) of Siberia and are
believed to date back to 1865.

This is less known and less used flag, than
diagonal white-green.

This flag was flown briefly (1917-18) by the
autonomous government of Siberia.
Stuart Notholt, 13 Oct 1995
An unofficial grouping, the United States of Northern Asia uses the
same flag, but with the addition of five blue stars.
Stuart Notholt, 13 Oct 1995
This flag, with medium blue stars, is listed under number 129 at the
chart Flags of Aspirant Peoples [eba94]
as: «United States of North Asia - Siberia».
