Building on previous work:

A regular pentagram

has golden triangles for points.

There are five of them,

and if you peel them back,

and wrap them around a regular hexagon,

and add one more point,

you end up with a Chicago star.

   Yes, but what municipal values do your star points symbolize?

   The DC flag (w/sucky five-point stars) is scalable by congressional mandate. The proportions of the design are prescribed in terms of the hoist. “The three five-pointed stars have a diameter of 2/10 of the hoist and are spaced equidistant in the fly dimension of the flag.”
