has three vertical color stripes, 

green, white, and orange, left to right, 

while The Ivory Coast flag has the same three

See Us Citrus as Irish
by Bruce McMillan

Sunning on a snow high hill,
lime green and orange orange,
though quiet, chatting away,

gee,

Lime asks "Ever wonder why
we have an Irish accent?
"Nope. Talking up here you 'sleigh'

me."

"But really, why?" "No idea.
Let's simply enjoy the view
up here and flag that cliché,

see?
