There are 27 states that are completely west of the Original 13 Colonies, as defined by the western edge of Georgia. Thus there are 28 stripes on this flag, seven in each bar. The extra stripe is a fractional stripe that accounts for the states that teeter the line between the Old Colonial East and Western States.
This flag can be flown in any part of the US west of the 13 Colonies Meridian.
