The tricolor design of this African nation’s flag was inspired by that of France, the country that once ruled it. Located at the westernmost point on the continent, it surrounds Gambia on three sides. Which of these countries is it?

It is generally accepted that the green stripe represents the Islamic faith that is followed by 94% of Senegal's people. The yellow is "the symbol of wealth; it represents the product of work, for a nation whose main priority is the progress of economy which will allow the increase of the cultural level, the second national priority." The red stripe is to represent "the color of blood, therefore the color of life and the sacrifice accepted by the nation, and also of the strong determination to fight against underdevelopment."
