A national emblem symbolically represents a nation. Most national emblems originate in the natural world, (as animals, say or birds), but another object may serve.

National emblems may appear on many thing such as the national flag, coat of arms, or other patriotic materials. One should not confuse a formal national emblem with less formal symbols potentially associated with tourism or clichés, for example windmills in the Netherlands. Even though, many unofficial symbols are as important as the official ones - or even more, since some of them are recognized as "symbols" by the people spontaneously, what may not happen with the official symbols. Official symbols are defined by law, which guarantee the proper use of them.
