The flag of the Marshall Islands consists of a blue background with two stripes running diagonally from the lower hoist-side corner to the upper fly-side corner. The top stripe is orange, and the bottom stripe is white. In the center of the flag is a large white star with 24 points, representing the 24 municipalities of the Marshall Islands.
The flag was officially adopted on May 1, 1979, when the Marshall Islands gained independence from the United States, which had administered the islands as part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.
The blue background of the flag represents the Pacific Ocean, on which the Marshall Islands are located. The orange and white stripes symbolize the two main island chains of the country, the Ratak and Ralik chains. The 24-pointed star represents the numerous islands and atolls that make up the Marshall Islands.
Overall, the flag of the Marshall Islands is symbolic of the country's history, geography, and identity as a sovereign nation in the Pacific region.
