About the flag

The two diagonal stripes stand for the country’s two island chains, Ratak (sunrise) and Ralik (sunset), and the 24-pointed star represents its municipalities.

How to spot it: Blue with orange and white diagonal stripes that widen toward the upper fly, and a large white many-pointed star in the top corner.
