About the flag

The flag is a map: the yellow line is the equator and the white star just below it shows Nauru’s spot just south of it, with 12 points for the island’s 12 original tribes.

How to spot it: Dark blue with a thin horizontal yellow line through the middle and a single white 12-pointed star below the line near the hoist.
