About the flag

The flag depicted is that of Belize, a Central American nation known for its stunning coastal waters and biodiversity. The flag features a blue field with red stripes at the top and bottom, symbolizing the two major political parties, while the emblem in the center showcases a woodcutter and a sailor, representing the country's logging and maritime industries. Belize gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1981, and its flag was officially adopted in 1988. To remember the flag, note the unique central emblem that highlights Belize's cultural heritage and industry. The colors blue and red are distinct among flags in the Americas, making Belize's flag easier to identify.
