Mauritius

About the flag

Mauritius is correct. Its flag is easy to distinguish because it’s just four horizontal color bands without emblems—unlike Algeria’s crescent and star, Ethiopia’s star disk, or Burundi’s stars on a white saltire. The colors symbolize the nation’s story: red for the struggle for freedom, blue for the surrounding Indian Ocean, yellow for the light of independence, and green for the island’s lush land. Quick context and memory tip: Mauritius is a multicultural island nation east of Madagascar, once home to the famous dodo. Think “Ocean and Sunshine on a Green Island after a Red struggle”: blue (sea) and yellow (sun) between red (independence) on top and green (vegetation/sugarcane) at the bottom.
