Saint Kitts and Nevis

About the flag

Correct: Saint Kitts and Nevis. The two white stars represent the federation’s two islands and the ideals of hope and liberty. Colors carry meaning: green for fertile land, red for the struggle of the past, black for African heritage, and yellow for the sunshine. The flag was adopted in 1983, the year the nation gained independence from the United Kingdom. Remember it this way: two bright stars = two islands. Saint Kitts and Nevis is the smallest sovereign state in the Western Hemisphere and is known for the UNESCO-listed Brimstone Hill Fortress and its historic sugar industry.
