Tuvalu

About the flag

The flag of Tuvalu features a blue field symbolizing the ocean, with nine yellow stars representing the eight main islands and the atoll of Nui. Each star highlights the country’s unique geography as a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean. Tuvalu is known for its stunning coral reefs and is one of the smallest and least visited countries in the world, making its flag an essential symbol of its cultural identity and national pride. To remember Tuvalu's flag, focus on the combination of the blue ocean and the nine stars, which distinguishes it from the similar flags of Vanuatu, Micronesia, and Fiji. The yellow stars are a reminder of Tuvalu’s vibrant marine life, while the simplicity of the design reflects the island nation's environmental beauty and its vulnerability to climate change.
