Flag of Marshall Islands
Marshall Islands are located in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean and the base of their flag is a dark blue sheet. From the lower left corner of the sheet, rays of white and orange color are gradually expanding towards the upper right corner. On the left side of the flag, a white star with four long and twenty shorter rays are placed. Twenty-four rays represent the same number of administrative districts of islands and the long beams are referring to the Christian tradition in the islands and four local largest cities. The orange color of the upper bar indicates the wealth of islands, while white represents hope. Dark blue background evokes the Pacific Ocean that surrounds the islands.
