Island Nation Flags Quiz – Flags of Island Nations

Island nations often use flags full of sea and sky symbolism. Blues and aquamarines represent the ocean, while stars, suns and moons point to navigation and the open sky.

Some flags show the islands themselves, like Cyprus's map or the Philippines' stars for its island groups. Others carry colonial history, like Fiji's Union Jack, or honors earned, like Malta's George Cross.

Island flags also celebrate local nature and faith, from Sri Lanka's bo leaves to Dominica's parrot. Studying them is a great way to learn about the cultures and histories of island countries.
