Åland Islands
territoriesblueyellowred
The Åland Islands flag features a blue background with a red-bordered yellow Nordic cross. The design places the Swedish flag's blue-and-yellow cross over the Finnish national colours, reflecting the islands' Swedish-speaking population within Finland. It was officially adopted in 1954.
The Åland Islands are an autonomous, demilitarised region of Finland where the sole official language is Swedish. The flag's design neatly expresses this dual identity — Swedish colours within a Finnish framework.
Adopted: 1954
