Adopted in 1968 upon independence, the flag of Nauru features a blue background divided by a narrow gold horizontal stripe representing the equator. A white twelve-pointed star sits below the stripe in the lower left, symbolizing the island's twelve original tribes and its location one degree south of the equator.
Nauru's flag uniquely depicts the country's geographical position, with the gold stripe representing the equator and the star placed just below it, mirroring the island's actual location one degree south of the equator.
Adopted: 1968
