Tuvalu

Adopted in 1997, the current flag of Tuvalu features a light blue background with the Union Jack in the canton and nine yellow stars on the fly side. The stars are arranged in a geographical pattern representing the positions of Tuvalu's nine islands, and the blue background symbolizes the Pacific Ocean.
Tuvalu briefly replaced this flag in 1995 with one that removed the Union Jack, but popular demand led to restoring the current design in 1997.
Adopted: 1997
