flag: Nauru

Nauru is a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean. Its flag has a blue background with a yellow star.

One of the smallest countries in the world, Nauru is known for its phosphate mines. It's a place with beautiful beaches and coral reefs.

Nauru's flag was adopted in 1968 upon its independence. The blue represents the Pacific Ocean, the white stripe below the yellow star represents the Equator, and the twelve points of the star symbolize the twelve original tribes.

Once the world's richest country due to phosphate exports, Nauru has undergone significant changes after resource depletion. It is now focusing on environmental protection and tourism development, and is actively addressing the issue of rising sea levels caused by climate change.
