The Flag of Palau is the national flag of the island country of Palau, located in the western Pacific Ocean. Adopted on October 24, 1978, it consists of a field of light blue representing the Pacific Ocean and sky, with a wide white stripe that runs from the hoist to the fly side. Within this white band is a red disk (or "sun") inscribed with five large, five small, and 24 smaller stars, symbolizing the Palauan tradition of matrilineal society. The flag design reflects the importance of tradition, family, and unity among the people of Palau. The number 24 represents the original 24 states that make up Palau, while the five larger stars represent the five states within each of the four traditional regions of the country. The smaller stars signify the individual communities within these states. The Flag of Palau serves as a visual representation of the nation's identity and cultural heritage, inspiring pride among its citizens and serving as a symbol of their independence and sovereignty.
