"The flag of Nauru showcases a blue backdrop, representing the vast Pacific Ocean that envelops the island. At its center is a prominent 12-pointed yellow star, which signifies the 12 original tribes of Nauru.

Above the star runs a horizontal yellow stripe, symbolizing the Equator. The star’s position below this stripe highlights Nauru's geographical location just south of the Equator.

Blue

Beyond the immediate representation of the Pacific Ocean, the blue also alludes to the maritime heritage of the Nauruan people, many of whom historically depended on the ocean for sustenance and trade.

Additionally, the blue encapsulates the mysteries and wonders of the deep sea, a realm that has been an integral part of Nauruan folklore and tales.

Yellow

This radiant shade of yellow serves as a reminder of the sun’s rays, which nourish the island and play a crucial role in its tropical climate.

Furthermore, the color embodies the resilience and fortitude of the Nauruan tribes, who have navigated challenges together, shining bright like the yellow star they symbolize.

White

Apart from its geographical significance, the white color also encapsulates the clarity and openness of the Nauruan sky. Furthermore, white is a color that signifies new beginnings, possibly representing Nauru’s aspirations for growth and a prosperous future." (source: mappr)
