Kiribati National Flag

The flag of Kiribati was adopted in 1979 which was the same year the country gained independence from the United Kingdom. In the same year the name was changed from the Gilbert Islands to Kiribati. Although, Kiribati is just the local spelling and pronunciation of Gilberts. The blue and white waves making up the bottom half of the flag represent the Pacific Ocean where the country is located. The three groups of islands; Gilbert, Phoenix and Line are represented by the three white stripes. The 17 rays of the sun portray the 16 Kiribati islands as well as Banaba, which is an ocean island. The bird located above the sun is a frigate bird, which represents the strength and command of the ocean and additionally power and freedom.

Within Kiribati’s islands and atolls there is a population of approximately 131,232 people, with around half living in the capital South Tarawa.
