The
colours of the flag of Monaco originate from the House of Grimaldi, who were
the founders of the current principality. Red and white are the traditional
colours of the House of Grimaldi, thus resulting in the two colours being
represented on the national flag of Monaco. The red symbolises the flesh of the
human body and the white represents the purity of the soul. The flag was first
considered to be Monaco’s national flag in 1881, but the traditional colours
can be traced back to 1339.
Monaco
is a small independent state, surrounded by France on land and is located on
the northern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. It is the second smallest
independent state in the world, measuring approximately 2km2 in
size. Despite its small size, Monaco has a population of around 38,100 people.
The combination of its size and population makes it the most densely populated
country on Earth. In Monaco, the official language is French, although
Monéqasque, English and Italian are also commonly spoken.
The
country of Monaco hosts the famous Monaco Grand Prix, with the Circuit de
Monaco taking the drivers around almost the entire country. The grand prix has
been raced every year since 1950, with the exception of 2020. Monaco is home to
a number of F1 drivers, whose wealth is not out of place amongst other
residents. Approximately, 1 in 3 residents of Monaco are considered
millionaires. The large amount of wealthy people has also helped in Monaco
having the world’s highest average life expectancy, which is 85.8 years.
Finally, the majority of Monaco’s residents are not Monégasque, with only 21.6%
of the population being Monégasque.
