The flag of Nauru received its official recognition on January 31, 1968. The Nauru Flag was designed by a tenant engaged by Evans, an Australian flag company. The flag symbolizes the geographical position of the island country. The national flag of Nauru consists of a thin, horizontal yellow band which represents the Equator. The twelve- pointed white star on the flag signifies the twelve unique tribes of the nation. The blue field is symbolic of the vast Pacific Ocean and the infinite sky.
