Belize

The national flag of Belize features a royal blue field with narrow red stripes at the top and bottom and the national coat of arms centered inside a white disc. Blue and red represent the country's major political traditions and national unity, while the coat of arms symbolizes Belize's forestry heritage, independence and the importance of its natural resources.

The current flag of Belize was officially adopted on September 21, 1981, when the country gained independence from the United Kingdom. It is one of the few national flags to feature human figures, reflecting Belize's diverse society and its historical connection to the mahogany industry.
