New Zealand

The national flag of New Zealand features a dark blue field with the Union Jack in the canton and four red stars with white borders representing the Southern Cross constellation. The blue field symbolizes the Pacific Ocean and the sky, the Union Jack reflects historical ties to the United Kingdom, and the Southern Cross represents New Zealand's location in the South Pacific.

New Zealand officially adopted its current national flag on March 24, 1902. Derived from the colonial Blue Ensign, it has become an enduring symbol of the nation's heritage, maritime history and identity.
