Tonga

The national flag of Tonga consists of a red field with a white canton bearing a red Greek cross. The red cross symbolizes Christianity, the white field represents purity, and the red background stands for the sacrifice of Christ. The flag reflects the Kingdom of Tonga's strong Christian heritage.

Tonga officially adopted its current national flag on November 4, 1875, alongside the nation's constitution. The design has remained unchanged ever since, and the constitution specifies that the flag must never be altered.
