Meaning & history of the Palau flag

Palau's flag is light blue with a large golden-yellow disc set slightly off-centre toward the hoist. The blue represents the Pacific Ocean and the nation's transition to self-government, and the disc is the full moon, considered by Palauans the best time for fishing, harvesting and celebration — a symbol of peace, love and tranquillity. It was adopted in 1981.
