Story

The flag of Micronesia is a beautiful light blue, just like the vast Pacific Ocean that surrounds the islands. In the center, four white stars shine brightly, each representing one of the main island groups: Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae. This flag was adopted in 1978, symbolizing the unity and identity of the Micronesian people. Imagine sailing across the ocean, with the sun shining above and the stars guiding your way home. Each star tells a story of adventure and connection among the islands, making it a special symbol for everyone in Micronesia.
