Flag of Niue

🎨 What the flag means

Niue's flag is golden yellow, standing for Niue's bright sunshine and the warm feelings of its people toward New Zealand. The Union Jack in the corner recalls protection by the United Kingdom. Four small stars form the Southern Cross for the link with New Zealand, and the big star in a blue circle stands for the deep blue sea around Niue.
