Flag of Solomon Islands

🎨 What the flag means

The flag of Solomon Islands is split by a thin yellow diagonal stripe into a blue top and a green bottom. Blue stands for water, like rivers, rain and the ocean. Green stands for the land and its trees and crops, and yellow for the sun. The five white stars first stood for the country's five provinces at independence.
