Flag of Vanuatu

🎨 What the flag means

Vanuatu's flag has red and green halves joined by a yellow Y-shape, which follows the shape of the islands on the map. Green stands for the islands' richness, red for the blood that unites all people, and black for the ni-Vanuatu people. A curled boar's tusk stands for prosperity, and two crossed namele leaves are a sign of peace.
