Where in the world?
The flag of Kiribati is red in the upper half with a gold frigatebird flying over a gold rising sun, and the lower half is blue with three horizontal wavy white stripes to represent the ocean and the three archipelagoes (Gilbert, Phoenix and Line Islands). The 17 rays of the sun represent the 16 Gilbert Islands and Banaba (former Ocean Island).
The Yellow Frigatebird symbolises command over the sea, freedom, and dance patterns. The blue and white wavy bands represent the Pacific Ocean, which surrounds Kiribati and the sun refers to Kiribati’s position astride the Equator.
The badge as designed by Sir Arthur Grimble in 1931 for the Gilbert and Ellice Islands British colony and granted in 1937.
