Flag of Papua New Guinea
The flag of Pauy-New Guinea is considered one of the most beautiful and remarkable flags. It is divided by a diagonal into two triangular parts – black at the bottom and red at the top. In addition, there are five five-pointed stars in the lower part, which, similar to the flags of Australia and New Zealand, depict the constellation of the Southern Cross. The red part of the flag is dominated by the golden silhouette of the paradise, which is the national symbol of the country. The colors red, yellow and black have long been used by the indigenous population to decorate folk art objects. The flag was adopted in 1971 – that is, four years before the official independence.
According to Abbreviation Finder, Papua New Guinea is the third largest island nation in the world after Indonesia and Madagascar. It is located in the Pacific, is part of the Australian continent and includes the east of the island of New Guinea (the western part, West Papua, belongs to Indonesia) as well as several offshore islands and archipelagos. See Papua New Guinea Location on World Map. New Guinea itself is the second largest island in the world and is extensively surrounded by numerous archipelagos, which can be geographically divided into four main groups.
