The National Flag
The blue field represents the Pacific Ocean, the yellow stripe marks Nauru's position just south of the equator, and the white 12-pointed star symbolises the 12 original tribes. The design is simple, memorable and deeply tied to identity.
🌟 "God's Will First"
The national motto appears on the coat of arms alongside symbols of governance, phosphate history and the frigate bird — all central to modern Nauruan identity.
