Northern Mariana Islands Flag - Commonwealth of the

The Flag of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands was adopted on July 4, 1976.

In common with other states of the Pacific, such as the Marshall Islands and Nauru, the flag for the Northern Mariana Islands is a blue field bearing a white star. The blue field is taken from the flag of the United Nations who inspired the young nation when it was a UN Trust Territory. Blue also is symbolic of the Commonwealth's political union with the United States which began on January 1, 1978. The symbol behind the white star is a latte stone, a Chamorro house foundation.

The decorative wreath or mwarmwar was added in 1981, and maintains the link between the islands and its sacred history and customs. This one flag unites the many islands which comprise the Northern Marianas.
