🚩 Flag of Cook Islands

The national flag of the Cook Islands, officially known as the Cook Islands Ensign, is based on the traditional design for former British colonies in the Pacific region. It is a Blue Ensign containing the Union Jack in the upper left, and on the right, fifteen stars in a ring. The Union Jack is symbolic of the nation's historic ties to the United Kingdom and to the Commonwealth of Nations. The stars stand for the fifteen islands that make up the Cook Islands. The blue represents the ocean and the peaceful nature of the inhabitants.
