"New Zealand"
New Zealand's red, white and blue flag recalls its historic links with Britain. Many former British colonies incoporate the ‘Union Jack’ on the hoist of their flag. New Zealand's flag features the stars of the Southern Cross constellation. The blue field represents the sky and the Pacific Ocean.
