Flag: Cocos (Keeling) Islands 🇨🇨
Copy & Meaning

The flag of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, a small Australian territory in the Indian Ocean made up of 27 coral islands. It features a green field with a yellow Southern Cross constellation, a crescent moon symbolizing the Muslim majority population, and a stylized palm tree representing the abundant coconut palms that gave the islands their name. With a population of only around 600 people, mostly of Cocos Malay descent, this remote territory is a tropical paradise known for crystal-clear waters and world-class diving.

Privately owned by the Clunies-Ross family for over 150 years, the islands officially joined Australia in 1984. Located 2,750 km northwest of Perth, they are among the most remote inhabited places on Earth, blending Australian governance with traditional Cocos Malay culture.
