Flag: Tonga 🇹🇴
Copy & Meaning

The flag of Tonga — the only Pacific nation that was never fully colonized by a European power (remaining formally independent throughout the colonial era as a protectorate). Tonga's 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai underwater volcanic eruption was the largest recorded in modern history, generating a tsunami and sonic boom heard around the world.

Tonga is an emerging rugby power. Used for Pacific island royalty, the 2022 volcanic eruption, rugby culture, and the distinction of uncolonized Pacific sovereignty.
