The flag of the Federated States of Micronesia is a sky-blue flag with four stars in the middle. While the blue field represents the Pacific Ocean, the four five-pointed white stars symbolize the countries in the federation. The height-to-width ratio in the flag is 10:19, and the flag was adopted on November 30, 1978.
Its emblem features a sprouted coconut floating in the ocean, the main product of the islands, and refers to the fact that many islands in the Pacific are overgrown with palm trees sprouting with coconuts that wash ashore.
