New Caledonia Flag
New Caledonia, a French overseas territory, currently has two flags. Prior to 2010, the only flag used to represent New Caledonia was the French tricolor, a tricolor with three vertical stripes of blue (hoist side), white, and red, known colloquially as the French Tricolor or simply the Tricolor.
In July 2010, the New Caledonian Congress opted to fly the Kanak flag of the independence movement FLNKS alongside the French Tricolor. This judgment, which is not legally binding, sparked debate. Currently, the majority of New Caledonian communes display both flags, but not all, with the remainder just flying the French Tricolor.

Country information
New Caledonia is an archipelago located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, east of Australia. It is an overseas territory of France, with a unique blend of French and Melanesian culture. The archipelago is made up of a main island, Grande Terre, and several smaller islands, and is known for its stunning beaches, coral reefs, and mountainous landscape.
The history of New Caledonia dates back thousands of years, with the first human settlements dating back to at least 1000 BC.
