Samoa Flag
Samoa's flag represents the country's identity and history. It was initially used on February 24, 1949, during the time of UN trusteeships, and has been used continuously since the country's independence on January 1, 1962. The flag has a red background with a blue rectangle in the canton.
The Southern Cross constellation is represented by four massive white stars and one smaller star in the blue rectangle. The stars of the Southern Cross represent God's guidance in Samoa's political and spiritual life. The Official Flag and National Anthem of Samoa Act of 1994 governs the design of the flag.
When the flag is raised or lowered in public, it is regarded a symbol of national pride, and respect is required. When the flag is raised or lowered, individuals and vehicles are required by law to stop and remain stationary until the performance is completed. Any act of defacing or disrespecting the flag is punished by up to six months in prison.
