Tonga flag

Tonga's flag is a red field with a white canton in the upper left corner, charged with a red couped cross. This flag's design was approved in 1875, and it has served as the official flag of the Kingdom of Tonga ever since. The design of the flag is based on the country's Christian background, with the red field and red cross signifying the Christian religion.

The design of the flag is protected by the nation's constitution, which specifies that the national flag can never be changed, making it one of the oldest national flags in the world.
