| Notes: |
First introduced on August 16th 1960, the National flag of Cyprus consists of an orange silhoutte of the island with 2 olive branches all on a white background.
It is fairly obvious that the white and the olive branches represent peace, but the orange reflects the large amount of copper ore that is present on the island.
Cyprus is the only nation that has the shape of its land mass depicted on it's national flag.
