Oceanian Flags

Oceania's flags split cleanly into two visual families. The Australasian + Melanesian camp clusters around the Southern Cross constellation and Commonwealth-era blue ensigns: Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Tuvalu all carry a British-blue field with the Union Jack in the canton, distinguished by the precise star arrangement (Australia's seven-point Commonwealth star + Southern Cross; New Zealand's four red-on-white Southern Cross stars; Fiji's coat of arms; Tuvalu's nine yellow stars representing the country's nine islands). Papua New Guinea breaks the pattern with its diagonal split — black with the Southern Cross, red with the bird-of-paradise. The Pacific Island camp leans on islands, blue, and yellow: Solomon Islands' diagonal stripe with five stars, Vanuatu's Y-shape splitting red, green, and black with a yellow boar tusk, Marshall Islands' diagonal stripe + 24-pointed star, Federated States of Micronesia's four-star pattern on blue, Palau's solitary yellow disc offset on light blue (echoing Japan but with the moon, not the sun), Kiribati's gold sun rising over wavy blue lines, Nauru's blue with a yellow stripe and 12-pointed star, Samoa's red field with the Southern Cross in a blue canton, Tonga's red with a white canton bearing a red cross. This hub ships in two modes: type the country from the flag (type-in) and pick the right country from four choices (multiple choice). Both cover all 14 Oceanian states. Start with multiple choice if the flags are unfamiliar; graduate to type-in once they click.
