Somalia has a pretty simple national flag design, but it has significance in its basic design. The primary feature of the Somali flag is the five-pointed star in the center. This star is known as the Star of Unity, and it represents the areas where Somalis resided. This includes Djibouti, the North Eastern Province of Kenya and southern Somalia. The color of the flag was originally inspired by the flag of the United Nations. However, the color of the field is now said to represent the Indian Ocean and the sky over the nation.
