The flag of Micronesia features a light blue field with four white stars arranged in a diamond pattern. The stars represent the four states of the Federated States of Micronesia: Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae. The blue background symbolizes the Pacific Ocean, and the stars show the unity of the states within the federation. The design also represents Micronesia's location in the western Pacific, north of the equator.
