The flag of the Federated States of Micronesia is a light blue field with four white five-pointed stars arranged in a diamond pattern in the center. The blue field represents the Pacific Ocean. Each of the four stars stands for one of the four states in the federation: Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae. The design emphasizes the unity and interdependence of these states in the vast oceanic expanse.
