Daily Featured Flag #16: Kiribati

Today's daily featured flag for 12 July, 2026 is the flag of the Republic of Kiribati. (Pronounced keer-ih-BAHS.) To be perfectly honest, this flag could use some work. It's a bit overcomplicated and the eye on the bird look just plain silly... but this flag is extremely charming. The aspect ratio and the overcomplicated sun rays are cute, and the waves are pleasant to a freaky degree. The black borders surrounding the yellow elements are also a choice, but it's hard not to love this flag. Look at it. It's adorable.

If you'd like your favorite flag featured tomorrow as #17, go down to the reblogs or replies and tell me about it. Bye for now!
