New Zealand
Flag
Adopted: 1869
The flag features the Union Jack in the upper hoist canton with four red stars outlined in white representing the Southern Cross constellation on a blue field.
Flag fun fact: New Zealand's flag was officially adopted in 1869 and remains one of the few Commonwealth flags to prominently feature the Southern Cross rather than just the Union Jack.
