Bahamas flag

Think you know your flags of the world? Don’t think we can stump you? Think again! Good luck guessing today’s flag.

The Bahamas are located in the southeast direction from Florida and have just under 400 000 inhabitants.

CHEESY | PUN OF THE DAY

These islands used to be a British colony until gaining the independence in 1973, when the current flag of the Bahamas was adopted as well.

Afterwards, the economy began to focus on tourism and trade and this trend remains until today.

At the same time, drug trafficking is a big issue and a large part of the workforce migrates to the USA every year.

The black wedge on the left side of the flag is supposed to represent the black population of the island, while the blue stripes stand for the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

The yellow stripe evokes the sun, sand and local beaches.
