What does Niue's flag mean?
Niue's yellow flag places a modified Union Jack in the upper hoist. Four small yellow stars represent the Southern Cross and Niue's relationship with New Zealand, while the larger star in a blue disc represents Niue's self-government in the Pacific. The yellow field makes the design unusual among flags derived from British ensigns. Niue is a self-governing state in free association with New Zealand, an arrangement in force since 1974.
