At independence on 12 July 1979 islanders chose this banner over a proposed design that kept colonial elements. The frigatebird stands for strength and freedom; the 17 rays for the 16 Gilbert Islands and Banaba; the three white bands for the island groups of the Gilberts, Phoenix and Line Islands, set on the ocean that joins them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlag Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdopted:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 July 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOfficial proportions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e red, gold, blue, white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmblem:\u003c\/strong\u003e frigatebird over a rising sun, 17 rays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVexillographer's Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rising sun suits a nation that sits partly at UTC+14 and is among the first in the world to see each new day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHumphrys Flag Company · Old City Philadelphia · Est. 1864\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Humphrys Flag Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49954678014107,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/0228\/2907\/files\/1280px-Flag_of_Kiribati_svg.png?v=1793893702","url":"https:\/\/humphrysflag.com\/products\/kiribati","provider":"Humphrys Flag Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
