Blue stands for the Pacific, orange for Ratak, for bravery and for the sunrise, and white for Ralik, for peace and the sunset. The stripes together also suggest the equator, and the star sits just north of it, as the islands do. The 24 points stand for the electoral districts, and the four long points form a cross for Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlag Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdopted:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 May 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOfficial proportions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10:19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e blue, orange, white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmblem:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24-pointed star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVexillographer's Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Marshall Islands shares the US flag's 10:19 ratio, a legacy of its long association with the United States.\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":49954684010651,"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_the_Marshall_Islands_svg.png?v=1793893488","url":"https:\/\/humphrysflag.com\/products\/marshall-islands","provider":"Humphrys Flag Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
