- The flag of Kiribati is divided into two halves. While the upper half has a red field, at the center of which is a yellow frigate bird flying over the top half of a rising yellow sun with seventeen visible rays, the lower half is composed of six horizontal wavy bands of white alternating with blue to depict the ocean.
