Mauritius at a glance: its flag, its capital Port Louis, its population and where it sits on the world map. Plus a way to test yourself afterwards.
Adopted at independence in 1968, Mauritius’ flag lines up four horizontal stripes with no emblem, a rare composition among national flags.
Red recalls the struggle for independence, blue the Indian Ocean surrounding the island, yellow the light of freedom regained, and green agriculture, in particular the sugar cane fields.
No land border.
