The flag of Papua New Guinea was adopted on this day, 1 July 1971. The design, created by schoolgirl Susan Karike, was chosen through a nationwide contest.

This was an earlier proposal, but in my opinion the current flag looks better: Proposal PNG flag

Damn that is a good looking flag.

Is it somehow related to anarchism? Otherwise, why was that pattern and color palette chosen?

Has to be the best Southern Cross flag

That schoolgirl might secretly be an anarchist. But for real, it's a very cool flag
