The only country that displays people on its flag is Belize. The flag features a white disc in the center, which contains the coat of arms of Belize. The coat of arms depicts a Belizean mahogany tree, a symbol of the country’s logging industry. Flanking the tree are two workers, a male and a female, representing the country’s diverse population.
The Belizean flag has been in use since 1981, when the country gained independence from the United Kingdom. The design of the flag was chosen through a national competition, and it was intended to reflect the country’s history, culture, and people.
