The Papua New Guinea flag was adopted on July 1, 1971 and Papua New Guinea gained independence from Australia on September 16, 1975.

Interesting Papua New Guinea Flag Facts:
The proportions of 3:4 make the Papua New Guinea flag almost square in shape.
A competition was held to design a flag for PNG in 1971. The government approved a design submitted by local 15-year-old student, Susan Karike. It became the national flag upon Papua New Guinea's independence.

Susan, the flag designer, died in April 2017
