The national flag of Curaçao represents the country of Curaçao as well as the island area within the Netherlands Antilles from 1984 until its dissolution in 2010.
[1] The flag is a blue field with a horizontal yellow stripe slightly below the midline and two white, five-pointed stars in the canton.
The blue symbolises the sea and sky (the bottom and top blue sections, respectively), divided by a yellow stroke representing the bright sun which bathes the island.
The centre of the smaller one is 1⁄6 the flag height from the left and top edges, and the centre of the larger is 1⁄3 from the left and top edges.
After Aruba's adoption of its own flag (while still part of the Netherlands Antilles), Curaçao received approval for a flag in 1979.
