Norway Flag Colors

The blue color symbolizes the oceans and expansive skies that surround the nation, while the symbol of the United Kingdom in the upper left corner of the flag is a reminder of New Zealand's British colonial past.
The four red stars representing the Southern Cross symbolize the country's position in the southern hemisphere. The story of the flag is quite amusing, as there is a constant “copy” controversy between the Australian and New Zealand flags. The New Zealand prime minister even said once that Australia had “stolen” the design!
