There is only one country in the world whose flag depicts human beings.
Located on the North American continent and famous for its Great Blue Hole,
Belize has a population of just 400,000 people, but a truly unique flag.
It displays two men of different races, one Black and one Mestizo, which symbolize the unity
and ethnic diversity of the country. This flag was adopted upon Belize's independence from Britain in 1981, but the official language remained English. The capital of Belize was originally Belize City. However, after significant damage from Hurricane Hattie in 1961, the capital was moved inland to Belmopan in 1970 and is one of the smallest capitals in the world by population with just 27,870 inhabitants.
