flag: Northern Mariana Islands
This is the flag emoji for the Northern Mariana Islands, a beautiful vacation destination. The island of Saipan, which is popular with South Koreans, is located here.
The blue background symbolizes the Pacific Ocean, and the central star represents the commonwealth. Behind the star is a "latte stone," a stone pillar used to build traditional indigenous houses.
As a U.S. commonwealth, the blue background and white star also suggest a connection to the American flag. The latte stone symbolizes the unique culture and history of the indigenous Chamorro people.
This place holds the painful history of being a major battleground in World War II. Now, thanks to its beautiful nature, it is beloved as a destination for diving and recreation, and people often use this emoji to tag their location in travel photos and reviews.
