Flag of Cyprus

The flag of Cyprus features a map of the entirety of the island, with two olive branches below (a symbol of peace) on white (another symbol of peace). The map on the flag is a copper-orange color, symbolizing the large deposits of copper ore on the island. The symbolism of peace is an attempt to indicate harmony between the Greek and Turkish communities.
