Flag of Cuba
The flag of Cuba is composed of five equal horizontal bands of blue alternating with white and a red equilateral triangle superimposed on the hoist side of the field. The triangle has its base on the hoist end, spans about two-fifth the width of the field and bears a white five-pointed star at its center.
Where it is
Cuba is grouped in Caribbean, within Roam’s North America region. No land neighbours are listed in the source. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Cuba has a recorded area of 109,884 square kilometres. Among the 13 countries assigned to Caribbean in this dataset, it ranks 1 by area, from largest to smallest. Dominican Republic is immediately below it, at 48,671 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 10,937,203 people for Cuba in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 100 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Spanish. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Cuban Peso (CUP). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
