Flag of Marshall Islands
The flag of Marshall Islands has a blue field with two broadening adjacent diagonal bands of orange and white that extend from the lower hoist-side corner to the upper fly-side corner of the field. A large white star with twenty-four rays — four large rays at the cardinal points and twenty smaller rays — is situated in the upper hoist-side corner above the diagonal bands.
Where it is
Marshall Islands is grouped in Micronesia, within Roam’s Oceania region. No land neighbours are listed in the source. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Marshall Islands has a recorded area of 181 square kilometres. Among the 5 countries assigned to Micronesia in this dataset, it ranks 4 by area, from largest to smallest. Palau is immediately above it in that ordering, at 459 km². Naoero is immediately below it, at 21 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 36,282 people for Marshall Islands 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 200 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are English and Marshallese. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is US Dollar (USD). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
