flag: British Indian Ocean Territory

The British Indian Ocean Territory is a group of small islands located in the middle of the Indian Ocean. This territory is a special area administered by the United Kingdom.

The flag has a blue background with the British flag in the upper left corner. Below the British flag, there's a palm tree and waves, representing the beautiful natural environment of the territory.

This territory holds significant strategic importance, hosting military bases for both the United States and the United Kingdom. Created in 1965, the flag reflects Britain's colonial history and the unique characteristics of the Indian Ocean.

Also known as the Chagos Archipelago, this territory is the subject of ongoing controversy due to the forced displacement of its indigenous people. Recently designated as a marine protected area, it plays a vital role in preserving the marine ecosystem and remains a focal point in international politics.
