flag: Clipperton Island

Clipperton Island is a small, uninhabited French coral island located in the Pacific Ocean. It is a truly unique place.

The island's flag uses the same blue, white, and red tricolor as the French flag, representing the French ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity.

This island, which gained attention in the late 19th century for phosphate mining, now holds significant ecological value. It is important as a habitat for unique marine ecosystems and rare birds.

After France claimed ownership in 1858, there was a territorial dispute with Mexico, but it finally became French territory in 1931. Currently, it is designated as a special management area for scientific research and environmental protection.
