flag: U.S. Outlying Islands

The U.S. Outlying Islands are small islands located in the Pacific Ocean. They use a flag similar to the U.S. flag, but with a different number of stars.

This area consists of several small islands, including Baker Island and Howland Island. Most of them are uninhabited nature reserves.

This flag is based on the U.S. flag, but has fewer than 50 stars. This signifies the islands' unique status as U.S. territories, but not states.

These islands served as important military bases during World War II. Currently, they are used as wildlife refuges and scientific research stations, playing a vital role in marine ecosystem research and climate change observation.
