Based on a personal web site at http://www.users.quest.net/~rae.4332/flags.html (no longer available), developed by an inhabitant of Palau, which shows the flags of all the 16 states of Palau.  The flag has 6 red rays fimbriated white on a blue background, with at the centre a white disk with a blue bird. According the census Melekeok has an area of 28 sq. km, a population of 261 inhabitants, and the capital is Melekeok.
