The flag of the Faroe Islands is an offset cross, representing Christianity. It is similar in design to other Nordic flags – a tradition set by the Dannebrog of Denmark, of which the Faroe Islands are an autonomous country.
The flag is called MerkiĆ°, which means "the banner" or "the mark". It resembles the flags of neighbouring Norway and Iceland.
