The flag of Mava consists of a horizontal bicolour of white and blue, featuring in its centre a stylised wave mirrored horizontally. The wave is counterchanged: that part within the white is coloured blue, and that within the blue part is coloured white. The flag was adopted on 13 June 1925 by resolution of the Mavean Assembly, being the first state symbol formally adopted following independence earlier that year. 13 June is celebrated each year as "Flag Day", which has largely superseded the country's official independence day as the primary day for national celebration.
The flags official name, as specified in the Flag Act 1929, is the "National Flag of the Republic of Mava" (Mavean: Kaamatyakii Maava Yakiinaigaalu). However, the flag is more commonly known as Kaamatuulikalat ("Our Blue Flag"), which is the name used by the Department for Education, Communities and Culture in its flag regulations.
