🇱🇷 Flag: Liberia emoji

The flag of Liberia, an African country founded by freed American slaves. The flag closely resembles the US flag with eleven horizontal stripes alternating red and white, and a blue square in the upper left corner containing a single white five-pointed star. The design reflects Liberia's origins as a settlement for freed slaves, with the single star representing the single African nation that was free at the time of its founding.

Liberia is known for its unique history as Africa's first republic founded by freed American slaves, English as the official language, rubber production, iron ore mining, civil wars and recovery, Americo-Liberian cultural influence, traditional African cultures, and efforts to rebuild after conflict while maintaining its distinctive identity as Africa's oldest republic.

This emoji is used to represent Liberia in discussions about West African affairs, African-American heritage, post-conflict recovery, or when referencing Liberian history, rubber industry, English-speaking Africa, and the unique cultural blend of American and African influences in this historically significant nation.

Could also be called Liberian flag, West African flag or African republic flag emoji.
