The blue symbolizes the sky and the Atlantic Ocean, and the importance of what these two resources produce. The red represents the people and their heroism. The green symbolizes the vegetation and the white serves as a reminder of peace and unity.

	NAMIBIA Formal Name: Republic of Namibia. Local Name: Namibia. Capital: Windhoek. Area: 825,418 sq km - slightly more than half the size of Alaska. National languages: Afrikaans, English, German. Currency: Namibian Dollar. 1 Namibian Dollar = 100 Cents. Population: 2,030,692. Religions: Christian 80% to 90% (Lutheran 50% at least), indigenous beliefs 10% to 20%. President: President Hifikepunye POHAMBA (since 15 November 2004). Misc: South Africa occupied the German colony of South-West Africa during World War I and administered it as a mandate until after World War II, when it annexed the territory. In 1966 the Marxist South-West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) guerrilla group launched a war of independence for the area that was soon named Namibia, but it was not until 1988 that South Africa agreed to end its administration in accordance with a UN peace plan for the entire region. Namibia won its independence in 1990 and has been governed by SWAPO since. Hifikepunye POHAMBA was elected president in November 2004 in a landslide victory replacing Sam NUJOMA who led the country during its first 14 years of self rule. Misc.
