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 is
blue, with a tilted yellow crescent moon, 7 yellow stars (one larger) and in the
centre a native house. According the census Koror has an area of 65 sq. km, a population of
12,299 inhabitants, and the capital is Koror.

From http://kororstategov.com/index.html:
On the ocean of blue as the background tells a story of our greater resource, the vast ocean around us. The golden crescent moon symbolizes the new government evolving and growing with the six stars in unity. The six stars represent the six hamlets of Koror State. The larger star in the middle dividing six stars in half, demonstrates the union of the NgaraMeketii and RubekulKeldeu. The two separate leaders that once were separate, now united as one Body of Traditional Leaders of Koror. In the center of the circle is the traditional meetinghouse called "Bai". Bai will always remind us that we are sheltered in our heritage, resting on the strong stone platform, with our ten traditional leaders as our strong foundation.
In essence, the flag is a reminder that the People of Koror are protected by their Democratic Government and Traditional Leaders as they as people of traditional and heritage while growing with the Republic of Palau.
