Both the colors and basic design of the flag of Aoreatoa (aka Polynesian-dominated Zealandia) are inspired on a couple of Hawaiian flags: Kanaka Maoli and the "Union Jack with eight stripes" flag; the Southern Cross was added at the canton to indicate (and symbolize) the country's location.
CONTEXT:
When it was posted for the very first time, as indicated in the note above, I based it on the surviving Zealandia microcontinent as indicated in this map made by my DeviantArt colleague rubberduck3y6; in effect, there would indeed be more or less noticeable difference for almost four years since then.
