From the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Marineri Islands:
The central emblem on the Marineri Islands flag represents a penu, a traditional carved rock or coral tool common across the Austral Islands (irl part of French Polynesia) which is used to crush food, similar to a pestle.

It is not a dress.

[OOC message] I lean left, but I realise that there still is a place for private industry in the economy. Private industry needs regulations or things get out of hand. At the same time, the public sector needs the private sector to inject external money into the economy and to keep public enterprise somewhat competitive. So, for everyone who asks why the Marineri Islands allows capitalism but is socialist, this is it. I know you may not agree with me, and that's fine.
