Name the country

This is Barbados. The central trident head—with its shaft deliberately broken—symbolizes Barbados’s break from British colonial rule at independence in 1966. The two ultramarine bands evoke the surrounding Atlantic (sea and sky), and the golden center recalls the island’s sand. Memory tip: think “Barb-ados” → barb/trident, and the broken shaft = break from Britain. Barbados is a Caribbean island nation famed for cricket and calypso; it became a republic in 2021 while remaining in the Commonwealth. Don’t confuse it with Jamaica’s green-black-gold X or Nicaragua/Ecuador, which feature detailed coats of arms; Barbados keeps a bold, simple trident.
