Wooden Puzzle Map of Belize

Flag: The flag features a royal blue background with a white circle in the center, depicting a mahogany tree, symbolizing Belize’s forest resources. On either side stand an Afro-descendant and a Mestizo man (of European and Indigenous American ancestry), holding an axe and a paddle, representing Belize’s coexistence with both land and sea. Before its independence, Belize was known as “British Honduras,” and the colonial-era flag design—featuring a ship sailing on waves—remains in the current flag. The Latin motto at the bottom, “Sub umbra floreo,” means “Under the shade, I flourish,” symbolizing Belize's rich natural ecology.
