About
The Flag: British Indian Ocean Territory emoji (🇮🇴) represents one of the world's most remote and politically complex territories—a tiny collection of tropical islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean that most people couldn't find on a map if their life depended on it. You'll probably only see this flag in very niche geography discussions, military history debates, or when someone's showing off their obscure territorial knowledge.

Did you know?
This territory is so remote and uninhabited (except for military personnel) that it's one of the few flag emojis representing a place where virtually no civilians actually live—the original Chagossian population was controversially relocated in the 1960s-70s to make way for a US military base.
