In June 2022, after the Marianas Village Pride* Art contest hosted by the
Governor’s Council of Economic Advisers in partnership with the CNMI Public
School System and the Saipan, Tinian, and Rota mayors’ offices, 35 flags of the
country's villages were unveiled.
There are four municipalities in
Northern Marianas, and villages are sub-municipal entities. There are 35
official villages: 29 in Saipan Municipality, 3 in Rota Municipality, and 3 in
Tinian Municipality. The Northern Islands Municipality has no villages, as it is
now deserted and uninhabited.
Here is the full story:

All flags have a blue horizontal stripe at the top containing the village
name in white capital letters. The names under the flags are of the wining
designers.
This month (December 2022) the CNMI Governor’s Council of
Economic Advisers starts individual flag contests for the unofficial villages
(The Northern Marianas have many unofficial villages). You can see the entries

*Pride Art contest has no
connection with Pride activities of the LGBT community.
