The Central Province is one of the provinces of the Solomon Islands, covering the Russell Islands, Nggella (Florida Islands) and Savo Island. Its area comprises 615 km² and had a population of 21,577 as of 1999. The capital is Tulagi.
The flag of the Central Province is dark blue. In the canton are six white
six-pointed stars, which are arranged in a pyramid (1+2+3). In the fly is an
oval sign. The sign shows a landscape of a lagoon. In the background are two
black islands, each with two palm trees, in the foreground is a black and white
shield held in front of four spears. Dark blue presents the Pacific Ocean. The white stars represent the six
parish / municipalities of the Central Province (Aeaun, Mbanika, Nggela,
Russell, Savo, Tulagi).

The Policy Statement of Central Province 2013 (from
http://www.mpgis.gov.sb/index.php/provinces/central-islands/resources) gives
a big and detailed image of the Central provincial flag. I believe in the upper and lower part of the centerpiece are the
letters C & P for Central Province? The flag used in the Games (http://www.sportingpulse.com/gallery.cgi?g=2452&e=3511&et=1&c=1-3511-0-0-0)
seems obviously to be the one shown in the Provincial Ministry site. On the
other hand the emblem of the 2013 Games to be held in Central province from
http://www.sportingpulse.com/gallery.cgi?g=2452&e=3511&et=1&c=1-3511-0-0-0
incorporates an emblem formerly shown on
FOTW.
