Clue explained
Namibia’s flag includes a golden sun in its upper hoist-side corner, so SUN is the feature the clue asks for. The flag’s bold diagonal red band, bordered in white, separates blue and green fields; the sun’s twelve rays add a bright emblem to the blue area. Namibia adopted the design when it became independent in 1990, and its colors are commonly associated with the country’s landscape and resources.
