Armorial of Oceania

Do you know what a coat of arms is? It's like a special picture or design that represents a group or family. Well, the Armorial of Oceania is kind of like a big book full of those special pictures. But instead of representing families, these pictures represent different places in Oceania which is a big group of islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Each picture in the Armorial of Oceania has different symbols and colors that represent different things about the place it represents. For example, if a place has a lot of mountains, there might be a picture of a mountain in their coat of arms. Or if a place is known for its beautiful beaches, there might be a picture of a palm tree or a wave.

It's like each picture tells a story about the place it represents. And people can look at these pictures in the Armorial of Oceania to learn more about the different places in Oceania and what makes them special.
