Overview

International Settlement of Kulangsu (Gulangyu) at Amoy (Xiamen) was established in 1903 and abolished in 1943. It was governed by a Municipal council. I assume the Kulangsu International Settlement Municipal Council had a flag like the Shanghai International Community did. I know there was a police badge and that a municipal seal was authorized.

From http://www.historic-shanghai.com/gulangyu-the-story-of-chinas-other-international-settlement:
"The International Settlement was established in 1903 and governed by the 13 countries of the Gulangyu Municipal Council, .... By 1938, Japan�s designs on Amoy (and China) had culminated in the Japanese occupation of Xiamen; Gulangyu remained an International Settlement until its occupation in 1942. Extraterritorial privileges officially ended in 1943 with treaties signed by Chiang kai-shek, but the Japanese occupation, lasted until 1945,"
