Can you name the country from its flag? Test yourself on all 196 flags of the world, ten at a time or all in one go.
Loading the quiz…
Every country has a flag, and many of them tell a story. The red and white of Poland’s flag come from its medieval coat of arms, the maple leaf has been on Canada’s flag since 1965, and Nepal’s two stacked pennants make it the only national flag that is not a rectangle. Some flags are almost twins: Chad and Romania use nearly the same blue, yellow and red stripes, and the flags of Indonesia and Monaco differ only in their shape.
Each question shows one flag and four countries to choose from. The wrong answers come from the same part of the world, so look closely at the colours, stripes and emblems. At the end you see your score and every flag you missed, so you can learn them for next time.
