Can you name every country of Europe from its flag? A free flags quiz with four answers to choose from for each flag.
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.
Europe is the land of tricolours. The blue, white and red of France inspired flags across the continent, and many countries use three stripes in their own colours, from Italy and Ireland to Belgium and Romania. The Nordic countries share the Scandinavian cross, first used on Denmark’s flag, the Dannebrog, which is said to be the oldest national flag still in use.
