🚩 Flags of the World

Name the country from its flag.

Continent: Europe (44) · Asia (47) · Africa (54) · North America (23) · South America (12) · Oceania (14).

A flag is a country compressed to a rectangle, and the society holds one hundred and ninety-four of them — the full roll. This is the one trial where the question needs no words: the flag itself is posed, and four nations are offered. The colours are a language with grammar of its own. Pan-African green, gold and red run through a dozen flags of West Africa; the Nordic cross tilts its way across five northern neighbours; the red-white-red of Austria is not the red-white-red of Peru, and Chad and Romania differ by a shade of blue that has embarrassed better people than you. The bank is graded by continent — Africa's fifty-four are the deep water, Europe's forty-four the familiar shallows — and nearly half its questions rank hard, because vexillology punishes confidence. Indonesia or Monaco? Ireland or Côte d'Ivoire, read left to right or right to left? Every flag is drawn fresh from the cache, every wrong answer joins your drill pool, and the pool follows you until each banner is beaten. It is the most satisfying bank to master, because mastery is visible: a grid of fifty flags and not one stranger among them. Begin with Europe if you want comfort, with Oceania if you want a fair fight, or with the whole world if you want the truth about yourself.
