Flags are basically logos for countries. Some are iconic, some are surprisingly easy to mix up. How many do you really know?
10 questions on national flags: the unusual shapes, the iconic symbols, the countries with dragons on them, and the ones that trip everyone up.
Think of flags as brand logos for countries. Like all logos, some are instantly recognisable and some are astonishingly similar to their neighbours. Red, white and blue turn up on more flags than any other combination, which means the details matter more than you might think.
A few flags are genuinely unique: Nepal is the only country with a non-rectangular flag, Cambodia is the only one to show a building (Angkor Wat), and Bhutan is one of the rare countries to put a dragon front and centre. This quiz covers the iconic and the unexpected.
