When I was a kid, I was fascinated with flags. People often found it weird: why would a preschool child be interested in flags of the world? But there I was, memorizing colors and combinations and just admiring them. To this day, when I travel to a foreign country, the only souvenir I bring back home is the national flag.
As you might imagine, none of the countries use random colors or symbols for their flags. They all have centuries of history and culture behind them. If you want to learn more about flags and their origins, you will find vexillology to be particularly useful, as it studies everything related to flags.
Apparently, “Guess the Flag” games are some of the most popular general knowledge quizzes online. Whether it is a simple flag quiz where you have to name the country a flag belongs to or choose one that belongs to the named country, or something more advanced, anytime you need to occupy yourself with something, a flags game is one of the most frequent go-to options.
But if you have already completed every available quiz about flags online and are craving more, you’ve come to the right place. We have collected one hundred questions about flags, and not of the easiest variety. This is your chance to showcase or expand your knowledge of flags and have a fun time with your friends. The answers are in the first comment, so no peeping! Don’t forget to let us know in the comments which questions you found the easiest or the toughest.

What is the name of the flag of the United Kingdom?
Ace 2 years ago
Or the Union Flag. Either is acceptable, although there are some who argue that "Jack" should only be used on a ship or something.

Is it true or false that the flag of the Netherlands features a coat of arms?
Niels Boehm 2 years ago
Coats of arms are those prominent and detailed pictographic designs that are often linked to nobility. Common symbols on coats of arms are shields, swords, lions, birds of prey (especially eagles), the sun, a crescent moon, stars and others. During medieval times they were used by noblemen as a kind of "logo" to be recognized by if you will. Usually displayed on clothes worn over their armor, hence coat of arms.

What is the only country in the world that doesn’t have a 4-sided flag?
Menno Lente 2 years ago
The question should be: "What is the only sovereign country using a non-quadrilateral state and civil flag?", because: First, every flag has two sides, front and back. Referring to it's shape, quadrilateral would be a better description. Second, the Danish, Estonian, German and Swedish naval flags, and the Danish, Icelandic, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish war flags. Third, "country" is just vague. Like "state". That is where the "sovereign" part comes in. American states are not sovereign, EU members are sovereign, for example.
