Other flags with red or white or all of red and white at once.
How it is put together
Nothing the measurement has a word for. It reads eight shapes off a picture: bands, a canton, a wedge at the pole, a disc. This flag is not any of them, so the space is left empty rather than filled with a description nobody took. The finder says what else it cannot see.
What we know about it
Adopted 2002 (red-white since the 19th century)
Five white serrated points for the five pillars of Islam on red.
Qatar's flag is maroon with nine points, the classic Gulf mix-up.

Its day
The almanac keeps a page per day of the year that something is dated to. This flag is on one of them, with the sentence that says so.
Nearest in the world
Every flag is compared with every other one, off the pictures themselves. Two copies of one picture score 0; these are the closest to this one. How that is measured.
Quiz yourself
Ten questions, played on the page, no sign-up and nothing kept. Bahrain is one of the flags in each of these.
