How it is put together
Measured off the picture, the same way the colours were, not from anybody's description of it.
- a single-coloured ground
The fly edge and the foot are one colour, and the same one, whatever else is drawn on top of it.
- a disc
A single round device near the middle, as wide as it is tall, filling its box the way a circle does.
What we know about it
Adopted 1883; current form 1948
The Taegukgi: a red-blue taeguk (balance of opposites) framed by four trigrams for heaven, water, earth and fire.

Its days
The almanac keeps a page per day of the year that something is dated to. This flag is on 4 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.

Ten questions, played on the page, no sign-up and nothing kept. South Korea is one of the flags in each of these.
