What we know about it
It was introduced on 27 September 1992 to replace the Soviet-era flag, and on 24 January 2001 a modified version at a 2:3 ratio was adopted; State Flag and Constitution Day is celebrated on 18 May. No official explanation has been given for the symbolism of the colours, but the five traditional carpet guls stand for the five major tribes of Turkmenistan (in traditional order, the Teke, Yomut, Saryk, Chowdur and Ersari) and the five stars are read as the five regions and the Five Pillars of Islam.
Drafted from Flag of Turkmenistan on Wikipedia, as it read on 2026-08-26, and checked back against it: every date, name and number above appears in the sentences it was written from. Nobody here wrote it by hand.
Its days
The almanac keeps a page per day of the year that something is dated to. This flag is on 2 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.
