What flag is this?

Tick what you can remember and the 254 narrow down as you go. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is asked for.

A colour and a shape, already ticked — 52 of them, one for every pair some flag really has.

Where the three lists come from

The colours are taken off the picture, not from anybody's description of it — what the flag is painted in, and how much of it, filed under the nearest ordinary colour word.

What is on a flag comes from that flag's own Wikipedia article, and every one of those claims shows the sentence it rests on. That is why the list is what it is: if no article describes a flag's charges in words, its flag is tagged with nothing rather than with a guess.

All of it is already in this page, which is why there is nothing to wait for and nothing to sign in to: the narrowing happens on your own machine. Turn the network off after this page has loaded and it keeps working — the only thing that still needs it is the picture of a flag you have not scrolled down to yet.

The shape is measured off the picture too, and it is the roughest of the three. 215 of the 254 come out with a shape it has a word for; the rest are left blank rather than described wrongly. Crosses are deliberately among them — an upright cross divides a flag both ways at once, which is the one arrangement this refuses to call stripes, so look for those under cross and saltire instead.
