Colours
Read from the flag itself, down to the exact shade.
- #ffffff
- #000000
Other flags with white or black or all of white and black at once.
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.
What is on it
Each of these is what this flag's own Wikipedia article says is on it, the sentence is underneath, so you can see what it rests on.
- writing
It features a white field with a black Shahada, the Islamic declaration of belief, inscribed.

What we know about it
Nothing yet. We have written up 238 of the 254 flags so far and this one is still to come, and we would rather leave the space empty than fill it with something we have not checked.
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. Afghanistan is one of the flags in each of these.
