Colours
Read from the flag itself, down to the exact shade.
- #ce1126
- #002868
- #ffffff
Other flags with red, white or blue or all of red, white and blue at once.
How it is put together
Measured off the picture, the same way the colours were, not from anybody's description of it.
- 3 horizontal bands
The fly edge changes colour going down, the foot does not, and every change is a straight line right across.
- a disc
A single round device near the middle, as wide as it is tall, filling its box the way a circle does.
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.
- moon
The national flag of the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao: ທຸງດວງເດືອນ, RTGS: thung duang duan, meaning 'Moon flag') consists of 3 horizontal stripes, with the middle stripe in blue being twice the height of the top and bottom red stripes.

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. Laos is one of the flags in each of these.
