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.
- a diagonal division
One straight edge crosses the whole flag at an angle, with one colour all the way down one side of it and another all the way down the other.
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.
- crescent
Until 1962, the flag's emblems, both the sun and the crescent moon, had human faces, but they were removed to modernise the flag.

- sun
One popular interpretation is that the symbols of the moon and sun represent peace and hard work, respectively.

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.
