Can you name them?
49 of the 56, drawn ten at a time, with the wrong answers drawn from the flags people really do confuse them with. The 7 left out fly a picture that already belongs to another flag, so a question showing one would have two right answers.

How a flag gets onto this list
It is filed there. Every flag in this atlas carries a region and, for most of them, a part of that region — and both come from the same country dataset the names come from, rather than from anybody here. Nothing on this page was decided by us: the list is rebuilt from that filing on every build, so a country that moves upstream moves here.
Which means the lists are a filing system and not a claim about who belongs with whom. Five flags in this atlas are not countries at all and are described by hand, because no country dataset has a row for them.
