The flags of Europe

56 of the world’s 254 flags are filed under Europe. Each one is shown at the shape it is really flown in.

Can you name them?

54 of the 56, drawn ten at a time, with the wrong answers drawn from the flags people really do confuse them with. The 2 left out fly a picture that already belongs to another flag, so a question showing one would have two right answers.

The same flags, cut smaller.

1 flag is filed under Europe and no part of it, so it appears above and on none of these.

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.
