The Flag Quiz

[Firox]

That's an easy one, and good looking as well.
It's Sri Lanka.

How about a controversial one, depending on who you ask it's  either a country or not.

It has a  red Triangle on the hoist side, or the left side depending on what you call it.
The rest of the flag has three horizontal bars of black on top, white in the middle, and green on the bottom.

it's been on the news  quite a lot

Palestine! 

[Firox]

That's right, feel free to post another, hopefully Wuff Wuff agrees, even if you get the guess right or wrong.

Here is another very similar flag to Palestine, and even more controversial.  As almost everyone says it's not a country but part of Morocco. Tha'ts your main clue there.

Same flag as Palestine above with the red triangle on the left side or hoist, and the three horizontal bars of black on top, white in the middle, and green below.
Main difference is that the white middle bar also has a red crescent moon and a red star as well.

[Wuff-Wuff]

  yeah, any one can throw in one for a guessing round!

Although I must say I'm at a loss here Firox    please do enlighten us

[Firox]

Thanks, any easy or hard one is good enough, a clue or two can also help out, was it VVS I believe.

oh and Wuff Wuff, it's the controversial area known by two names which both are not official names for the 'region'
either "Sahrawi Republic" or 'Western Sahara'  just about every country in the UN says that it belongs by 'de facto' to Morocco.  Only a few handful of states trying to break away says its a nation.


Alright, an easy one that just about everyone in the world knows, giggles:
Three vertical bars of Blue, White, and Red.
I'm sure the biggest 'dead giveaway' is Paris! 

[Ves]

France!

[Firox]

Yeah, it's France.  That was an easy one.

How about one that made a small change to their flag recently, description:
It's mainly green with a yellow star and a yellow crescent moon underneath the star, the two points of the moon pointing up.
Before the changes in 2018 that was all it had, in that year they added two horizontal red bars on top and bottom.

clue if helpful at all: the country is almost entirely in the Sahara desert, and even features a unique  formation of blowing sand that resembles an eye and the natives call it 'The Eye of the Sahara' not sure what the Arabic name for it is.

[Wuff-Wuff]

Oh I think it's Mauritiana!

Here's a fictional one! Name the media it came from (bonus points if you know the state that it represents within the fictional world, or the flag it was originally based on) A small hint: it's from a video game.

Description: the flag is mostly white with a thin red stripe at the bottom (horizontal). On the top left of the flag is a red star. In the centre is a depiction of a two headed bear walking on a patch of grass (facing towards the hoist).

[Firox]

No idea where it is from.  I"m more good with Geography than with media.  *giggles* feel free to tell us where it's from.  Don't recognize it from the description.


Easy or hard depending on your knowledge of Geography. It is all white.
In the middle is the outline of the island all in yellow.
Right below it are two green leaves.

Bonus - another group  on the same island disagree with the flag and they use their own instead.
Which is also mainly white, with two thin red horizontal bars  near the top and bottom leaving white bars, and the larger center white has a red crescent moon, and a red star.

clue: one group speaks Greek, the other half speaks Turkish.. There is a 'buffer zone' in the middle that speaks English.

Oo Wuff is that the New California Republic flag! and Firox is it the flag of Cyprus?

[Firox]

Yep, that is correct, 
How about an easy one.

It's three horizontal bars.
Light blue on top
Black in the middle
White below it. 

clue Tallin and Narva are two famous cities.
music clue if you even know it, my favorite band sings folk metal in that language using various instruments including Torupill and kannels, the band is Metsatoll, with dierisis over the o, two dots, I don't know the UTF code for it or how to type it.

[Ves]

Estonia 

[Firox]

The other baltic nation, likely the giveaway clue.

It has three horizontal bars of White on top, blue in the middle, and white on the bottom.
It also has a Vertical bar near the hoist, or left side forming a cross shape.

 their language  sounds similar to Estonian.  I listen a lot to songs in their language.
Main clue is the capital is Helsinki.

[Wuff-Wuff]

@Ves: you were right about New California Republic 

@Firox: must be Finland!

[Firox]

*Giggles* - how about the most complicated and hardest flag to guess, no one has ever gotten it correct in their lifetime - *giggles*

it has three vertical bars, the  two on the sides are thinner by about one third and they are red in color.
The middle vertical bar is much thicker and inside has a red maple leaf. 

*giggles* yep, no one will guess it.  *laughing loud*
