How flags are grouped
Flags tend to share design language with their neighbours. Nordic countries use offset crosses. Pan-African countries use red, gold and green. Pan-Arab flags use red, white, black and green. Once you spot the pattern, whole regions click into place.
That also means some flags are dangerously alike — see flags that look almost identical and the hardest flags quiz.
