SUMMARY:
- Australia and New Zealand have a lot in common, but their flags just look way too similar. Both of them are essentially a blue field with Union Jack to represent their British colonial past in the top inner corner.
- Flag of Monaco is using the heraldic colors of the shield of Monegasque royal family arms. The flag of Indonesia is a reminder of those times when it was associated with the Majapahit Empire.
- Flag of Venezuela has stripes equal in size, an arc of stars in the middle and the national coat of arms in the upper hoist corner. The flag of Ecuador also features the national coat of arms, except it’s right in the middle.
- Norway and Iceland have derived their flag from their peer - Denmark. So both feature a white Scandinavian cross and a color combination of red and blue.
- Flag of Luxembourg didn’t stem from the Netherlands but developed on its own. The two banners differ in the shades of blue and their ratio: 2:3 for Netherlands and 3:5 for Luxembourg.
- The flags of Egypt, Iraq, Yemen are based on Arab Liberation Flag of 1952. They consisted of three equal horizontal stripes of red, white and black.
- Flags of Bahrain and Qatar are often mistaken for one another, but local people will assure you they are completely different.
- The Russian tricolor became the inspiration for flags of many countries in eastern and southern Europe.
- Croatia and Paraguay have a tricolor in the same order of colors as their national banner.
- It takes a real flag expert to spot any differences between the flags or Romania and Chad. That difference is in the slight variations of shades between the blue, yellow, and red vertical stripes.
