List of national flags of sovereign states

"Flags of the World" redirects here. For the website, see Flags of the World (website).
A collage of various national flags around the world (clockwise from top-left):

All 193 member states and 2 observer states of the United Nations, in addition to several de facto states, represent themselves with national flags. National flags generally contain symbolism of their respective state and serve as an emblem which distinguishes themselves from other states in international politics. National flags are adopted by governments to strengthen national bonds and legitimate formal authority. Such flags may contain symbolic elements of their peoples, militaries, territories, rulers, and dynasties. The flag of Denmark is the oldest flag still in current use as it has been recognized as a national symbol since the 14th century.

Background and definitions

See also: History of flags

According to the Collins English Dictionary, a national flag is "a flag that represents or is an emblem of a country."[1] The word country can be used to refer to a sovereign state, sometimes also called an independent state.[2] It is customary in international law that states adopt a flag to distinguish themselves from other states.[3]

National flags are considered to "provide perhaps the strongest, clearest statement of national identity," and governments have used them to promote and create bonds within the country, motivate patriotism, honor the efforts of citizens, and legitimate formal authority.[4] Throughout history, elements within flags have been used to symbolize rulers, dynasties, territories, militaries, and peoples of their respective countries.[5] Flags also conceptually represent a country's core values, such as group membership and love for the country.[6] In 1975, American vexillologist Whitney Smith stated thus regarding the role of flags in society:[7][8][9]

So strong is the tradition of flags, we may not be far from the truth in surmising that there is a law – not of nature, but of human society – which impels man to make and use flags. There is perhaps no more striking demonstration of this than the fact that, despite the absence of any international regulation or treaty requiring of a national flag, without exception every country has adopted at least one.

— Whitney Smith, Flags Through the Ages and Across the World, p. 32

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a sovereign state is "a state or nation with a defined territory and a permanent population, which administers its own government, and which is recognized as not subject to or dependent upon another power."[10] The amount of sovereign states in the world is generally derived from the number of member states of the United Nations (UN), although non-member states do exist,[11] with such states being called de facto states.[12] As of 2024, the UN currently includes 193 member states and 2 permanent observer states: the State of Palestine and Vatican City.[13][14] De facto states include Northern Cyprus,[15] Abkhazia,[16] South Ossetia,[17] Transnistria,[18] Kosovo,[19] the Sahrawi Republic,[20] Somaliland,[21] and Taiwan.[12]

The oldest flag of a sovereign state which is currently in use is the flag of Denmark, which has been recognized as a national symbol of the country since the 13th century, although the current version was officially adopted in 1867.[22][23] All 193 member states and 2 observer states are represented by their respective flags at the Headquarters of the United Nations in New York City.[24]

  2. ^ The legitimate government of Afghanistan, and therefore flag, is presently disputed. De facto, the country is governed by the Taliban under the name of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. However, the United Nations officially recognizes the defunct Islamic Republic of Afghanistan as the legitimate government.[25][26]
  3. ^ Media related to Emblem of Afghanistan (2004–2021) at Wikimedia Commons
  4. ^ The designer of the flag is disputed between Émilie Busquant and Chawki Mostefaï [fr].
  5. ^ Also known as the Australian National Flag
  6. ^ The current flag is an adaptation of the original Soviet design by Mikhail Gusyev
  7. ^ Sources contradict as to the designer of the flag. The following have been given as the flag's designer:
  8. ^ Gauthier designed the previous version of the flag, which the current one is based on.
  9. ^ Denmark as a sovereign state is represented by the flag of Metropolitan Denmark, which excludes the Faroe Islands and Greenland.
  10. ^ The flag can be lengthened up to a ratio of 28:37

  13. ^ When used as an ensign, the ratio is 1:2.
  14. ^ According to an apocryphal story, Catherine Flon is also credited.
  15. ^ Between 1955 and 2022, the Honduran government erroneously used a design with a navy blue color instead of the specified turquoise blue. With the inauguration of president Xiomara Castro, the correct colors were restored.
  16. ^ Between March and July 1958, Jordan and Iraq merged into the Arab Federation which bore a similar flag to that of Jordan, albeit without the star. Nevertheless, the flag of Jordan itself is considered to "have not changed since its independence."
  17. ^ Although 3:5 is generally used, 1:2 is also accepted.
  18. ^ It has been claimed French general Hubert Lyautey personally designed the flag, however he only played a minor role in the process of its adoption. The design for the flag only emerged through negotiations between the French administation and the Makhzen.
  19. ^ See Flag of North Korea#Creation
  20. ^ Ratios of 1:2 and 5:9 are sometimes used.
  21. ^ Either Manuel Amador Guerrero or his son Manuel Encarnacíon Guerrero. Some have also suggested the former's wife María de la Ossa de Amador, although this is considered unlikely.
  22. ^ The decree of July 2013 specifies a proportion of "1:0.55" for the "larger and smaller dimensions" respectively.
  23. ^ With help from Marcela Agoncillo, her daughter Lorenza, and Delfina Herbosa de Natividad
  24. ^ Deputy Prime Minister Toh designed the flag with two civil servants.

  26. ^ Following the Fall of Damascus in December 2024, it is speculated the flag of the Syrian opposition will become the new official flag of the country.[789]
  27. ^ Habibullaev led a committee to design the national flag.
  28. ^ 2:3 and "approximately 3:5" have been given as the flag's ratio. It has also been claimed the proportions are golden.
  29. ^ Robert Heft has claimed, and has been credited by some sources, as the designer of the 50-star flag. However, this has been thoroughly disputed by Slate writer Alec Nevala-Lee who has instead suggested William R. Furlong as the flag's true designer.
  30. ^ The designer of the flag is disputed between Nguyễn Hữu Tiến [vi] and Lê Quang Sô.
  31. ^ On 31 March 2024, following changes to the Constitution of Somalia, the government of Puntland stated that it no longer recognises the authority of the Somali federal government and would no longer participate in Somali federal institutions. Furthermore, it was stated that Puntland would "operate as a state that's independent from Somalia until there is a federal government with a constitution agreed upon in a referendum in which Puntland participates".
  32. ^ On December 23, the SDF launched a Counteroffensive on Aleppo, which effectively makes it possible to consider Rojava as an independent state.
