Flags by Continent

The Flags category teaches a selection of designs worth knowing; this one covers all of them. Flags by Continent splits the flags of the world into five decks, one per continent, and each deck holds every state on that continent: the UN members plus the two observer states, Vatican City and Palestine. The levels run Europe (45 flags), the Americas (35), Asia (47), Africa (54) and Oceania (14), so you start with flags you half-know already and end with small Pacific nations that almost nobody can name. Working through one continent at a time keeps the look-alike flags side by side, and that is where most flag quizzes are decided.
