In the Americas, Brazil is the largest, with a green flag, a yellow diamond and a blue globe. Bolivia, Belize, Barbados and the Bahamas complete the list of independent states.
Bhutan has one of the most unusual flags in the world, with a white dragon across a yellow and orange field. Bouvet Island, an uninhabited Norwegian dependency in the South Atlantic, is the most remote entry.
Fun fact: Burkina Faso, which means "land of upright people", changed its name from Upper Volta in 1984.
