Haiti was the first independent Black republic and the second country in the Americas to gain independence, after the United States. Its blue and red flag carries a coat of arms with a palm tree and cannons.
Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China, with a red flag and a white bauhinia flower. The Heard and McDonald Islands are an uninhabited Australian territory in the southern Indian Ocean, close to Antarctica.
Fun fact: None of the three H countries are in Africa, Oceania or South America, so the letter belongs to Europe and the Americas. Hungary is the only one in Europe.
