Wallis and Futuna is a French overseas collectivity in the South Pacific between Fiji and Samoa, and its official flag is the French tricolor.
Western Sahara is a disputed territory in northwest Africa. Morocco controls most of it, and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic claims it. Its flag has black, white and green stripes with a red triangle and a red crescent and star.
Fun fact: W is one of only two letters, along with X, that have no UN member state, which makes Wales the best-known W flag. You can find nearby countries on the lists for V and Y.
