About the flags of East Asia

East Asia has 6 flags to learn, 5 of them belonging to UN member states. This quiz draws its questions from all of them, and the complete list with names and capitals sits directly below the game.

The countries behind those flags differ enormously in scale. China covers 9,706,961 km² while Taiwan fits into 36,193 km². China is home to 1.41 billion people; Mongolia has 3.6 million.

Across East Asia the recurring colours are red, white and blue. Of the 6 flags here, 6 carry red — which is exactly why colour on its own is a weak way to tell them apart.

The oldest design in this set is Japan, in continuous use since 1870; the most recent is Mongolia, adopted in 1992.

Frequently asked questions

How many countries are in this quiz?

This quiz covers all 6 entries in East Asia. Questions are drawn from the full set, and the complete list appears in the table on this page.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your score stays in your own browser and is never sent anywhere.

How are the wrong answers chosen?

Deliberately, not at random. Each question prefers flags that are genuinely confusable with the right answer, then countries from the same sub-region, so guessing by elimination does not work.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free with no limit on how many times you play.
