About the flags of Southern Europe

Southern Europe has 17 flags to learn, 15 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. Spain covers 505,992 km² while Vatican City fits into 0.4 km². Italy is home to 58.9 million people; Vatican City has 764.

Across Southern Europe the recurring colours are red, white and blue. Of the 17 flags here, 11 carry red — which is exactly why colour on its own is a weak way to tell them apart.

The pairs that actually cost people points in Southern Europe are Albania–Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina–Kosovo and Croatia–Serbia. There are 6 look-alike pairings inside this region, so it is worth learning the one detail that separates each pair rather than the general impression.

Frequently asked questions

How many countries are in this quiz?

This quiz covers all 17 entries in Southern Europe. 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.
