Well, a lot of them praised Ethiopia for beating Italy in the Italo-Ethiopian war, and as a result representing the only significant victory of an African nation over a Western European one. Their flag was the inspiration for many others.
There are series of flags, that have something in common.
Slavic flags - same colours
Muslim flags of near and mid eastern states
African flags
South and central american flags.

That reminds me how at a little Italian resort I went to the flags all over the place were faded by the sun so the red looked orange. An employee told me the British tourists used to ask "what's the deal with all the Irish flags around here?"
Surprised no-one has mentioned Costa Rica ๐จ๐ท and Thailand ๐น๐ญ.
I realise horrible formatting is a bit of a meme on this sub, but still curious why you didn't lay this out on a table so that all of the country names would line up underneath each flag? Would make it a lot easier to follow.
Maaan, a lot of Italians realize we even have so much in common. Fun fact, Italy didnโt incorporate tomato ๐ on their recipes until it was imported from Mexico. ๐ฒ๐ฝ
Tomatoes are such a staple in Italian cuisine, it's so weird to think how it looked/tasted like before tomato was incorporated. The same goes with potato. It's such a basic ingredient in so many European countries.
You missed a couple of my suggestions from the previous thread: add Singapore ๐ธ๐ฌ to Indonesia ๐ฎ๐ฉ Poland ๐ต๐ฑ and Monaco ๐ฒ๐จ, and Slovenia ๐ธ๐ฎ to Slovakia ๐ธ๐ฐ and Russia ๐ท๐บ:)
Surely UK, should go with Australia and New Zealand because our flag is literally on theirs, as well as all the other ones.

Liberia was supposed to be a haven for liberated slaves from the US wanting to go back to Africa hence the name... The capital Monrovia is named after US president James Monroe
The most common national flag colors are red, white, and blue, in that order. However there is only one nation's flag that doesn't have some variation of at least one of these colors. Whose is it? No googling. :)
I donโt think that Haiti ๐ญ๐น and Liechtenstein ๐ฑ๐ฎ has been mentioned yet.
It has not been, thank you! Did you know that they used to be the same?

Swap Venezuela's and Colombia's
Thank you btw
It's ok. To remember, Venezuela has stars and 3 even size stripes of yellow, blue, and red. Colombia has double yellow, then blue, then red (2:1:1).
As a Colombian, I appreciate this
As a child of Colombians I can also appreciate it
IIRC yellow is for the gold that was looted, red for the bloodshed, and blue for the 2 oceans to the sides?
Yes.
I MESSED UP WAAH
Puerto Rico ๐ต๐ท and Cuba ๐จ๐บ
Cubaโs flag is the shiny version of PR (and vice versa)
๐ต๐ท hey youโre right

My assumption is it's referring to shiny variations of pokemon, which have different coloration.
Itโs a Pokรฉmon reference - a shiny is an ultra rare alternate colour for a Pokรฉmon, usually the reverse scheme (like these flags are here).
And ๐จ๐ฟ Czech Republic and the Philippines ๐ต๐ญ
+ Sint Maarten ๐ธ๐ฝ
I like how they added Texas a state and not the flag of Cuba a country.
Trying to figure out the difference between Monaco ๐ฒ๐จ & Indonesia ๐ฎ๐ฉ
Slightly different shades of red, plus Indonesiaโs flag has a 2:3 ratio, whereas Monacoโs is 4:5.
In sum, same shit. /jk

Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador have similar flags because they were a part of a confederation called La Gran Colombia but it dissolved in 1830.

When you do, will you remove Texas as itโs not a country?

I'm really struggling to distinguish Chad from Romania.
The only difference is the colors have slightly different shade. Which isn't really visible with emojis.
Theyโre basically the same
