Knew only South Africa and Liberia. Gawsh, I hate flags. (Studied them and took the quiz again and scored 34.) There are some really beautiful flags here. Love Seychelles and Swaziland - I think I'll remember those next time this is featured, as well as Madagascar which now makes me think of a large island separated from the rest.

They're brothers and sisters, and the colours represent the same strengths and struggles.

They're really similar, but I found out the difference.

Romania uses Cobalt blue, but Chad uses Indigo blue, so Chad's flag is a shade of blue darker.

I know it doesn't make sense though.🤷

Apparently, Chad also had the ability to change the blue to green once, but they feared it would be too similar to Mali's flag, so they chose to be Romania's identical twin (not really) instead.
