Flag Quiz ~Oceania Region~
Oceania lies far to the south of Japan.
While it’s often associated with Australia and New Zealand, it’s actually a region made up of many island nations.
Because there are so many small islands, there are plenty of countries you might not be familiar with.
Many of these countries rely on tourism, so this can be useful for planning overseas trips.
A lot of them also have highly original national flags, making this a fun flag quiz to enjoy just by looking.
Since these flags come from a region relatively close to Japan, try the quiz with a sense of familiarity.
De facto independent region flag quiz
Independence and domination frequently occur throughout history.
In this quiz, you’ll be presented with flag questions about places that currently declare independence but are not recognized as countries.
Because these are global issues, the topic can be quite sensitive, but we hope that learning about the flags will spark even a little interest in the situations involved.
You may come across places where you think, “Isn’t this a country?”—when that happens, follow your intellectual curiosity and look into it.
It’s a wonderful quiz for learning about world history and current affairs.
Flag quiz for kids
This is a flag quiz for children.
Although it’s intended for kids, the difficulty is fairly high, and many questions will be tough for younger children.
Still, by encountering the various shapes and colors of flags, they may become interested, start memorizing them, and find that knowledge useful in the future.
Many distinctive flags are featured, making it fun to play.
There are also plenty of questions that even adults will find quite challenging, so it’s great for learning as well.
Give it a try with your child.
Let’s set our imaginations on a journey through the world of geography together.
Flag quiz of the 27 EU member countries

In 2020, the United Kingdom left, and there were even concerns about the EU’s continued existence.

Since many EU member states are relatively familiar to us, the difficulty level might be considered on the lower side.

Some flags are so distinctive you can’t help but look them up, and there are also familiar countries whose flags are relatively obscure.
If you know a lot about Africa, be sure to give it a try.
I was first surprised to learn that there are 54 countries in Africa.
G20 Flags and Flag Quiz
The G20 brings together leaders from the world’s major nations.
It’s an important summit where representatives from Europe, Russia, Asia, Oceania, and more gather.
You may recall that it was held in Japan in 2019.
This time, we have a slightly nostalgic flag quiz related to the G20.
It’s a quiz where you select the national flag that matches the given conditions, so the difficulty level is relatively low.
Also, since it focuses on the large countries that are part of the G20, all the featured nations are ones everyone has heard of.
