Regional flags quiz: states, cantons and provinces

Besides countries there are hundreds of flags that are just as familiar to the people who live under them. This quiz covers the flags of US states, German states, Spanish autonomous communities, Swiss cantons, Canadian provinces, Italian regions, Brazilian states and territories around the world.

How to learn them

  1. Work on one country at a time. The quiz only offers wrong answers from the same group, so a US state is never mixed up with a Swiss canton.
  2. Many US state flags are a seal on a blue field; learn the exceptions first and the rest fall into place.
  3. Swiss cantons use shields in the colors of their coats of arms, and German states often use simple bands or an animal; recognizing the style narrows the choice.
