About This Quiz

There are about 197 countries in the world right now, and 151 of them are flying a flag that features at least some red somewhere in it. Few colors are as aligned with an emotional response as good ol' red. Crimson, vermillion, candy apple, fire truck or just blood red, the color makes you feel something. Passion, anger, desire, rage, strength, whatever it might be you can bet there's a strong emotion linked to the color somewhere along the lines.  Just look at the stars and stripes or the Canadian maple leaf. The rising sun of Japan or the bold, red field of Morocco. It's a strong color, and it's easy to notice. It makes an impression because when you see it in nature it's usually a sign that you need to beware. 

You don't need to be a world traveler to be aware of every flag out there featuring a splash of the red on it, you just need to be versed in geography and a little flag iconography. If you have an interest in the flags of the world, then let's see if you can remember all of these mostly red flags of the world. Take the quiz and show your stuff!
