Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. If you changed the background of the Bangladesh flag from green to white, it would be very similar to the flag of another country. What is the CAPITAL of that other country?

Answer: Tokyo

The only difference is that the circle on the flag of Bangladesh is slightly skewed to the left, whereas the circle on the Japanese flag is centered.

The red circle on the Japanese flag represents the sun. Well Japan is "The Land of the Rising Sun," so why shouldn't its flag contain a sun?

2. To get this country's flag you would have to switch the blue and red colors on Norway's flag. What capital city waves this national flag?

Answer: Reykjavik

Blue is Iceland's national color. The Red and White refers to Denmark, which once ruled Iceland.

Answer: Suva

Suva is the capital city of Fiji. Fiji's flag has the Union Jack in the upper left corner against a light blue field. This flag also contains Fiji's coat of arms which, depicts a British lion, a dove, coconut trees, sugar cane, and bananas. The flags of both Australia and New Zealand include a Union Jack, plus stars representing the Southern Cross.

There are also several British territories that currently fly flags that include the Union Jack without any stars - Bermuda is the best known of these - but they are not fully-fledged countries in their own right.

The US state of Hawaii also has a Union Jack on its flag, but it's not a country either of course.
