I hate flags. Flags divide humanity. They cause more harm than good.

The USA ofcourse. Since im from there. Then Britain, then France, and I just noticed that the Russians have the same colors while I was watching the closing ceremonies.

So how many countries DONT have the red white and blue triad of colors?

There are the three EYE countries: Italy, Ireland, and India, that each have red white and green.

What else is there?

USA - it is where I was born and raised so it is natural for that one to come to mind first

USA. I've seen it all my life, so I could only remember that the very moment I seen the colors. The only other flag I remembered was the UK flag.

We kind of have something similar here in the Netherlands, as each of the 12 provinces has its own flag, while every municipality within each province also sports their own flags.

I suppose this is not the case in Norway. I'm unfamiliar with the Norwegian administrative division, but a cursory glance seems to reveal that each county has a coat of arms, but no flag.


That's correct, CyclopsSummers. We only have coats of arms, for both counties and municipalities.

Brainfre3ze_93, thank you for that list! It was nice to see all the state flags. Here's a list of our coats of arms for anyone who's interested. http://no.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedi ... v%C3%A5pen
