Welcome


Our New Flag Shop

 
Over the years we've had hundreds of enquiries from people wanting to buy flags from us. Until now all we've been able to do is recommend a local supplier who might be able to help, but at long last we've found the soloution. We've teamed up with the new Mr Flag network to provide a full Internet flag shop for you to buy flags from. To make life easier there are now "Buy" buttons below most main flags, but if you want to purchase any flag on this site, just email Mr Flag to find out how much it would cost.
 

National Anthems

 
Many people have asked for national anthems to be included on this site. I have now found a source of information on national anthems in the form of the www.national-anthems.org website run by Michael Jamieson Bristow who edits the definitive book on current national anthems. On the website you can purchase sheet music for almost any country. In the near future I hope to add basic information about the national anthem of each country to its page. The next stage will be to get Midi files of each so that you can hear them, so if anyone knows of a good source of national-anthem emails then please email me.
 

US Flag Images

 
Many people have requested larger US flag images for printing, so here they are (to download one just right-click on the one you want and choose the menu item "Download link to disk" [or similar] - Mac users should click and hold down the mouse button until the menu appears): A Large Colour GIF, An Outline GIF (for Colouring), Macintosh EPS File and Windows EPS File. For the two GIF images if you can't get the "Download link to disk" menu to appear then just click on the image you want and when it has appeared right-click on it and choose "Download image to disk" [or similar] - Mac users should click and hold down the mouse button until the menu appears. I hope these are useful.
 

Welcome to the World Flag Database, maintained by Graham Bartram . The original flag drawings were created by the Flag Institute as EPS files.
 

This is a complete list of all the countries, territories and sub-national regions covered by the database. There are over 260 pages on countries and international organizations. Each page contains basic information on the country, including its formal name, capital city, area, population, currency, languages, and religions. The flags include the national and state flags, ensigns, and sub-national flags. Where countries have changed their flags in the last few years the old flag is also shown.
 
Probably the fastest way to find a country is to use the individual alphabetic indices. These include miniature versions of each country's flag. To see the countries starting with a particular letter click on the letters on the left. If you can't find the place you want, try the complete index instead.
 
The main section of the database covers current and recent flags, but this section includes historical flags. They are divided into periods or events. This section will grow over time as more and more historical flags are added.
 
If you want to find out what has changed since you last visited the site then this section will tell you.
 
The World Flag Database has teamed up with the new Mr Flag Network to enable you to buy many of the flags you see on this site directly over the Internet. Mr Flag provide all the usual Internet shopping facilities, including secure payment by credit card. In addition to national flags Mr Flag also provide a wide range of other flag-related material, from bunting to flagpoles, so why not visit our new shop.
 
Full contact details for the World Flag Database can be found here, along with a copyright notice and privacy statement.
 
This is a new section, still under construction. It will cover the history of flags, flag books, flag manufacturers and other flag websites.
 
Look here for more information on the navigation used in this website. The section also includes a glossary to help with some of the terms used on the country pages. There is also a Sitemap of the database.
