How Many OBSCURE Flags Can I Recognise? @JackSucksAtLife @JackSucksAtStuff
on JackSucksAtGeography we upload a range of easy to watch & sometimes educational geography related content. I have successfully learned all 197 countries and flags of the world. I also look at interesting maps to teach us more about different parts of the world and their culture. On this channel I also play Geoguessr.

So I'm pretty good at recognizing national country flags, but how will I fare in an international organizations flag quiz
0:06
What about a territory flags quiz? What about historical flags quiz? I imagine I'll be pretty awful and I'll probably embarrass myself, so let's find out
0:15
Now I am going to ease myself in with the classic country flags, so that's Spain, that's easy
0:21
Next one, that is South Africa. So if I don't get 25 out of 25 on this one, that will be very embarrassing and you are allowed to unsubscribe
0:29
This is cuba. Okay. I'm feeling quite stressed now I need to be really careful because that will just be terrible. Okay, no way. Yep. Fine. Thank you Oh
0:37
That's luxembourg, right? Don't rush into anything jack luxembourg, please. Yep. We're fine. Come on. This is uganda next that is
0:46
Russia. Oh, slovenia is there twice Okay, fair enough. Oh Okay, I panicked but it's fine if I look really close. It says nicaragua
0:55
So I do often get this wrong. I normally say one of the others because they're all quite similar
0:59
Unfortunately, this is big enough for me to literally read the correct answer. So there you go
1:03
I know you're hovering over the unsubscribe button I know you've been looking for an excuse a little bit rude, but i'm keeping you around. All right. This is
1:09
Iran, right? Don't rush into anything. I'm happy that that is a rant. Let's go for it. There you go. Next one
1:14
These are some tricky ones. That's sierra leone though I'm confident the green the white the blue sierra leone. There you go. Yes
1:21
few. This one's Sri Lanka. Don't even need to think about it. That is Slovakia. Slovenia's there too
1:26
but I know the difference, even though they're quite similar. If Romania was on here, I'd be in
1:30
trouble. This is Chad. This is Romania, but fortunately it is not. So that is very much Chad
1:36
Thanks. Goodbye. Just 10 left before I'm not worried about people unsubscribing and they are
1:42
getting quite tricky, but that's definitely not Bolivia. It's definitely not Honduras. It's definitely not Mexico. So it's clearly St. Vincent and the Grenadines. There you go. Okay. That one
1:50
is Madagascar. This one is Germany, not Belgium. Don't make that mistake. There you go. Thank you
1:56
That is, uh, it's Tanzania, right? Yes, it is. There you go. Six left of this quiz. That's going
2:02
to be Oman. There we are. That is India. Niger's there because they're trying to trick me up. You
2:08
can see Niger and India, but the wheel makes it very clearly India. There you go. Just four left
2:12
Now that is, don't rush into it. It's Jordan. Thanks. That is Myanmar. That is not Australia
2:20
It's New Zealand. Okay, that's the penultimate one. And finally, I just have to click Rwanda and I've done the
2:26
Oh no, there's one more. Okay, this is our final one and that is Morocco. 25 out of 25. Whoa, we've got things falling
2:34
Look at that, that's exciting. Wow, they look like weird little creatures with corn heads. Oh wait, I'm looking at them sideways
2:41
They're birds, aren't they? Okay, I'll stop getting distracted. So I've successfully stopped you from unsubscribing
2:46
or maybe if you are not subscribed yet, you could click the button. I don't know, you know, let's get to 2 million
2:51
Thank you, little Christmas present. But this is where it goes downhill. These are where I am definitely going to get some answers wrong
2:57
This is the International Organizations Quiz, and the way I'm going to try and get through this
3:02
is just looking at clues within the flag. So instantly, I can see that this blue thing, that's Central America
3:08
So it's probably not Organization of Islamic Cooperation. A Commonwealth of Independent States
3:15
Probably not. Obviously, I don't know what SICA stands for. I suppose CA could be Central America
3:21
And then there's Gulf Cooperation Council. Now, this is kind of near Gulf of Mexico
3:26
But I think with the CA there, I should click CA. Phew, nice
3:31
Okay, now just to warn you, I'm definitely not going to get 25 out of 25 on these
3:35
But next up, that is definitely not the Olympic Games. There's no clues for it to be Turkic States or Commonwealth
3:41
Caribbean Community, it is two Cs. and we do have yellow, black, and green, so I think I go with Caribbean Community, and we're fine, nice
3:50
okay, I think we were given a couple of easy ones to begin with, okay, next up, I know it's not United
3:55
Nations, because I know what that flag looks like, Gulf Cooperation, nah, but Commonwealth of Nations
4:00
it could be, and it could also be A-S-E-A-N, because I don't know what that stands for, I think I'm gonna
4:05
go Commonwealth of Nations, three out of three, here we go, we got a little I, what's the I say
4:11
The Commonwealth of Nations is an association of the United Kingdom and 55 former territories of the British Empire
4:17
It encourages ties of friendship between its members. Cool to look at that info. So next up, right, what's this
4:22
OPEC, Pacific Community, Commonwealth of Nations, Organisation of Turkic States. Well, we know it's not Commonwealth of Nations
4:28
It doesn't look Turkic. Pacific Community would work with the blue, like the sea
4:33
OPEC may also work, seeing as that looks like a P. And then I guess the others maybe look like O's
4:39
So it's a 50-50 between these. I think with it being blue, I'm going to go Pacific Community
4:44
It was OPEC. I saw the P. The P was right there. Okay
4:48
What is OPEC? OPEC is an organization of oil producing countries. It coordinates the petroleum policies of its members
4:53
Okay. Fair enough. Next up. What's that? Right. It's not European Union
4:57
We know it's not OPEC. I guess this gets easier as we go because other answers can't be correct
5:02
Nordic Council. We don't have any signs of like a Nordic cross
5:06
Commonwealth of Independent States. I think I'm going with that one. And I was right
5:10
What does this do? Commonwealth of Independence States is a region organization of former Soviet Union republics in Eurasia It coordinates its members policies regarding trade finance lawmaking and security Headquarters in Minsk and Moscow Okay it kind of a cool flag that one
5:23
Right, what have we got here? Well, it's not going to be Arctic Council. It definitely could be Arab League
5:27
Do you think I'll just go for it? Yeah. There we go. What's Arab League? Regional organization of 22 Arab states in the Middle East
5:34
It's goals to strengthen relations between member states. Well, that sounds positive. Let's click next
5:38
I have a score of five out of seven so far. East African Community, Arctic Council, Organization of Islamic Cooperation, or ASEAN
5:47
I think based on the colours, I'm going this one, and I was correct
5:51
So what does this stand for? Association of Southeast Asian Nations, political and economic union of 10 countries in Southeast Asia
5:58
Okay, once again, that sounds very important. Next, oh, what we got here? We got a clue in the middle
6:02
Right, it's not going to be Olympic Games. Turkic, it could be. Sadly, I can't read what the text says, and that would probably give it away
6:09
East African community could work because that could be, I guess, yeah, I think that could be a
6:14
region of East Africa and the colors kind of look African as well. So let's go for it. It was the
6:18
right call. East African community is an organization that provides cooperation, Commonwealth market between the countries of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania
6:26
and Uganda. Okay. All of these international organizations seem to basically just do the
6:29
same thing, but in their region. Ooh, this is a cool looking flag. Right. It's not EU
6:34
uh it's not gonna be nordic council we can actually see individual flags it's got to be
6:39
organization of american states we can see usa there i can see guyana i can see jamaica yeah
6:45
organization of american states there it is body focused on human rights electoral oversight social
6:50
and economic development in the americas sounds very important let's click the next one oh here
6:56
it is organization of turkic states i've been waiting for that one there we go thank you aims
7:01
comprehensive cooperation among Turkic-speaking states. Nice. Oh, here we go. The United Nations
7:08
a flag I actually know. There you go. Don't even need to worry about it. Got the whole world on the
7:13
flag. Very nice flag, the United Nations flag. I think I'm just a sucker for blue though, as you
7:16
probably know. Ooh, okay. This looks like the entirety of Eurasia, I think. So I suppose based
7:24
on that, I'll go Eurasian Economic Union. And I was correct. Look at that. That is a huge area to
7:29
cover, but fair enough. Ooh, that's kind of a cool flag. Pacific community, UNPO, Caribbean community
7:35
So it's between UNPO and Pacific community. I think we've got a little palm tree, got lots of
7:39
blue. I'm going Pacific community. Yes. I imagine the stars represent each territory slash country
7:45
within the community. Yeah. 27 members, including 22 Pacific Island countries and territories around
7:50
the Pacific Ocean. Epic. We're actually doing not too badly. We've only got two wrong, I think
7:55
This is an interesting flag. Andean. Don't think we've had any of these bottom three yet
8:01
So I'm probably gonna get this wrong. I'm gonna go UNPO. Ha ha. No idea what that is
8:05
The Unrepresented Nations and People's Organization facilitates the voices of unrepresented and marginalized nations and peoples worldwide
8:12
Its members consist of indigenous people, minorities and unrecognized or occupied territories
8:16
Founded quite recently. That sounds like an incredible organization and quite a cool flag as well, I may add
8:22
Oh, what's this? That's got to be Arctic Council. I feel like that doesn't quite work as a flag
8:27
It looks more like clip art. I like what they were going for, but I don't think it's being executed particularly nicely
8:32
So you can see Arctic Circle at the top here. It's got to be Arctic Council. We've got Arctic Fox as well
8:37
Intergovernmental forum promoting cooperation and interaction among the Arctic states. Of course
8:42
Ooh, what we got here? So it's not OPEC. It's not NATO. It's not Pacific Company
8:46
It's got to be the bottom one. There's not any huge clues for it, but I'm clicking it
8:50
Yeah, there we go. Cooperation for countries with significant Muslim populations. Okay, we're nearly done on this one
8:56
Right, that looks like Saudi Arabia, right? And it includes Yemen or Oman
9:01
I don't know which. Arab League would make sense then. Yeah, should we just go with Arab League
9:05
Ah, Gulf Cooperation Council. Ah, I don't even know which Gulf that is
9:10
Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia. Okay, next up. We know it's not these
9:15
I guess it must be CSTO. I think they're running out of multiple choice
9:20
Collective Security Treaty Organization, Military Alliance in Eurasia. All right, cool. Oh, European Union. I know that one. Thank you. Arab League, NATO, Nordic Council
9:30
Could be Nordic Council. Each of these lines could represent a nation. I'm gonna go Nordic Council
9:36
There you go. Yeah, exactly what you would expect the Nordic Council to do. Cool. Ah, we know that
9:40
one as well. That's Olympic Games. This one I've seen before. That's NATO, right? Definitely. Yeah
9:45
there you go. We're flying through these last one. African Union, another flag that I do know
9:49
and quite a giveaway that one too. Next is what looks like a little yellow umbrella
9:53
but it's probably more meant to be the sun. We haven't had Andean community
9:58
Maybe it's a mountain thing. Yeah, I'm going to go with it. And it was correct. The Andean community is a South American O
10:04
So it's around the Andes, I assume. Right. And finally, we have, it must be La Francophonie
10:12
Sure. What is that? No idea. Oh, the info's gone. This site is a bit broken
10:17
I'm not going to lie. It represents French-speaking countries, I think. We got 23 out of 25
10:23
That's actually way better than I thought we were gonna get. But I am playing increasingly difficult flags
10:27
So next up is territories. I will have seen a lot of these flags before in things like Geogessert but I don know that many of them This one I think Saruba and it is indeed Okay this one it obviously a British overseas territory So out of those the only British overseas territory is St Helena It kind of
10:45
a cool looking flag, that one as well. I like the imagery down there. So this looks like a French
10:49
speaking territory. I'm going to have to just go with French Polynesia, but I'm not confident on it
10:53
Yeah, I'm wrong. Wallace and Futuna. Never even heard of that territory. I know this one. That is
10:58
a really cool flag and it's Isle of Man. There you go. Oh, interesting color scheme. Canary Islands
11:04
Buganda, Lundert, Chukokwe or Berbers. This is another guess. I would guess Canary Islands had
11:10
a jazzier flag. I'm going to go Lundert. So annoying. All right. This one I've seen before
11:16
I think it's Transnistria. I don't know why. Let's go. No, I'm wrong. It's Flanders apparently. Okay
11:21
Yeah, I'm screwing myself up on these ones. All right. I know what Nui looks like. It could be
11:26
Bugainville, which is around Papua New Guinea, I think. I'm gonna go for it. I am rubbish at this
11:32
Wait, I know this one. That's Guam, right? It normally has the word Guam written there. I'm
11:36
gonna go for it. Yes, good. Nice. Not Jersey. So it's between these three. It's literally, I guess
11:41
I'm going Gaganoeuse. Yeah, yeah. Looks like another French territory, potentially. Oh
11:47
where's this? United States Virgin Islands. Would they have a little US flag on it? Probably not
11:51
These are really tough. I'm gonna get a pretty bad score here. Uh, let's go with
11:56
St. Eustace. Oh, good guess. Oh, these are so difficult. It's not British Indian Ocean Territory
12:03
It kind of has Pakistan colors on the flag and that says Pakistan, so I'm gonna go with that one
12:08
Ah, you sucked me in. Oh, we might have some clues in the text on this one. I don't think we do
12:14
It's not gonna be Cocos Islands though. Uh, let's go with this one. Rojava. All right. Oh
12:18
we got England. There we go. I'll take it. Oh, what's this one? Basque country, Balearic Islands
12:24
Flanders. We know it's not Flanders. Oh no. Okay. It's not Scotland. It's not Sicily. So it's
12:29
between these two. I think it's Catalonia and I was correct. The colors were just recognizable
12:34
Okay. This looks African. We know it's not Greenland, British Virgin Islands. It's got to
12:39
be Gunayala. There you go. Nice. It's not going to be Bermuda. Well, I suppose actually it might
12:44
be. I'm guessing it's Tilsho nation though with the tents. Yeah, let's go for it. And we were
12:48
correct. Why is this? Melilla, Lunda, Tuchokwe, movement of, for the autonomy of, oh, I don't
12:55
I can't even say these answers. I'm just going to go with that one. Ah, okay. Oh, we got some cool
12:59
birds. We've got some cool seabirds. Great Lakes, Canary Islands, Rodriguez, and we know it's not
13:05
Lunda. Trying to see any clues in the text, but I'm not. Great Lakes. Yeah, all of these birds
13:10
would hang around in lakes. The seagull's more of a sea thing, but that might, I don't think that is
13:14
a seagull. I'm going Great Lakes. Oh, no. Okay, we're nearly through this. We've performed quite
13:19
terribly. It's a badass flag. We've got a tiger with some guns sticking out of it. I don't think
13:25
Tibet would be that hostile, but maybe it would. I suppose it's actually Chinese colors. Nah, let's
13:30
go. Let's go with this one. Oh, I nearly clicked on Tamil. Okay, a British overseas territory. So
13:35
I think Bermuda and Turks and Caicos are the only British overseas territories. I'm going Turks and
13:40
caicos i was brutal no worries we're on 22 25 ascension island i think that's the only british
13:46
overseas territory i like the little turtles too yes nice another one monster it could be
13:51
yeah just monster that's the only british territory what's this crimean tartars catalonia
13:56
we know it's not that azores helgoland i think the symbol looks somewhat similar to a ukrainian
14:02
emblem i'm gonna go crimean yeah it was the right call and finally we have it'll be between these
14:08
two. Falkland Islands or Turks and Caicos? Um, Falkland Islands would maybe have something a bit
14:15
more cold related to it. So I'm going to go Turks. Yes, it was the right call. All right, we've got
14:20
14 out of 25. They do still give me the confetti, which I appreciate because I'm not sure I deserved
14:25
that. But at least we got over half. That's over half, right? We're now moving on to our final and
14:30
probably most difficult flag quiz. This is historical flags. So this is probably Empire of
14:36
Brazil, because the yellow and green is quite reminiscent of the Brazilian flag, so let's go
14:41
with it. Yep, nice. Hopefully, they'll all be that easy. Nope, never mind. First Hellenic Republic
14:47
Kakongo, Shikdom of Kuwait, First Republic of Venezuela. No idea on this one. I think I'll just
14:54
go with the top one. Yeah, I don't know why I thought that. Let's see what this is. There's a bit of info about it. Provisional Greek state during the Greek Revolution. Okay, so we can see
15:02
Greek colours there. Fair enough. Obviously, there was no real clues there. Well, actually
15:06
Hellenic's probably a clue. I'm just a bit dumb. Ooh, we just got a very simple star flag. Well
15:11
we know it's not the top one. Belgian Congo. Probably not. Doesn't seem like the Belgian flag
15:16
Seek Empire, Kingdom of Prussia? None of these really feel right. Let's try, uh, Kingdom of
15:21
Prussia. It was Belgian Congo. Belgian Congo was a Belgian colony in Central Africa and the area
15:27
now known as the Democratic Republic of Congo. Previously, the country was privately owned by
15:31
King Leopold. Yeah, really, really horrible stuff happened in Belgium, Congo. King Leopold
15:36
not a nice guy, but we move on. I'm just going to whack in Kingdom of Burundi on this one
15:42
I like it though. Ah, Ankle. Ankle was a traditional Bantu kingdom located in
15:47
southwestern region of Uganda bordering Rwanda and the Democratic Republic Okay another thing that Europe destroyed I assume Next up Oh this is an interesting little flag So kind of looks South
15:58
American, Colombian, that kind of stuff. So, I think I'm just going to go First Republic of
16:03
Venezuela, and that was the right call. Short-lived independent government of Venezuela back in 1811
16:08
to 1812. Very short then, in that case. Okay, Sweden, Norway. I'm not even going to look at the
16:13
other answers. I think based on what I'm seeing, I'm going to click on that one. There we go. United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway was a personal union of the kingdoms of Sweden and Norway
16:21
No, don't believe that. Next up. Oh, all black flag. I don't think it's German Empire because I've seen that flag before
16:28
I don't recognize any of the other names. I'm going to go with the middle one. And I was totally incorrect
16:33
So-called black standard is associated with the Abizid Caliphate. It is one of the flags flown by the Islamic prophet Muhammad, according to Muslim tradition
16:43
Very long time ago as well, if you look at those dates. Okay, totally black flag
16:47
Like, oh, I've seen this one. That's Spanish Empire. I think I know that one. Yes, good
16:51
Phew. I've never seen this flag before. We have what looks like a dog with wings
16:56
I don't think it's East Germany. I think I would have seen it. I don't know. I'll go with Kingdom of Seekim
17:01
Kingdom of Champasak. Lao Kingdom in the post-Angkor period. It was sited on the eastern bank of the Mekong in the area of modern-day Laos
17:10
1700s to 1900s. Oh, I've seen this one before. Where's this? I think it's Ethiopian Empire, right
17:17
Yeah, it's got to be. Looking at the other. Oh, no. Could be Peru-Bolivian Confederation
17:22
Hmm. I think it's probably that one, actually. It's more reminiscent of the Bolivian flag, right
17:27
Ah, why did I just go with my gut? I knew it as well
17:31
Ah, that's so annoying. Ethiopian Empire was an empire that spanned the area of present-day Ethiopia and Eritrea
17:37
The flag was in use between the late 19th century and 1974. It's a pretty cool flag, but I prefer the current Ethiopian flag
17:43
with that nice pretty blue. Ooh, I think that's just Portugal, right
17:48
Yes, it is. Cool. Ooh, never seen this one before. Kingdom of Bora Bora. We know it's not Empire of Brazil
17:53
French Sudan? It might be. It could just be a French flag with their interpretation of a black person
17:57
I think I'm gonna go French Sudan. And I was right. Yeah, just a French colonial territory
18:01
Okay. Ooh, I've seen this one as well. I think that's the Holy Roman Empire, right
18:05
I'm gonna hit it. Yeah, there we go. And this one, 14 of 25
18:11
United Trials of New Zealand. And, nah, let's go Kampuchea. Oh, Kingdom of Bora Bora
18:17
So I don't know what that is either. Polynesians stay in the society islands and they share a similar language and culture
18:23
1888, it became a French territory. So we've got a lot of places that were just destroyed by colonialism, which is quite sad, isn't it
18:30
Uh, ooh, this is an interesting one. So it looks like the thing you wrote it to drive a ship
18:34
Oh, I can't remember what that's called. Spanish Empire would probably make sense then based on that
18:39
So let's go with it. Kingdom of Sikkim. I've been wondering what that is. Long-standing monarchy in the Himalayas
18:44
Oh, probably not many ships floating about there. Next up. Oh, we know it's not Roman Empire
18:49
We know it's not Portugal. So it's between these two. I guess Sikh Empire makes sense
18:54
Nope, never mind. Republic of the Rif. 1921, when Rifians led by Abd al-Krim revolted against the Spanish over in North Morocco
19:03
Okay, fair enough. Oh, what's this? Kingdom of Egypt, Kingdom of Haiti? No, New York States
19:08
No. Kingdom of Rarotonga. I think I'd go with Egypt based on it probably being the closest religion
19:14
Yes. So when was this used then? Because it looks quite new. Ah, yeah, here we go. Ruled by Muhammad Ali
19:19
I assume a different Muhammad Ali to what I'm thinking of. From the independence in 1922 until the Egyptian revolution in 1952
19:26
All right, next up. Oh, I've seen this one before. I've seen it recently as well
19:30
Yeah, it's a really early United States flag, isn't it? There we go. So-called Grand Union flag was the first official flag of the United States of America
19:37
Makes sense when you look at it. Uh, King of Egypt, Empire of Brazil. No, South Yemen
19:41
I'm gonna go for it. Yeah, there we go. Australian Federation. Yeah, that makes sense
19:46
The stars look like the ones on the flag. I'm going for it. Nice. Come on, we could do this
19:50
Qing Dynasty. No, Rhodesia could be. Ethiopian Empire. It looks like Nigeria, doesn't it
19:56
I'm gonna go Rhodesia. Oh, very nice. Rhodesia was a self-declared republic
20:00
without international recognition located in modern-day Zimbabwe. Oh, okay. So nothing to do with Nigeria
20:05
What we got here? Some of this looks like Peru-Bolivian Confederation, because we've got little llamas
20:10
Yeah, I'm happy with that. Oh my god, we've got a score of 14. I forget this one, we beat our previous score
20:15
Okay, I don't think it's Yugoslavia. I don't think it's Portugal, so it's between these two
20:19
What do I do? This one. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. But I still have a chance
20:23
I just need to get one of these two correct. Sikh Empire. Nah. United Tribes of New Zealand
20:28
We've got the same stars again. I think I gotta go with it. And we're good, we're good
20:32
We've beaten our score. Thank goodness for that. Confederation of Maori tribes on New Zealand's North Island
20:37
declared independence and existed legally from 1835 to 1840. Okay, let's see if we can get the final one
20:43
I know this one. That is East German. It's the Holy Roman Empire
20:49
What happened there? Earlier, I said Holy Roman Empire when it was just Roman Empire too
20:54
so I definitely got those two mixed up. Either way, Holy Roman Empire is a pretty cool flag as far as I'm concerned
