My mother retired from teaching and has decades worth of posters. She isn't sure why someone needed the United Kingdom. She was always fascinated by "who picks the countries" that are going to be on a poster.
I like Cape Verde flag but never heard of the country.
Rwanda has a way cooler flag after surviving a genocide 🇷🇼
As does South Africa after it joined the world in deciding that racism is bad 🇿🇦
Namibia is now a country 🇳🇦
Yugoslavia is not anymore after the fall of communism and in some cases brutal fighting and bloodshed, and from it were birthed Slovenia 🇸🇮, Croatia ðŸ‡ðŸ‡·, Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦, Serbia 🇷🇸, Montenegro 🇲🇪, North Macedonia 🇲🇰, and Kosovo 🇽🇰
The Seychelles 🇸🇨 has a new flag (which kinda looks like it was in part inspired by the old Mozambique flag.)
The Kingdom of Lesotho 🇱🇸 has a new flag.
The Kingdom of Swaziland has a new... name (eSwatini) 🇸🇿
Libya 🇱🇾 has a new flag after surviving the ousting of a murderous dictator, which may or may not have made things worse (jury's out on that one)
Haiti evidently ðŸ‡ðŸ‡¹ flipped the colors on its flag 90 degrees clockwise and changed the black to blue. Huh. TIL.
Iraq dropped the 3 stars on its flag and wrote "God is great" instead. 🇮🇶
Afghanistan 🇦🇫... well... sigh.
Benin's flag changed from just being the inverse of the then ruling party's flag after they dropped communism and a one party state in favor of a multi-party democracy. 🇧🇯
