A New USA Flag Shop

Good news for all our American users - I have entered into a sponsorship deal with United States Flag Store. This means that you can now buy flags from a US supplier, rather than the UK. The "Flag Shop" and "Buy this flag" buttons now all point to the appropriate places on the United States Flag Store. As a bonus, their sponsorship means that I have been able to drop all the popup adverts from the site. In future these should not appear, a change I hope will meet with your approval.

British Flags & Emblems

My book is now available for purchase online. It covers Britain's various national flags and the protocol governing their use, the Royal Arms and Royal Standards, military flags and Colours, flags at sea, Britain's rank insignia and much more. This book is intended for use by Government and Executive departments, British overseas missions, Local Government, schools, corporations, businesses and private individuals. You can buy it online or read a review by Captain Malcolm Farrow RN.

Full index

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.

Single letter indices

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.

Flag Shop

This website is sponsored by United States Flag Store, the largest online vendor of flags and flagpoles. This flag store has an inventory of over 500,000 flags, including the flags of 200 countries, all 50 US states, as well as all US military, decorative and historical flags. All flags are available in a range of different sizes and fabrics. Throughout the site the more popular flags have a "Buy" button below them that will take you straight to a page to purchase that flag. Most order ship in less than 1 business day, and flags can be shipped worldwide. This flag store can also produce any flag on a custom flag basis.
