What are country flags?

Country flags are unique visual symbols representing nations, territories, and sovereign states. Each flag features distinctive colors, patterns, and emblems that reflect a country's history, culture, values, and identity. Flags serve as powerful tools for national identification, used in diplomacy, international events, sports competitions, and educational contexts.
